Sleep doctor and neurologist working together

So my sleep doctor was not happy with the medications that I'm taking overnight she said it is basically like trying to put a fire out with gasoline she wants to completely change my meds and wants me to stop when I'm taking. Her and my neurologist who I found out are cousins are going to work together to find me medications to help control my tics, OCD, outburst and sleeping. They want to have a dual appointment with me on Friday the thing I told her I was not willing to stop was my depression medications it is the only thing I have found that helps me in years and I'm not willing to give it up. She was perfectly okay with that thank goodness I am ready for this week to be over with already LOL

I am glad you have found two doctors who are willing to work together to give you the best care possible. I too see a neurologist and sleep doctor. I hope all turns out well for you.

@ThesebootsRmade4walking I've been trying for years to get help so I'm not getting my hopes up but I can't go on like this much longer
@Cigarguy101 life can be downright hard. Peace be with you.

One thing I JUST thought of...because your health is, in fact precarious, you need to make a legal document giving Joel guardianship of your children. May God forbid that anything should happen to you and your mother becomes their guardian.

A LOT of times, medications can play holy hell with your sleep.

ALSO, (little known fact), drinking even ONE glass of alcohol can eff up the sleep patterns of a depressed person for as long as THREE nights.

@Cigarguy101 You had better tell her you drink a glass of whiskey every day. Hopefully she will know about how THAT affects your sleep, too.

@4meAndyou she knows and is not worried about the small amount of whiskey I drink a day
