A Funny Thing Happened To My Body
Ok, so I am so fed up with this illness! When I can't stand the symptoms anymore, if I'm around other people I usually become quite aggressive with my humour. I've told a few folks it's because I'm on the verge of a nervous breakdown.!
Finally got rid of a scary gastritis episode (2months in bed, writhing in pain,couldn't eat hardly anything)
Being so relieved I started getting used to the remission, but guess what?? Now I have tremors in my legs, pelvis and chest. Absolute burning POUNDING chest, weakness. I can't believe that's the end of my symptom list, I feel like I'm dying!
Yes, I have to admit the face and head pain is gone. (it's like "Thankyou God for the symptoms I DON'T have today!!
On second thought I do have more symptoms to report! Terrible POTS postural stuff . Feels like my head and chest will explode if I lean back in a chair or go to bed. It usually builds up over 5 min in winter, right away in summer.
I know what you're thinking!(Spooky aren't I. ?) I should check out the DS Pots site. WELL IM TOO DAMN TIRED!!
In all seriousity I have checked it. Not many current updates. Is it possible to breathe a little before always having to,deal with THESE DAMN SYMPTOMS!!
If you made it this far, have a good day. Think I'll jump off my balcony now.

I am so sorry that I am smiling, Pouty! Your last sentence about jumping off the balcony! I\'m always saying that to my husband. Just when one thing ends, and you think, PHEWWWW glad THAT\'S gone, some other stupid, maybe even MORE horrific symptom comes. Usually in the middle of the night. Wakes you up and scares you to death and you don\'t know if you should call and ambulance or a shrink......so you do nothing. I hear ya! I got over the going to the ER thing in year 3! I just got tired of going, and having to refuse all the meds they offer me, because I\'m intolerant. So, now, I just deal with it. Ninety percent of this stuff goes away! It returns again, when least expected....and it\'s annoying to say the least, and often very painful, but they NEVER find anything wrong with me in the doctor\'s office. They don\'t accuse me of making stuff up nor do they give me the \"it\'s all in your head\" speech. They know I\'m hurting. They just don\'t know why. I make a follow up appointment and by then, the stupid symptom is gone!
RIDICULOUS. I don\'t have a balcony. Figures, right?
LOL....hang in. We\'re all in this together!!
Glad the stomach simmered down.....for a while.......!! xoxo
Pouty, I am glad the gastritis episodes have quit & you felt somewhat better. Sorry for the problems you are having now. It is like get over one thing & then here comes another sometimes. I get really tired of it too. Keep us posted on how you are doing. Soft & gentle hugs going your way, Denise
