On a Roll

I've had two good days.

Thursday:
-In bed 8 hours
-Woke up 4 or 5 times--probably slept 4-5 hours
-Worked all day! Summer school, private students, meetings, etc.

No major problems on Thursday. Very little tingling. No muscle cramps. And it was pretty warm in the school where I worked in the morning.

Friday:
-In bed 7 hours
-Woke up 1 or 2 times
-Worked allll day: 7:30-5:00, with work, driving, etc.

Friday is today. Well, today I've kept cool all day, except walking in and out of places. It's disgustingly hot outside: 103 plus the heat index.

I think I solved my sleep problem. I think I was waking up when I got hot. The thermostat in my new place is retarded (yes, I used the R word... so?), and the difference between setting it for 70 and 71 is about 5 degrees. Last night I made sure it was firmly on the 70, and it was much cooler in here. Fingers crossed that that solves my sleep problem.

I think gabapentin in two smaller doses instead of one larger dose is working well for me. I've had energy to keep going all day. I'm walking normally, most of the time. I think things are pretty good.

I'm just wondering if it's the changed medication dosing or if I just happened to get better. Coincidence? I don't want to change back to the old dosing to find out. I like the way I'm feeling now.
