[QUOTE="flutterbee, post: 131322"] Marcie - my GP mentioned a sleep study, but said she doesn't want to send me to yet another specialist for yet another test only to find out I have Restless Leg. However, it's something she's keeping in the back of her mind. SMX - I hope you get answers soon. At least I don't just nod off. I may want to, but I don't. That would be very disconcerting. (((hugs))) Marguerite - Thanks for the tips. I do a lot of those things now. I try not to stop or sit once I've started something. I used to fold the clothes as I pulled them out of the dryer, but now I put them in the basket and have easy child take them to my room (carrying anything has me in agony over my hip before I get down the hall) and I fold them on my bed. My bed is tall and I don't have to keep bending over. I don't expect as much from myself. I used to clean the entire house and would have it worked out in my head how long each task would take. I no longer hold myself to the time standard and stop when my body needs to. Unfortunately, I don't have a self-cleaning house so the mess will still be there for me to tackle tomorrow. :raspberry-tounge: I woke this morning and felt more rested than I had in a couple of weeks. It felt pretty good. Then, I had a 3 hour neuropsychologist appointment today and I was absolutely, wiped-out, exhausted after. I came home, made a sandwich and laid down for a nap. That was around 1pm. It felt like I had just closed my eyes and someone was ringing the doorbell and the dog was barking. I was so annoyed wondering who in the heck was disturbing my nap. It was my son home from school. It was 3:15. I felt like I had just closed my eyes. I let him in, laid back down and slept until 5:30. I'm ready to go back to bed now. [/QUOTE]
