After not being able to sleep thru the night, I probably didn't fall back to sleep until after 4am, so I'm usually still asleep. If up - very groggy

Updated Bio

I consider myself very lucky, as I have only had about 5 flare-ups in about 33 years! Back then we were told that there was nothing we could do for it, so I went on with my life and forgot about it. I have even been to new doctors and forgot to mention it! I have raised 2 sons while mostly working fulltime. I have never had alot of energy, couldn't run, had occasional falls, and walked a little strange at times, but didn't think much of it. Then 4 years ago I fell at work and broke my wrist. Two weeks later I woke up with double vision. MRI confirmed what they had told me back
