I assume they did a full Thyroid test and you know what your baseline is. Everytime I start falling a sleep while driving, my thyroid is either hyper or hypo.

Since you have so trouble sleeping at night, I assume it is because of the mucous, have you tried putting bricks under the top part bed to elevate it. Also sleeping on your side, should help. They say right to let gas out. I find left is better for me.

Do you know if you have acid reflux? Could this be causing some of the mucous problems? If so, I would try some Maalox Max Lemon at night. Seems to work for me a lot better than all those prescription meds I have been on for the last few years. Only been using that for a few weeks, so long time jury is still out.

I also saw you were complaining about energy level. Are you allowed to take any vitamin supplements or zinc to help promote energy and healing? Maybe time to ask about hyperbaric oxygen treatments.

When do you start speech therapy and go for swallow test? Keep us posted on results.

Those grandkids are depending on ya so let's go out and fight this. Hope you get some quality sleep tonight.

Take care,
Eileen
