Sleep....don't take it for granted!!!

Grrr....I've been suffering from insommnia for about 2 weeks now!! *sigh* Those of you who can sleep DON'T TAKE FOR GRANTED!!! I did, now I wish I had it back. It just one of the s/e of Lupron I *did* get. Grrrrrr..... Lupron hasn't been too bad otherwise. The Estrogen/Progesterone combo is keeping the hot flashes and night sweats to a minimum. No real problem with those once I began the "add back" therapy. Yea!! No mood swings. Whew!! At least none that aren't generated by lack of sleep, but I've been managing to keep those at bay. I called Dr. C's office this week to see if there was tips or something they could give for the insommnia. I just *love* how supportive she is being. Her nurse called to say that Ambien was Rx'd, but to becareful and not take it every day (I guess highly addictive) :-/ Anyway, it work for the most part. So I guess a couple nights a week I'll sleep until I see Dr. C at the end of the month. I really have to say, it's been nice that she's answered each s/e effect. Tons more support than my last GYN when I did Depo Provera. I think that had I been supported better during that, I might have agreed to Lupron a lot sooner. I kinda kick myself for not doing it sooner. But then hindsight is 20/20. The pain is getting better. Each week is better than the one before. :-) I'm down to Motrin, albeit 1200-1600mg of it, but at least I'm not at risk for getting addicted to it. :-/ I can't wait for it *all* to go away. I'm still holding out hope that it will. I hear the 2nd shot is most times the most beneficial, so we'll see in time. I am certainly learning patience.
