Restless Nights, Anxious Days

I am at 1.0 and 2.5 hours for 30 seconds. This level was set yesterday. I have been under more stress lately. Working in the heat has not helped either. Teeth problems consisting of a root canal. I am not sleeping well. Grinding of the teeth, nightmares, falling out of bed, all on the increase. The doctor put me on a restless leg syndrome drug. I took the first dose last night. No change, don't expect any until the drug increases in the blood. Floaters are back after a small decrease. I have fears of some thing flying into the car windshield and killing me. This is a new feeling. Doesn't stop me from driving. One day at a time.

First Real Down Turn

I have been living from day to day, ever increasing the amount of activity and of course stress. And I have to say that I have been doing quite well. Instead of crashing after an early shift, I can do things, which is way cool. Until the past three days. Now on the forth day I am much better. Heat, dress codes at work, despising people's actions at work, higher gas price, medical bills, yadah yadah, yadah. One gets the picture.
I have found that my creativity level is up.Way up, migraine, much lower. Still see floaters. That maybe just a part of my vision anyway. I am still on the first level of drug reduction. So I think the whole process will take two or three years. We will be patient. (It is now 3 years later, and I am continuing to find the roots of the depression and the VNS keeps plugging along, the depression is linked to allergies, hormones, spinal maladjustment, digestive problems, immunity, toxicity as well-editor)
