I have kind of started vlogging....

So over the past six months, I have randomly been doing videos.  This is my experiemnt blog, so i figured they would go here first:)  They are just me, talking and not very good lighting. So enjoy....I guess

What to do, my conundrum

I am never sure what to do.

As to what you may ask?

Today I woke up, and was mostly awake for someone who has what I have can be, I get up get breakfast and after that I am overwhelmed with tiredness and fatigue......My brain is saying "You just had 11 hours of sleep!" but my body and eyes are like " Brains!!!" ok, not brains but "Sleeep" said in a zombie kind of way... Do I push through it? will that make it worse? or do I rest? Will that make it worse?  ugh....A lot of times I really can't push through it, it is overwhelming and I just end up resting somewhere.

Someday we should play the game :"Where will you find Krista resting/sleeping today?"

Next theory

I have been doing some research and have come up with another theory...... Although I need to go to a  doctor to get tested for it.

Trying to get into doctors, at times, with CFIDS is kind of a nightmare.  I got a referral to this one doctor, she saw the word fatigue, didn't look at my results (although I don't think they were sent) and denied me and referred me to a doctor I already see. I called said doctors office to tell them my results are why I was being referred and receptionist said she was not going to forward it back to the doctor because I was already denied.....I then decided to call someone else, and get a referral sent to them....welll after several phone calls, I got my referral sent somewhere else. They are supposed to be calling me with appointment times but I have not heard from them....Next step?  Go to my doctor and just ask them to run the test for this theory I have and see what comes of the blood work.....

Pink Drink a no go for now.

I have decided to all together stop the plexus drink. I am not sure if my body just doesn't like it or if  something else is affecting me.  I have been pretty sick this month, and started it when I thought I was getting better, well I seem to take a turn downward for the four days that I was on it, and felt better the day I decided to go off of it.

 My thoughts on the plexus drink: It was never supposed to cure me from my CFIDS, but I had read some reviews that it helped people with it, Most people I read the reviews seemed to notice a difference within the first day or two, I did not feel any better, but slept for very long periods of time during the day when I was on it. I can usually manage 11 hours of sleep and maybe a nap (remember I have CFIDS), if I feel like I need it. On this stuff, I was sleeping most the day away, and also the night....Again not sure if it was this, but I stopped and my sleeping hours went back to my normal hours.

After two days straight in bed, I am giving the pink drink a break for today, and seeing if it is what is causing me to just sleep and sleep....

So it is night time and I've not actually felt like I needed to sleep all day. So I might g go a second day off this drink.

same as yesterday, feel like I am dragging around an extra 100 lbs of weight, can't stand for long with feeling like I am going to fall over....

I am doing this because I started a new regiment. It is called Plexus. I have been on it for 4 days. No change...

I felt crappy again today, I  can't do anything without breathing heavily and feeling like I am  goin to fall over from lack of strength .

I think I'm turning this blog into something else

This is going to is going be my " how I'm feeling at any given moment" blog
So today I woke up with an ear ache...right side... Extremely exhausted...I'm going to try and nap.

Mixed

I'm having mixed emotions right now

well

Hmmm....that didn't go as planned.
I took a two hour nap from ten to noon. Stayed awake until seven had a terrible headache, took ibuprofen, fell  Asleep until midnight. Then slept until 1:40 pm!!! What??

Better Sleep

Log Entry 4:42 am October 27 2014

I am determined to get on a better sleep schedule, without ambien. I don't like being dependent on that drug. I have been laying in bed watching TV all night. That is something that should be changed. No TV on after 11. I know it should be sooner, but I will work my way down. I am going to do what Ashley's professor made them do when she went to Switzerland. They didn't sleep from when they first arrived and stayed up all day and then that night crashed to get used to the time change.  We will see how long I make it today, but I have been laying down most the night. I know I will be super super tired.... We will just half to see how far I can get.  I hope to check back in with you throughout the day.

  I am still awake! yay! RB just told me he has not confidence that I will stay awake all day! I love him :) I think he knows me better then I do. Anyways, I am going to go eat breakfast now.
