Sleeping

has become a daunting task these days.
I've had restless leg syndrome since before they knew what it was. I went to the doctor, he told me that it might be our matress, to take 2 aleve half an hour before I go to bed or that I could be anemic. He did bloodtests and everything was fine. So, I basically think he thought I was crazy.
A year later, I see a commercial on tv explaining everything that I go through every night. Then, we didnt have enough money to pay for the perscription or doctors visit so I just dealt with it, thinking that maybe it would just get better. Now this last week, it has been sooo bad. I haven't been able to get to sleep before 2:30/3 am and then I was up at 9 and am exhausted.
Now, again, we dont have the money to spare on the perscription or the doctor's appointment. So I'm left with just being exhausted all the time.

The past 2 nights, when I have gotten to sleep eventually, I've been having dreams about my brother. He isn't around and hasn't really been my entire life. But for some reason he's been in my dreams. The first night, he was this caring older brother that was listening to my baby and life problems and was very sweet about everything. Then last night, he came to visit me at work and was playing with all the kids. It was really strange.
