My appointment thursday went pretty well I guess. They have a plan for me anyway. The doctor said I have Cervical Facet syndrom; the facet joints in my neck are laced with arthritis. They also mentioned "empty sella syndrom" where apparently my pituitary gland is either so thin or so small it can not be detected on the MRI. What are they doing? I will be put to sleep thursday (hahaha yay sleep)and begin a series of 3 injections into the facet joints in my neck. This really freaks me out but I feel like I have few choices left. At least i'll be put out through it; I really hate needles. I hope that these shots work. I need relief; I need sleep.
They also changed my Lyrica to Cymbalta for the fibromyalgia. I have only taken it two days so its hard to tell if it is going to be better or not. It doesnt seem to have the groggy effect as the lyrica had.
Next they started me on Sonata; a sleep medication. The ambien was a bust and it seems as though this medication is too. Its only the first night though so maybe tonight will be better. After 2 pills I got 1 hour and 15 minutes of sleep. Not really any change from what i was getting without it. I'm really starting to believe that people can go absolutely insane without sleep. Its really wearing on me. I guess i'll try something else if this doesnt work.
