Data Posted July 21, 2012 Report Share Posted July 21, 2012 Last night I had my first alcohol and medication free night in years. I slept from about 1am-6.30am completely undrugged and sober . Also I went to the hospital yesterday and apparently the results from my CPAP treatment are excellent. I have to wear a breathing mask at night because of my sleep apnoea. But the technician said the results are the best she has ever seen! So I am not in danger of losing my driving licence. Because I've been less tired in the day, I am more positive and my work is coming on really well . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Data Posted July 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2012 Thanks OrangeLamp! Also I'd like to add that its ok by the doctor for me to discontinue my medication - because the prescription just says "take up to 6 tablets a day". I have been weaning myself off it for some time using my tablet cutter, and it looks like it is working. I will see how I go but I might take 1/2 tablet every alternate day for a week, just to help my body get used to it. And the weather is sunny this weekend also . That means I get to go on one of my countryside walks. Here's a photo of me having some fresh air a couple of weeks ago! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Data Posted July 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2012 Thanks Tray . I still have a box of tablets in my drawer so I have the comfort of knowing that if I have a bad night (like I had 2 days ago), that I can take 1-2 tablets before bed and I'll sleep calmly. But, I am hoping that will only be on rare occasions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
