ZZZZzzzz : I need more sleep !!

I am feeling sleepy most of the time. Wonder whats happening. Also feeling tired ,fatigue on some days. Other days I am all right. Have a doc's appointment on monday. Hope he changes meds n that helps makes me feel better.

Sleep has become a big problem for me. When I have to go to college/work I sleep for like 4-6 hours at night. Then I go to college. After returning home, I have to sleep for like 2-3 hours. I know I have to change this style. My food habits too haven't been good. For lunch I have been havin a chicken burger,sandwich. At night I have some regular food stuff. Hope I feel fresh tomorrow. Would really help if I could feel lil awake n fresh to do a whole day's work!


Ciao n Peace.

Shocking

I was shocked to see the ghastly scenes at Virginia tech on tv. My thoughts n prayers are with the victims families. Such a terrible thing to happen. An Indian professor n student were killed in the shooting. I feel so sorry for all the victims families. Just reminds us life can be so short,cruel n unpredictable. I wish GOD gives us strength to overcome such terrible setbacks.


I have my semester exams in about 17 days. So busy studying. I'm not feeling that good these days. Feel tired all the time. My stamina has been affected. It could be the new treatment I have started. Who knows! I still have pain in legs sometimes. Still I'm trying to keep my chin up n work hard. 8 hours sleep seems to be inadequate. Just today after coming home, I slept for almost 3 1/2 hours. Woke up had dinner,watched tv n now just checking mails.

I found a website that addresses several medical problems. More like a support group. I have joined couple of communities there. I feel like I need a sort of a closure on the past incidents that happened. I know I am still under treatment for DM, not prednisone or metho but just homeopathy. But some things like the convulsions, the coma or the days I was stuck up in bed or the inability to swallow,damage caused by the optic nerve atrophy, sometimes haunts me. I am a strong person. But sometimes in my weak moments , I am overcome with these emotions. So just looking to read other people's experiences n how they dealt with such tough times.

I hope things turn out good for the next couple of days. Shocking incidents happening everywhere. Hope that world becomes a better place to live in.

Ciao n Peace.
