Dear Diary: My New Discovery Made Me Sleep Longer

The Discovery

Last night I decided to sleep and I did had some restful sleep, it made me feel good today as it made my small pains go away like pain in the neck and such. But what is amazing is that it quite improved my intermittent sleep issue and it is just amazing.

So what I had discovered was if you are sleeping with a shade over your head or maybe more preferably a total darkness then you will sleep for longer. So it is such a very wonderful discovery.

The Dream Of Frustration

I even dreamed about going to school, maybe I had that dream because I am frustrated about going to school. I abruptly stopped going to my College because of what I was feeling with my body those days as my Kidney disease progressed and it affected my cognitive skills already because of anemia.

The Story

So I decided with a sad heart to stop and wait and basically putting my head under the sand trying to escape from reality. I didn't get better and my condition was made worse by not really being able to get a good treatment because the Nephrologist said that I can never be treated as my case will just recur if I did get a transplant plus more painfully the fact that I have hepatitis they said that I cannot also get the treatment because it is in their protocol.

Then I saw my laboratory results over time gets uglier, again we stopped going to the doctor in the Kidney Center in Manila because I am just being prescribed with antihypertensives and vitamins. Then after a few years my condition worsened and I had my first dialysis in December 2001. That is another chapter in my new life as a dialysis patient.
