Last night I think I slept from 3-4:30am and 8-11am. I don't understand why it's so hard for me to get a good night's sleep. And I don't know why the docs are so averse to putting me on prescription sleep meds. must...sleep...aggh.
Symptoms today: palpitations, hot & cold, migraines, my feet feel really heavy. Harder to get around. Fatigued. etc.
So tomorrow's the big day. Tilt table test at LF Hospital early early. I'm a bit nervous I won't "pass" and be diagnosed with POTS because 1) my palpitations don't necessarily go away or slow down when I'm sitting or lying down and 2) I haven't noticed blood pooling in my legs and feet like a lot of other POTS patients have.
Anyway, thanks to everyone who's been reading this, and keeping me and my family in your thoughts and prayers. Thanks especially to a few who've sent "good luck charms," --very appropriate for St. Patrick's Day! :) I'm so blessed to have such great friends and family. Oh, and I hope I've answered a lot of questions by adding the lists on the right column. Thanks for your emails and advice! =)
love and four-leaf clovers,
emma
