Excellent news, Grav! And re Radar Love, all I can say is, OMG. The song each of us (born within a certain cohort) recalls in a personal way. I had a lot of autonomy in late high school (Canada) and that song resonates.

Making me happy and mildly amusing me...
Minifob has a tough time sleeping, that seems to be getting worse as he gets older. It is a problem both of falling asleep, as well as staying asleep. We have developed a number of habits and routines over the years to try to get him a good night's rest... he listens to NPR (enough background noise to keep him from cycling through his own obsessive thoughts, but not interesting enough to keep him awake,) uses a weighted blanket, wears an eye mask, crunches a cup of ice to let some held-in stress out, and a million other things. None of this shit works, for the record. He's in his room with the lights off by 8:30, but never falls asleep before 10:30, and usually around 4:30 in the morning I hear him get up and turn NPR back on. Even worse, he was on a prescription med for awhile that had him passing the fuck out, which was great, but it had other side effects and we had to stop it. Since then he gets even more frustrated because he remembers how easy it was to fall asleep during that short time, and he literally starts sobbing at his inability to sleep, which doesn't help with that whole, you know, relaxing thing. Anyway. The happy part is, a few days ago we started trying an OTC supplement that is working like gangbusters for him so far. Extra bonus is it's a skin cream instead of a pill, so we get to avoid all the typical worries about digestive side effects. The amusing part is that the stuff works so well, on the second night he took it, he literally fell asleep with his cup of ice still held aloft, and accidentally dumped ice water all over his own face and woke up screaming. We were trying so hard not to laugh at him... And even after cleaning up that catastrophe, he still fell back asleep a few minutes later! Now the only risk is that he'll build up a tolerance and it will stop working. Crossing our fingers... |

A skin cream! That's so cool. I hope it keeps working.

There's nobody to blame, no white whale to focus on, just constant logic resistant medical staff and Insurance companies, who underestimate you. I don't know how you stay on top of it without becoming a straight jacket inhabitant.

This stuff.
It smells funny and doesn't rub in perfectly. Minifob objected to how it felt on his hands (he doesn't have problems with the texture of lotion in general, just this stuff) so I rub it into his back for him, wearing a vinyl glove so I don't steal half the dose. It also ain't cheap, but one bottle lasts two months, and nothing he takes is cheap anyway. |

Cool. That stuff is an analog of Gabapentin, the stuff I take for RLS and sleep. I might try that instead.
That is so great minifob is able to sleep! Not sleeping is awful.
