Anxious Stories

  • I've been scared to death for the last couple of weeks

    Tuesday, March 11, 2008 | An Anxious story

    I feel so badly.  Several people I've reached out to try and talk with me and I have had to ignore them. I haven't ignored anyone because I didn't care,but because I've been very very scared about an upcoming date and a promise I had made to myself.  March 12 would have been my mother's 83rd birthday.  It's also the 4th year since she's been dead.  ...

  • Mom's Surgery

    Wednesday, April 30, 2008 | An Anxious story

    My mom goes into surgery in about an hour.  The procedure is called an oopherectomy, and it should take about an hour and a half.  I'll be back later with updates as I get them.
    UPDATE:  The procedure went smoothly and she's waiting to be discharged!
    UPDATE #2:  Mom and Dad are on their way home . . . (breathing big sigh of relief)

    I have heard nothing from the hospital I applied to - I was so sure they wanted me - the TOLD me they wanted me so much - that it was only the Fentanyl in the urine that bothered them - a clean pee specimen was all they needed - so I went back, after suffering for days - and gave them one that the HR person told me was a good one. Now nothing.
    I watied until a few minutes ago and them callle...

  • Terrifying

    Friday, January 9, 2009

    Yesterday I had one of the most terrifying experiences of my life.  And am not sure how much of it was due to my stupidity.
    It was either a med reaction (Neurontin not mixing with allergy meds) OR an accidental overdose (me taking 3x 300 mgs on Neurontin on an empty stomach which has been OK the few times I have done it before now -- but people in the DBSA group last night reminded me of the ...

  • Strange Phenomena!

    Tuesday, April 21, 2009 | An Anxious story

    I have noticed that, since my Mom's death, every time I go into her old room to pray for her, I start hyperventilating, and I become very short of breath! At first, I thought it was just my imagination, but, now I know that it is not. I'm wondering if it is the way in which she died, and I'm feeling what she did before her death? Sometimes, I become very weak, and I almost feel like I...

  • Cancer? Are you kidding me??!!

    Wednesday, May 6, 2009 | An Anxious story

    I went to the doctors today about having what I thought was sun damage checked and removed, and a few moles. While looking at some areas of my skin they tell me they think most of the brown spots are caused by, get this, "pregnancy." And although I have never been pregnant, all the hormones I use to try and help get us pregnant have now left me with these brown spots (very unattractive ...

  • No - it couldn't be, COULD it ?

    Wednesday, May 6, 2009 | An Anxious story

     
    Thru a chain reaction of: 1) changing symptoms; like from one to 2&3 naps, falling into furniture and door ways, with my quad cane. yet!!   2)Some irratic surfing of the WWW. And. 3)  $25. to the 'Analyst'!    I am now questioning the possibility of both Addison's Disease and Shy-Drager Syndrome, either of which needs much more research and even furt...
