The Comeback Tour II - KB's new journal

[KillahBee]

Update: my back/glute/nerves were REAL bad lastnight. I have no idea why. towards the end of the work day (when it's always a little rough), it was worse than it has been since I injured it. If I stood up it would take a minute before I could walk without limping with nerves all over the place. not sure why - the only thing I have done differently recently was the plyometrics stuff on Tues night but it was REAL short and light. hoping this goes away.

Yah got my results back Friday.. They really are stumped. I have been seeing the neurologist for exactly a year.

He compared my sleep studies before I was taking Ritalin to now and my levels of deep sleep have actually improved but are 75% below that of what are consider normal. He would love to say that the Ritalin is the cause of me not sleeping but seeing as my sleep has actually improved. (Scary huh) it’s not the case.

I don’t have apnea and I don’t have restless leg disorders, no signs of manic depression either- that are often causes of insomnia.

I slept for 4 hours and 23 minutes and woke up 27 times. Took me 3 hours to actually reach deep sleep at all.

The only answer is too taking more drugs. Something I am not willing to do. T o sleep right now I have to take 10mg of imovane a heavy prescriptive sleeping pill and in order to take breaks I take neocitron for a week every 3 weeks.

I also take melontin.

I have had sleep problems since childhood, my mind just doesn’t turn off – My doctor is one of the best in the city so I have total confidence in his skills and I have seen others who have misdiagnosed me..

The whole ADHd diagnosis has improved my work life. Because of the Ritalin.. I can be as successful as I want to be now.. because I can actually get everything done

Although I would love to sleep more than 4 hours a night.. I guess it’s not in the cards for me..

Klonopin will knock you the fuck out. Try some of that. I took that to help me get sleep. I would see how long I could make it before I feel asleep. Only about 30 mins.

OK well since you had to travel twice in the last 2 weeks, I'll let your slacking slide, but now it's back to business baby!!!!!

I am soooo glad I won't be travelling very much anymore. I've been in the gym for three straight weeks now(which is the best streak since august) and I feel so much better than I have been. I did tweak my back trying to go too heavy too soon but should be fine in a couple more days.

Anyways keep up the good work, and lots of it.

Cheers,

thanks ender, 24k and scots. been a tough few weeks with cross country flights and a lady in my life that stayed here almost ever night, making it impossible for me to get up at 5 and hit the gym. but the lady is gone and the travel is something I will always have to deal with.

Sat, 3/4:

45 min on bike , L6 hill

Gonna finally purchase my road bike today or tomorrow and start training hard with the goal of riding a century by the fall. gonna also do as many charity rides this summer as possible.
