I've always loved sleeping in. Sleep is delicious. Especially in the fall when things are chilly in the room, but it's warm under your blankets. OH! And then you move your feet and find a cool spot to put them...siiiigh.
Lately, though, I can't seem to stop sleeping. I'm on the right medications, and I should be feeling pretty good, but I'm tired down to my bones. I can usually only manage an hour, maybe two, awake before I have to lay back down again.
I mentioned to my doctor that, even though my blood is testing in the normal range, I am feeling really run down and probably worse than I felt before adding blood sugar/thyroid medications into the mix. I even have acanthosis nigricans under my arms, which I haven't had for years. He found it really curious, because the metformin and januvia I am on should be helping both my insulin and sugar levels. I'm not so worried about the thyroid situation. I can see changes happening that let me know it's working itself out.
It really doesn't make sense.
It's hindering my ability to do anything. I have been looking for work, but I can't imagine working when I'm feeling this way. I have projects I want to do, but my brain is so tired and foggy, I can't even just sit and think things out.
I feel bad for BeBe. She wants to play and go on walks, but it is hard enough to get up out of bed.
