Daytime nap

Hi Andy,
Thanks for these comments. It’s a good point you make about cortisol. About 15 years ago I took one of those saliva tests which measured waking cortisol etc and it revealed that I had sluggish adrenal glands and cortisol imbalances. So that’s probably got ā€˜worse’ in the subsequent years. I toyed with the idea that I had chronic fatigue syndrome and maybe I do, but I’ve just decided to live as I am. I’m 53 now and don’t really need to engage fully in ā€˜normal’ life anymore. I’m a bit of a vampire and certainly a maverick. Thanks again, Anthony

Alright Ant,

I’m sure we all have low cortisol levels so that doesn’t surprise me. If you enjoy what you are doing then keep doing it but don’t wright yourself off as 53 is still relatively young!

Instead of soaps at night check out Line Of Duty if you haven’t already :+1:t2:

Great discussion! Since VM I have a 2-hour nap about once or twice a week. I am either so tired that there is nothing else I can do or I start to get dizzy, then a nap usually stops this and I wake up feeling ā€œnormal againā€.

Any chance that tiredness is a Pizotifen side effect? Or is it a question if:

ā€œPacingā€ method. Required.

Could be. It was certainly a problem when I was on 2.0 mg of pizotifen. Now that I am only on 1.5 mg it seems to be less of a problem. Pacing is a good point as well. I tend to overdo it when I am feeling well :grinning:
