> Hey DL, sorry I didn't respond earlier - been having computer troubles.
Thanks for the response. Things have been tumbling in on me lately. I seem to be able to bumble along ok until too many things pile up..then I'm back there hanging off the cliff.
> It's too bad your doctor didn't want to let you try Cylert; did he say why? I took 18.75mg (the lowest dose it comes in) for about 6 months and it actually improved my sleep
He feels that if I am sleeping most of the time and getting to work that there's no reason to add anything. I think he is a little suspicious of the information I come in with from this site? THis is a doc at a mental health center who sees a lot of more dramatic cases. I have always tenaciously hung on, even at great expense to my physical and spiritual person--in some of the most terrible circumstances--all the while putting on a wonderful front to the world. I'm sure the doc is overly busy.
> Also, where in NH are you exactly? I'm in Boston and know a few good doctors here, if it's not too far away. It does sound like your doctor isn't taking your problems seriously enough. :-(
I live near Durham NH--about 45 min drive from MA border down Rte 95 or Rte 125. I am close to Dover and Portsmouth and Exeter also. If you can get recommendations of someone in NH it would be better since there's a better chance of insurance covering it (Healthsource). You can respond to my e-mail if you want. I am still waiting to get a # so I can use the insurance I pay for. Thanks
