I had a cool dream last night I just don't remember a lot of it. But it was something with ships. Ships that sailed the sky and a war, I think there had been a war and people were looting museums. There were lots of statues and gold covered objects and people trying to get into ships, old fashioned Spanish looking ships and Chinese looking ships only they sailed the sky not the sea. I do remember there was a sense of my being a giant and redistributing the loot among the ships to make it fair and that I shrunk and got onto my favorite ship which looked more like a fancy frame than a ship.

Hyper-awake here at 11 PM. Hyper-alert. Colors too vivd, sounds too intense and loud. Getting paranoid again. Getting a little psychotic once more. Everything looks phony and unreal, just like always. A fake world. Oh well. Maybe I won't have any more visual hallucinations this time. No way I can go to bed like this. That just makes the hallucinations way worse. Maybe watch a movie or something.

I’ve been awake since midnight. I’m tired I just don’t want to sleep. I’m drinking the new Mountain Dew that came out last week.

I ended up going back to sleep about 6:30 to 9:45, then going for coffee. I may have messed up my sleep schedule but at least I feel better now.

It’s called liberty brew Mountain Dew. It tastes like liquid gummy bears.

Hang in there, Christina. This thing is slowly turning. We'll keep praying our butts off...

I hope you feel better soon Christina.

I, too, have a love-hate relationship with Prednisone. I hate the drug but I do love to breathe.

Thank Bp

Polibeth I knew you would so understand it..... Total suckage isn't it !

Then we are suppost to get that Saharan dust mid to late week I think.. Of course Steve and I stay indoors it doesn't effect most people but anyone with any breathing issues are told to sit inside lol I'm okay with that because Damnnnnnn its been so hot out... Muggy oppressive

Does prednisone make anyone else feel like they are living on the Sun?? I absolutely burn up taking that garbage, I've hopped in the shower twice today just to cool off ! I got the AC on and fans blowing and Id love to run it at 40 degrees

Ahhh the fun

I had a pulmonology appointment this week and I got sorta reamed out for not using my CPAP machine - but it just feels uncomfortable so the doctor asked me to meet with the sleep educator about mask options. I agreed even though the sleep educator is kind of intimidating - LOL.

So I've been trying to wear the mask for at least half the night and that's working out pretty well. My sleep quality is terrible whether i use the machine or not.

Really? I thought they were supposed to help. I hope you find a better mask that really suits you.

0327 hours and not asleep, clearly. Wide awake. Crazy buzzing sounds all around me. Went for a quick walk a few minutes ago, as I was so amped up. Lovely out there. Not really the best time for a walk on the river, safety-wise, prolly. Oh well.

Might try to lay down again at 4 and see what happens. Hope everyone else is asleep.

Nammu its hell freaking hell for me. I'm a sweaty rage-y monster that literally doesnt sleep more than mins a night and all I want to do is EAT, I'll be stuffed but I'm still wondering if my sofa would taste good

Polibeth... Im sorry your dealing with that.. My husband had a pulmonary appt today and I know he has Sleep Apnea so hes getting a sleep study soon and I know a Cpap is gonna happen and yes the mask, My husband will have alot of trouble accepting and not just ripping off while he sleeps. i hope they can find your a mask that is a better fit for you

Bp I hope sleep finally found you

I hope I do. I'm starting to cough and my energy is so down. For the last several nights I've been staring at the ceiling. This morning I got up then decided I was too tired to sit and went back to bed at 9:30am. I used my eye mask to block the light but still didn't get decent rest. Tried to imagine a dream but only came up with the summer cabin I grew up going to. It was nice imagining I was back there but it was no dream and no sleep.

I dunno I just drank a huge bottle of Gatorade with a laxative mixed in and took two tablets of another kind at 6 tonight. The latuda needs 350 calories to work and I'm on a clear diet today. Gotta get up at 6 am to drink the other bottle as its a split dose. So I'm not at all sure how things are gonna go. But I'm tired.

Oh Christina I hope you get some relief from worry and physical stuff soon.

Cyclist I'm glad you got a great nap in, any dreams?
