I'm trying to work on my sleep schedule so I probably won't call late at night. I need to pay attention to when I take the meds I'm on (Vyvanse). If I take it too late in the day, then it's very hard to fall asleep at night. Then I end up a mess either getting up early anyway to take the meds (now I'm on stimulants without sufficient sleep) or I sleep so late that I can't take the meds (so I have a chance of sleeping that night 😴).

This goes double for taking my thyroid meds. It's best taken on an empty stomach and an hour before I take my other meds. So if I'm not keeping my sleep schedule regular, then all my meds get messed up.

I now have an alarm wake me up at 7am to take my thyroid meds, and then another one at 8am for my other meds. If I didn't get enough sleep, oh well! I just go through the day feeling bad. That's what I did yesterday. I'm better today, but I still fell asleep later than I should (teach me to send TT gifts out late and then staying up to keep my giftbox cleaned out! LOL!).

I'm so sorry there isn't anything you can take that helps you with the vertigo and migraines. I honestly don't know how you deal with it all and stay so cheerful!! I hate taking all the meds I'm taking and hope to get off of some of them, but I know if I didn't have the Vyvanse, I'd sleep most of the rest of my life away, and when I was awake, I would be depressed at how bad I constantly feel and how little I can get done. I wish medical science could figure out what causes CFS, but I'm not holding my breath. At least I finally found something that does help me be more functional again. 😊

Take good care of yourself and thanks for caring! I'm so fortunate to have you as a friend. Huge hugs to you!! 🤗🤗😘💖💞💕
