Synthroid Diaries: Day three

Day three: Today, I think I started to notice some actual, non-imaginary, side effects. I didn't sleep well at all last night, I kept waking up every hour and a half, like clockwork. It's not unusual for me to wake up a couple of times in a night, but this was out of control. My mind was racing, and I was mentally replaying some details of a meeting I had yesterday. It was odd because it reminded me of some of the sleep problems I had before I had William. It used to be that I would wake up in the middle of the night and obsess about the latest crisis going on at the theatre, or think of something I just absolutely had to write down, or run my lines in my head, but I haven't experienced that in a very long time. When I go to sleep, I sleep, or even when I wake up my mind is in a totally different place from work, a dreamy place, a place that I quite frankly have enjoyed. Not having that full on 24/7 cognition has been a real relief. Even though I am tired all day, I can always count on sleeping like a log. I really hope that this isn't a permanent thing. I will be really bummed if it is. I guess we'll see how it goes tonight.
