    That’s fantastic! You are awesome
    The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.

    I'm proud of you. Roughly how much sleep are you getting each night?

    Last night I was asleep by 11, woke twice with nightmares but went back to sleep until 6 this morning.
    That's amazing sleep for me!!

    WOW! That's amazing! I'm so pleased! Sorry about the nightmares though... I saw that in Ireland they are planning on reducing the covid restrictions - does that mean you could have visitors again soon?

    Still not sure about visitors. I think it is more about protecting staff so there isn't a lot having to go off sick and leave everywhere short staffed.

    A lovely friend dropped off a gift to the hospital today, so so kind of her travelling miles to do it.

    Today pregabalin was suggested as an alternative to the prazosin I've been trialled on and having bother with.
    Can people tell me their experiences of pregabalin.... I've heard lots of horror stories but would like an alternative view also.

    I've taken pregabalin for anxiety for around 3 years now, it allows me to function. It's not perfect but things are so much better than they were.

    Pregablin gives me slight brain fog but it’s not at a level I can’t cope with. I was prescribed it for pain but it does help with my anxiety, mostly (I’m not on any additional meds for anxiety). I know others have worse side effects but I’m on 600mg and there’s nothing unbearable for me. My main point is it REALLY let’s you know, within a couple of hours, if you’ve missed a dose……
