Insomnimaniac

It’s been too freaking long since I posted anything of any substance on this diary and I know that I need to write. However, nothing of any consequence is happening on this side of the screen. Except for one thing.

Insomnia.

These past couple of weeks have been the worst since I’ve been home. It started first while I was out on the road and hasn’t stopped yet. In fact, it’s gotten worse in my opinion.

For example, I try to go to bed with Gina so I do not disturb her later should I decide to stay up. That usually means I’m headed into the bedroom with a book or my PDA, turning my phone off and charging my Bluetooth headset and lying down in the bed sometime around 10ish.

Last night though, I fell asleep just slightly and was up and down from 10:30 p.m. until about 2:30 this morning (at least that’s what time it was when I last looked at the clock) and then up at 8:15 this morning.

My doctor has prescribed me Ambien to help with the sleeping but I can’t afford to get it filled right now. Unfortunate for me but the insurance won’t pay for the prescription after the first 30 pills…which went away a couple of months ago. I’ve got a call into the insurance company to see what can be done about this. Apparently, they don’t want to cover it on the off chance that my doctor is prescribing the medicine for a condition that it’s not meant for.

I can only hope that they come to their senses and give me the pills I need.

Till Next Time,

From one insomniac to another, I feel your pain. It’s gonna be another 2:00/3:00 am’er here. Wake up call at 7:00 is verrry tough. I’m hoping mine is just temporary. Meaning, when I get home for good, this sh!t will cease! I am passing you a glass of warm milk and if that doesn’t work, make it a White Russian. 🙂
