two weeks post-op and severe insomnia.

The last two nights have been miserable for me. I cannot sleep and at is driving me crazy. My eyes get tired and my body is tired, but there is something inside of me that is just not shutting off and going to sleep. I feel like this has to coincide with my transition to full liquids, which also happened two days ago. I lay here and my whole body feels agitated. My legs are restless, I have little pins and needles here and there. Not the kind that you get when a body part has gone to sleep, but... I don't know how to describe them. Just these little annoyances here and there on my body that make me fidget, scratch, and just want to scream my bloody head off. Twice now I have had a mini temper tantrum out of sheer frustration where I just throw the cover off and flail my legs like a two year old not getting her way. I was up all of night before last, finally fell asleep after dawn and woke up 30 effing minutes later. I did get some more fitful and interrupted sleep after that for a while. I have been up all night tonight, Not one minute of sleep. I do have medicine I can take, and I guess I'm going to have to. I just haven't because between all of my regular medications and my vitamins, I feel like I'm taking something every 5 minutes, and these protein shakes are making me feel so full that it is just work trying to get everything in. I have two things on hand I can take. One is a prescription, and it leaves me so incredibly groggy all day that I'm useless. The other is Tylenol PM, and I just haven't done the research to make sure it's okay to take it. I'm pretty sure it is, so I'm about to just take it and sleep all morning. I'm really wondering if it's something in the Premier protein drink kicking up the restless leg syndrome. It's seriously about to make me kick a wall in frustration. Thanks for listening. x[
