How many experience this? Is there anything I can do? I could take a nap every single day for hours and still be able to go to bed just fine at night. I take valium 2mg 3x daily so I wonder how much that contributes to me having no energy. I try to remember what it was like before the valium but I think I was tired then too because I had two big episodes of severe vertigo within 6 months of each other and between times I would have slight dizzy spells here and there. I do remember feeling better after I started treatment because I was getting outside and walking sometimes jogging! Now I don't want to do anything. Cook, clean, laundry...nothing! Not even shop! Don't get me wrong. I have good days where I'm like superwoman. I'll do 5 loads of laundry and clean up around the house...never happens on a weekend though. So I wonder...have I let myself just get lazy?? Again though, I can go to sleep anytime, anywhere with the tv blaring or the lights on....doesn't matter. That was NEVER me before. I was actually taking something to help me go to sleep at night but then I didn't really need it after the valium. I know it frustrates my husband and it frustrates me! How I wish I could go back to those days of being so active...after I started treatment I gained 10lbs. Unsure why because I had practically already been laid up for over 6 months...you would have thought that is when I would have gained weight. Maybe just age too though...I'll be 37 in July...I know everything starts slowing down and probably doesn't help that I'm slow as it is! On a side note I lost all hearing (nerves are totally dead) in my right ear and have constant tinnitus in it. Cutting out caffeine and these drops I take have drastically lowered the volume though. Also I'm now experiencing terrible headaches that include temple, ear, and sometimes cheek or neck pain. I start some physical therapy on Monday to see if they can teach me some techniques to keep my facial muscles relaxed and such. A specialist thinks I'm clenching my teeth at night. There is nothing structurally wrong with my jaw/teeth though...no misalignment. I had a 3D Panoramic Xray done and was checked over thoroughly. He thinks I have TMD...seems to be a big link between it and MD.
