Every body reacts differently to being invaded and having a forgein object implanted.

It might also be medications that are affecting you....

Hi Gordon.. Sleep Issue

Hi Gordon,

Its not having a object in your body... Before my PM, everyone " Drs " were willing to help.. Now i have the the " thing" as I call her.. Is my Vaso Vagle gone yes.. but I feel like crap most of the time.. No I am not depressed , No I could care less what is in me as along as it works.

I have always been a very deep sleeper , the old saying " sleep like the dead" well not to far off , lol... I was like in total hibernation, Ps I am 58 years young.. was doing P90X before PM with all sorts of health issues..

Then I got my little new friend ... First the settings HR were at 70... I was like on 4 cups of coffee , after yelling for 4 months and no sleep .... they put it to 60.... The issue for me is now when I briefly wake up I am like at 75 in a nano sec and I am wide awake , this goes on all night since implanted..

Hence I am totally sleep deprived and Its been over a year so now my body is just use to waking up all the time and napping... I can tell you it a flipping setting that I am sure can be fixed If you can actually find a DR willing to spend the time to work with you on the settings..

I have yet to fond one, My beloved DR just looks at me like I dropped in from outer space... .. If i workout I need a nap.. and so on... Its BULL******it ...

so in saying that ... Its not in your head.. its not PTSD for having a " OBJECT " put in you ... I have read thousands of complaints like this .......

I hope you get lucky.. dont give up , I am not I will find the right person to get this puppy tuned up If I have to drive to alaska..

Best
Cynthia
