M.S. and Sleep Anxiety

This is the oldest of the reasons why I'm tired all the time. Well not including Jerry, of course. The super smart neurologist and the doctors call it "m.s. related fatigue", Well I'm just plain tired. Not depressed, they tried saying that, too. TIRED! Like the kind of tired I would rather sleep than do just about anything, hard to move tired. As if I had on 20 coats like the Randy on the Christmas Story.

Just to make sure "that there is nothing else going on" The doctor, nerologist, wants to do a sleep study. Weeks later I get to go have this done. I was working at the time in a inner city school, for children with social disorders... long story short, and politically incorrect... They got kicked out of every other school, they kill, want to kill or people are trying to kill them, however, they are not locked up or dead  yet, pegnant , on and dealing drugs and reproducing, but not in jail. They need somewhere to go that is not on the streets, why not a charter school catered to them "no child left behind right"? I wonder if it counts as children if they are 20 years old? Yeah, anyway......

Keep in mind I have a new baby and am trying to find a new job closer to home. At the time we bought a house, not even a year ago, and I just got diagnosed with m.s. My boss was crazy and no public school even wanted to talk to me since I taught at a charter school. Since charter schools take all the good kids from the public school, (Make me laugh) how on earth could I possible work in a Unionized public school.

Calling off was not an option most of the time, if you wanted a job..... No union remember.... and talking to other people and the police, forget it. If you did, it didn't matter or they didn't care. (I tried)

My life hasn't changed to much since then. I'm more stressed, no job, two kids, struggling and failing miserably at being a good Christan. Still have a house, still have m.s. still have a husband.

My point is thousands of dollars, and time spent away doing a sleep study gave me this knowledge........
I have allot of stress in my life. The results of the sleep study show I have allot of anxiety, and  I have m.s....... Really doctors....... Thank you, thank you, and here I thought I was tired because I snored.

The million dollar advice I was told...... Sorry but anti anxiety pills won't even work for you since you have real reasons to be anxious.... O.K. Thanks again, for this invaluable advice..... They could however prescribe some medication for people with narcolepsy and Alzheimers so I could stay awake longer...... My response, Thanks again for your help.... who do I write the check out to? .... More stress......
