well Ive been drinking Monsters for over a year trying to keep me awake during the day ..And I wonder why I have chest pains but any whooo. The day time sleeping is getting way worse, I fall asleep driving so I'm getting really accustomed to the rumble strips, thank god for them ! Then there is the sleeping at the traffics lights and getting honked at but, its at work that is the problem. I fall asleep with no warning all of a sudden I just wake and look around wondering how long Ive been out and checking my chin for drool. This happens about 9-12 times a day that I can count. I think it is only for a few seconds at time but just in case you are new to my blog my job requires me to not srew crap up , so then I have to back track to see what I have done last. So I got some samples of Nuvagil... well the first day I felt like I was on speed and had to pee every 15 minutes and then at 11:00 pm I was on Google trying to figure out how I was ever going to sleep again cause I was still twitchy!~ But then it wore off. I read the pill lasts about 12 hours. So per usual I slept great at night and was tired the next day so I took the Nuvagil earlier in the day and for the next 20 or some days I felt awake and functioning without the heart attack causing Monsters but then I started to run out so here is where the new journey begins. The insurance will not cover them unless I get diagnosed with something and I don't mean the diagnosis I cooked up after all my google searching. By the way my diagnosis is Narcolepsy and why you ask? not cause I go crashing to the floor and need a helmet like the chick on duce bigalow or the guy on the tv show Taboo or what ever but because the "spells" are frequent and I fall into REM sleep within seconds, REM is the state in which we start to dream and it takes most people about 90 minutes to get to that state. Well not me ..during these spells I start dreaming immediately and then I wake up with a start not knowing where I am or the last thing I did. YIKES! There is another common symptom of Narcolepsy where you loose control of your body movements or something well I don't have that, well unless you count the slapping reaction I control around dumb people. Sooo I have an appointment tomorrow with Doc klock and I'm sure we will start with some blood work and then hook me up to some sleep machine, but the problem is I sleep great its the staying awake that is the problem. So Ill keep you all informed of the tests and hope I don't really need a helmet ! and If you are wondering.... here is a mental picture for you right now.... I took my last Nuvagil that Ive been hoarding out of desperation and I washed it down with a Monster and I'm sitting at my desk on a huge, blue, bouncy, ball pig tails boppin' I feel great but without the drugs and Monster I fell asleep about 8 times already today and 3 of them while I was reading about the Narcolepsy if that's is not funny I don't know what is.
Note two monsters and a large coffee on the desk
well TTFN
