Ive got prostititus.
For those that dont know, its a bacteriological infection of the prostate causing it to swell. About the only symptom I have is painless but frequent urination (painful urination is the norm for most folks). Okay, got THAT outta the way. Ive had this crap for about six weeks now. Have to get up and pee three or four times a night. That sucks. Taking a antibiotic that should knock it out sometime soon . . . I hope. In the meantime, lack of a good nights sleep is starting to get to me. More of an emotional issue rather than physical as Im not really tired during the day but it really pisses me off (pun alert!) that I get up so often during the night. I had this last year while I was a student pilot and was given some medication that allowed me to sleep all night. I cant remember what the medication was but I havent bothered to ask my doctor to prescribe it again cause I know damn well it wont be the FAA approved (I remember one of the side effects, though I didnt experience it, was dizziness. The FAA would frown on that, Im sure). Its getting to the point where Im considering grounding myself and taking the sleep medicine. Before I do that, anyone out there had this problem and was prescribed something that allowed you to sleep all night yet FAA approved? -- Jim Fisher North Alabama Cherokee 180 http://www.stephenames.com/flying/pipers/pipers5.html |
