Having ladytabitha, mactavish, deyo, and shanex visiting makes for a complete lack of 'hey! You should be tired and go to bed!' sleep signals for a wispfox. Much amusement and niftiness and death by giggles and terrible puns, not so much with the sufficient sleep. (and yay for actually spending time with mactavish this time! ;)

I am, according to the sleep doc, one of those rare people (she hasn't seen another true case of this in 6 years, apparently) who have 'Idiopathic Insomnia', otherwise known as sleep difficulty which has no known cause but is something which is lifelong. And, with significant worstening of symptoms in winter due to the seasonal crap. Since I don't want drugs, there's not much to be done, although I fascinated her to the point of her thinking I should be in some sort of a study relating to circadian rhythms, in the wintertime. My goal in life really _isn't_ to fascinate the medical community. Ah, well. ;)

Tonight, cleaning of the old apartment, and then I'm _done_ with the moving part of moving, and can get to the settling in and the stopping of having my brain being all moving-focused!

My goal in life really _isn't_ to fascinate the medical community.

*nods* My two least favorite things to hear from my neurologist:

1. "Well, that's strange."
2. "Let's try this and see what happens."

Yeah, I can _so_ see those as being unpleasant to hear!

Thankfully, though, all my various 'my neurology is strange' things are not bad enough to force me to modify my life (well, more than I already do, being as most have been with me most or all of my life).

My rheumatologist says, "Mary, you're a puzzle." I almost trust him more for this.

I'm not near so confident in my neuro! *laugh* I think it's because I feel that she doesn't see me as an interesting puzzle to be worked out so much as she sees me as a fly in the mayonnaise... she seems to be very much a one-solution-SHOULD-fit-all person, and I'm a walking anomaly.

When I move to Boston, I shall have a new neurologist. *firm nod*

(My condition itself isn't anomalous - textbook temporal lobe epilepsy. My body's reactions to anti-seizure medications, though... that's... interesting.)
