Up All Night!
I’m so jumpy today, as I double took my steroids under doctor’s orders. I’m on steroids to combat severe, permanent, environmental allergies (I’m allergic too hard plastic, which is impossible to avoid in regular life). I usually take two kinds of allergy medicine, but every two or three months they decide I only need one kind of medication.
Then I need to double up on the remaining medicine just too keep breathing. Often, this gives me insomnia, which means a not fun night for both my personal care assistant (PCA) and me. I think that I slept about 2 hours and poor Amy, my PCA, got about 4. This is because I only called her when I needed her, not just because I was awake. At least now I have my right medicine, so hopefully I can get a nap this afternoon.
