Urgh!
I am so TIRED. I have been so tired that my eyelids are actually drooping and closing of their own accord.
I believe that perhaps a little natural drowsiness from my body's response to the LDN is being compounded by the sleep issues. Last night I was unable to get to sleep until maybe 2.30-3.00 a.m. and I awoke at 7 to take Nature-Throid, then went back to sleep and was awoken properly at 9.10 a.m.
The night before was DELICIOUS... because I slept so well for a nice 6 hour chunk. I really hope that with time I will be getting more chunky sleep nights and less insomnia/fitful ones.
In good news, I still feel way better in the mental health area...
I feel LESS ANXIOUS! Yay! This is pretty amazing, as since AI thyroid issues, I have really struggled with bouts of anxiety that seem to be linked to some kind of cortisol/adrenaline misfiring. I also still feel less apathetic and yesterday/today I actually experienced:
JOY and OPTIMISM...
I was reading the Quarter Life Crisis forum yesterday, and instead of it triggering me, I felt quite calm. I felt there was some hope for me and my life.

1.5mg
I upped my dose to 1.5mg of LDN on Saturday night and braced myself. It was fine... I didn't get any nausea or headache reaction, which highly amazed me given my reaction to lower doses. Of course I was very pleased.
I do seem to have picked up a stomach bug, which has given me a headache and nausea yesterday and nausea today. Other members of my family have it too.
My sleep is still erratic; it follows a pattern of something like 2 nights poor sleep and 1 night of better sleep. On the night with better sleep, I seem to get something like 6 hours of straight sleep. This is still not a lot, but it is far better than never getting a chunk of sleep.
One thing I have noticed is that I am very tired. I feel very sleepy! In the morning, I am able to get up - even a bit earlier than pre-LDN - but after breakfast I feel very sleepy. I also feel like that late afternoon and in the evening. It reminds me a little of how I felt when I was on Tegretol, but without the intense brain fog. My mind feels slow, yet clear and I just want to close my eyes and nap. I don't actually totally mind this if I can rest, but it it is inconvenient and annoying when I have to do things!
