Yup, once again I am suffering from a bad night of sleep.  Maybe it’s been adding up, too. I don’t know. But it’s not any fun at all, and I’m feeling very flaky and light-headed, as though I just didn’t get enough oxygen when I was asleep last night.

Ugh.

I still wonder about the sleep apnea… but I think I’m going to finally give in and do what the doctor told me to.  For starters.  Taking the Nasacort and Allegra and see if that helps.  I guess it could be allergies… but I still rebel against that idea.

Talking to a coworker who is on a C-Pap machine for sleep apnea, his symptoms pre-C-Pap seem similar to mine. My nose seems clogged solid, not like when I’m sick and it’s running.  Afrin does work, but it’s too addictive to use on a regular basis.  It worked for him, too. He says the C-Pap machine keeps his nose clear and drained and he feels better during the day.  And since my husband and I have separate bedrooms, he doesn’t know if I gasp for breath in the middle of the night. I swear I feel like I do, though.

So I dunno. I guess I should do what the doctor orders first.  So I’ll try the drugs for a month and see if they help any.  Bleh. I just really hate taking drugs every single day, and with the potential of the rest of my life.  I really don’t like that at all!

Today I feel oxygen deprived, can’t really hold a thought in my head very well, and I’m so tired I just want to go back to sleep.
