Medication Woes + My indoor garden

Ugh I am so tired writing this. I am not sleeping well at all. I am not sure if it is the medication or what. I just wake up a million times in the middle of the night. I am tossing and turning like crazy too. I am falling pretty much right back to sleep most of the time but it is annoying. And I keep waking up around 4am and then not being able to fall right back to sleep at that time. Then when I do fall back to sleep I oversleep and don't get up till like 10.

I kindof am on a love/hate feeling with the meds. There is like this window where you are not sure if they are working or not. I find myself constantly questioning if I feel happier, better, less crazy? lol Idk...I think I am just waiting for a magical switch to flip and everything to feel different. But perhaps it won't, right now with me being on such a low dose. I am irritable as hell for sure. But I feel like crap and am not sleeping well so... it is just not easy to tell.

But the worst medication woe is coming from the metformin. I forgot how sick it makes me feel. My stomach is just screaming at me. I am very nauseated. All day long I feel sick like I am going to throw up if I move. Which makes exercise pretty much impossible, also moving, or doing pretty much anything lol. I keep telling myself that it is only temporary but it sucks so much. 

The only upside is that I have less appetite because I feel so sick lol

Testing my blood sugar sucks. Everytime I line the lancet up to my finger to prick I get this moment of hesitation. It doesn't really even hurt usually. Sometimes it is like nothing but it still is just so difficult lol. I am weird. My numbers are godly high. I am only testing my fasting right this moment. It started off at 270 and now that I am taking meds it has slowly gone down everyday. This morning it was 214. Still so high. How am I not dead?


On a happier front my indoor garden is taking off! I have life! Muahahahaha! I am growing catnip & peppers from seeds. Then I used kitchen scraps to grow green onions & lettuce. You just buy green onion/lettuce and cut off the part you are going to use then put the bottom in a bowl of water. Change the water everyday and it will regrow. Like magic! lol
