I’ve literally been up every 30 minutes and need to be out of the house and arrived at by destination by 8:30 along w/ taking care of everything related to my family/dogs/household. I should try to sleep for another hour… hell who am I kidding… another possible 30 minutes but then it’s always harder to wake up. ahhh the life of an insomniac. getting to sleep isn’t even my problem anymore (it used to be so bad) but it’s staying asleep that just is impossible (especially on antibiotics and some of my other meds). that whole saga in the notes.

#I hope I’m functional plzzzz g-d #and I was battling the return of my ear infection (seeing an ENT this week finally!) bc I have severe Eustachian tube #dysfunction and have had a history of it so the fluid behind my ears has nowhere to go so it’s gets reinfected + made worse by #the immunosuppressants and my disease itself #so that’s why I’m off my heavy duty meds and it’s still not healing #so I’m on another round of antibiotics that I think is finally helping a bit w/ pain since it’s the 36 hr mark #this ear/sinus/whatever mystery ENT is triggering chronic migraine episodes daily despite all of my chronic migraine meds due to how #inflamed and irritated my trigeminal nerve - stimulating a migraine #that and my auto inflammatory disease going haywire and made worse by not being on the meds that made my ear infection worse to begin w/#it’s a miserable cycle #and the pain has kept me up all night too #I just hope I get better as in look like a human and put one foot in front of the other
