I mentioned I was always tired and falling asleep... he thought I might have it, but apparerlently I dont... not sure how he told, he sort of looked at me, did something with his fingers in front of my eyes and said "nah you aint got it" weird ! |
I know no one likes taking advice, but I saw a good friend of mine go downhill QUICK with his diabetes. He would take insulin but would also eat like shit and drink like a loon. Didn't see him for about a year and came back to find him looking like shit. He had to get an insulin device attached to him and has to wear these leg sock things that increase his circulation in his legs.
He is 28 (maybe 29 now) and the doctor told him he will probably lose both his legs in the next 5 years. Before, his doctor told him he would be just fine and live a good life... just be careful man
There is also a condition (can't remember the name off hand) where you can not get into REM sleep long enough and keep going between stage 3/4 to 2. Without being in stage 3 or 4 for long periods of time, you body will be exhausted... and therefore your mind as well.
A common thing you will notice is the fear of "falling" that jolts you awake. Most people get this when they are really tired but if you wake up with this often, it is a pretty sure sign. You can take medication but its bets to try some anti-anxiety pill first to see if that helps
