As I continue my daily activites my body is slowing allowing me more sleep-up to 41 hours since 6/23. I worked the last two days-part time it has been hard. I can feel the stress that this episode has put on my heart. Time for another Muga for sure. My Primary ordered a prescription for Restoril 7.5 mg yesterday; I have yet to take-hoping my body will return to normal on its own. Plus I am afraid of more side effects-dont need to add to the list. I will try one tomorrow as I am off work and can rest at home as I see how my body reacts to this new med. I did sleep 4 hrs lastnight and took 3 hr nap after work. Fresh air and exercise are helping. This has been very scary.I too continue to pray for sleep and normalcy. I am at high risk for Heart Disease from my own family history; I am over-weight, high chloresterol, smoker, etc. now adding Herceptin to my body. Sudden cardiac arrest is always in the back of my mind as I try to go forward. Thank you for continued support. Take Care
