[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 567936, member: 14557"] I think that problem is that your doctor is kind of right. It does help with sleep issues to have very strict routine and not to let yourself sleep during the day. being active helps. You are having medications that take some stamina out of you. That all is true. Other problem of course is that it is not that easy or even possible to follow her suggestions and like many psychiatrists she wasn't minding your physical problems (that seems to always happen - and also other way around.) I can easily understand why you want scoff off her opinion, but how about if you take a deep breath, try to forget that she was offensive with you and try to think if there could be any way you could follow some of those advises. Even if you can't be physically active more than certain short periods a day (and try to do that if and when you can), can you do something else to keep you awake during the day even if you feel tired? Are you a gamer at any chance? Console games are good at keeping people awake and don't require much of physical activity. And have you lately had a comprehensive medications evaluation? (sorry, don't know how to express that in English correctly, I mean that one doctor should take a look of all the medications you are taking and if they are all necessary, if they go together and if some of them could be replaced with one other medication that would work to all those problems etc. Idea is to check if there are unnecessary medications, medications that don't go well together and try to lessen side effects. Around here this is done periodically with people who have several medical issues because studies have shown that many people, especially elderly end up with too many complicating medications because of they have so many treating doctors and specialists.) You are not an old lady yet, you have big part of your life still left. It is imperative to do all you can to do everything you can to keep your functioning level as high as possible so that you can have lots of good years to enjoy your life and watching your grands to grow. And yeah, do not tell Tony what the psychiatrist said because it seems he often isn't too supportive of you with health issues. [/QUOTE]
