I have actually been sleeping more than I ever have. When I started working 3rd shift I couldn't sleep during the day so I started averaging about 6 hours a day. I did that for over a year. Then at the end of June I just started feeling dizzy. I went to the doc and told her I have this pain in my left side it feels like a running cramp, but it gets worse after I eat and i am feeling dizzy and the dizziness is increasing. There is some other little stuff too. At the time I was driving 4 hours a day to and from work and averaging about 55-60 hours a week at work. Plus, work wasn't a pleasant place to be (boss from hell in all aspects). So, they decided it was stress and took me off work for a week. She wanted to run tests, but took her sweet time and took me off work for two more weeks. SHe literally had me scheduled for 3 tests until the 12th of August one per week and wanted me off work till she had the results. Work said I could have the time off I needed to get better and then at the end of the second week off and at the beginning of the third week off they came back and said I had too many absences and they were going to have to let me go. (not because I was sick though, but because I was gone). So, at that point the stress was gone. I went back to the doc a few times and she literally blew me off and said it was stress. Now that the stress is gone I'm still getting dizzy and the pain is still there. Unfortunately we are having some issues getting me on my husbands insurance at the moment open enrollment and such and I may have to pay out of pocket for Cobra for a month or until we get this settled. Plus, I need to find a new doctor. Mine didn't do any of the simple tests like a blood test for example. In fact now that I think about it she didn't take me very seriously at all. I should have been much more of a force to reckon with. Sorry way long explanation that was wasn't needed to answer the sleeping question. [8D]
