Night of the living dead

[mdlbear]

I did not have a good night last night: straps, wires, and tubes are not conducive to sleep. Last night was my night for the sleep apnea test; they give you a gadget to wear that straps on and includes two strain-gauge bands, a tube going up to your nose, and an oxymetry sensor that clips onto a finger. They really prefer 5 hours worth of sensing; they'll be lucky if they got four. I think I finally got to sleep around 2:30, after taking a flexeril at 2:00. After trying the couch -- the flower_cat was wakeful for different reasons.

Tried adding niacin and B12 supplements to my daily pill salad. The recent tests for those were in the normal range, but I figure it's worth seeing whether they help the neuropathy and triglycerides anyway. I'd forgotten about the facial flushing effect from niacin -- impressive.

I went to a sleep center. I had to go home by bus. I brought my own pillow.

I goofed on Monday. My doctor told me to Niacin. I took the dose and ended up in the hospital because of the reaction. I couldn't breath and I thought I was having a "CSI" moment where I was going to combust into flames. Silly mouse.
