Hi Dinah,
It started getting really bad on 11/22/2006 (I've been keeping notes for my therapist).My MD noticed that my testosterone was really low, even for someone my age (56), so he's going to try to increase the level to see if that helps.
This week I start the prescription. I had to wait until after the first of the year because I was in that infamous "donut hole" in Medicare Plan D (after being covered for $2200.00 worth of meds, you have to pay the next $3600.00 out of pocket. When that's done, the coverage kicks in again, hence the "donut hole"). I'll have a deductible for the new year, but at least I'll be paying the money towards that instead of throwing it away.
Oh yeah, they've ruled out a thyroid problem too.
I'm scared. The morbid feeling that goes along with these sleep marathons gives me a sense of foreboding that I've never had before.
Needless to say, my pdoc is going to get an earful next Monday. I see the therapist on Thursday too.
I hope something happens in the next few weeks to turn this around.
Take care Dinah,
Reggie BoStar
