I WAS going to ask for advice on why I am suddenly having uncontrollable sleeping...

Nykee · January 23, 2006

hummm.. ok I have taken all that into account.. My level is surpose to stay under 8.0...and last time I did it it was.. but I remember when it was around 6.5 and I was being told I was at the low end of the scale.. and here I am letting it creep up.. hoping I lose the weight and avert the situation..

jack.. a 12.. wow..

as far as the opiates (someone called them) I have been on them a couple years,, and on the viccodan for like 5 years now.. (but I am practiacally off the vicodan witch is really neat) I never became dependant on any of it, but I know I will suffer irritating withdrawl when I go off.. I will do it slowly of course. I cant wait not to have to have any at all..

There's also Iron to consider. If you're eating as badly as you say you could be anaemic, which would make you very tired.

Get yourself checked out Nykee. Most of those things take nothing more than blood tests to ferret out.

:thankyou: If this has be going on for only two weeks I think I would look into taking a pregnancy test. I know uncontrollable sleeping was my first sign. M

Of course take everyone's advice and see a doc, but my mom is going through the same thing as we speak. She has been on pain pills for years after a surgery she had on her back and now has lots of metal there where her back used to be. Well, she is considered obese, being 4'11" and 150 pounds, so her doc runs every test and found nothing other than pain will make you sleep. No matter what meds she is on there is always a bit of pain. I read online that this pain can cause you just to sleep all the time. She just recently retired too, so she wakes up, moves to the couch, takes a nap, wakes up eats dinner and goes back to bed. She gets out of the house when she needs to, but as soon as she is home she is sleeping, all through the night too. She does have sleep apnea and refuses to wear the mask and chronic pain. She swears it's not depression, but it worries the crap out of me for someone to sleep so much. I hope your doc can help, because you are right, It could be any number of things. Do check the thyroid and sugars and sleep apnea. But I also know I sleep like that when I am PMSing and my hormones are all outta whack, so have them checked too. I hope you can find out what is causing this. Keep us posted.

thank you.. it seems to be getting better, but I dont know if thats just cuz I talked about it or what?

Well.. today I slept.......... the major thing is I think.. the heavyness of the sleeping..

Today i slept but I was up all night.. so it makes sence I would sleep.

BUT.. the different thing is HOW deep of a sleep I am in that I NEVER used to be in.. and especially in midday with my kids milling about??

I dreamed hard.. and felt alot of irritation when I woke up and fell back to slleep immediately.. ALL things that are NEW.. and differnt and seem worrysome..

Mvpo, I am not pregnant.. lol .., I had my tubes tighed when I was 19 and I have had a uterus ablation TWICE.. lol (I WISH THOUGH!)

I will call my doctor for an appointment tomarrow..

So you are diabetic?

So is my mom.

When she is eating crap, she feels like crap! And has about 4 *PASS-OUT* naps during the day.

Just trying to analyze this, I would think that sleep induced depression would be to "get-away" from feeling sad, pain, etc. But what you are describing sounds more like my mom's symptoms...

she'll go 3 days in her duster, not getting out of the house... b/c she's so tired and sleeps so much during the day. Weve been there visiting and looked over and she's passed out in her recliner.

Anyway, my cousins hubby is diabetic as well. She said that when he isnt eating the right choices, he is extremely sluggish and sleepy all the time.

This may not be YOUR case, but then again, it may.

PLEASE keep us posted. ((hugs))

BTW: do you have a home blood sugar monitor?

Nykee · January 25, 2006

I have one somewhere but no way will it be acurate as the tab things expire I am sure..

I am going on monday.. and if my blood is over the 8 points.. I will get the monitor up and running and do that stuff.

About eating crap.. I been eating crap for a decades... I dont see it so differently now than all these years, but ya never know how the band effects it..

Well.. I wasnt gonna go.. until today (I made the appointment today)

Cuz l slept from 5pm to 1am... then 4am to 3pm and now been up since and its 4am

and the 4am to 3pm was DEAD asleep.. dreaming about adam sandler and all kinds of stuff

Thats totally totally OUT OF WHACk..

I kinda hope it is my blood sugar, (yes I have type 2 diabeties)

Cuz that can be fixed and explained..

thank you for your support:)
