Crap

[alliecat]

Hey all... its been a while since I've written any posts but I have been at my witts end lately. I never ever ever ever feel good. And the past like week, I've been feeling sick a lot more than what i consider normal for myself... very headachy and tired. I get that kind of tired where you feel drunk or as if you're living in a bubble. And it makes me feel soo out of control. I am not sick, so I don't know what my problem is. I'm getting sofrustrated and Ifeel like Ihave no one. I feel like I'm goingcrazy.But I seriously can't take much more of feeling this way before I seriously am ready to blow my effing brains out. WHAT DO I DO?!?!? I want to have a day without feeling nauseous, without getting a headache, without being tired... without feeling like death walking. What should I do... and why amI feeling like this?! *cries**sobs**cries*

Have you been getting enough sleep? I sometimes feel like I'm not even alive when I am sleep deprived. Maybe you could tr a sleep aid? I sometimes take a benedryl when I can't sleep. It's not habit forming, it's the same ingredient in say like tylonel pm, except without the tylonel, and plus, the bendrly is a anti-emetic.


Another thing, are you stressed about something? Stress will contribute to not feeling well. Maybe you should see a doctor, possibly mono or something else may be going on.


Hope you feel better soon.

You sound like you need a really big hug.


Has something in particular triggered this feeling? Or are you stressed out with another part of your life? I felt the way you described for a while but it turned out to be some medication that i was taking. Have you recently changed any medication? My problem stemmed from changing my contraceptive pill. my hormones went haywire and my body reacted very badly to it. I agree with Michele though, lack of sleep can give you all sorts of symptoms you wouldnt expect.


Hope things start to look up for you soon,

Could it be your sinuses? That's how I feel when mine are being screwy. I don't get the usual congestion and nose blowing crap. With the change in seasons do you think it's a possability? Either that or stress. Take it easy. Hope you feel better.

BENADRYL!!!!


You will sleep great and it will make your N* go away and you will eat and I think you will feel better from all of that. I abuse the Benadryl thing and unless you are pregnant, it won't hurt. great drug for N* and really get some good sleep. Don't take it unless you are ready to sleep.

alliecat, I know how you feel, I went through that for almost a year, where I felt sick more days than not. I had migraines and nausea and constant fatigue all the time.


I started taking Lexapro, an anti-depressant, a little over a month ago and I haven't been sick since. I still get headaches around my period but they are much more manageable. Are you on any meds to help with your anxiety?


Also, question for everyone about benadryl. Can you just buy pure benadryl from the store? I think i've only seen it in cold meds. Or is that what you are talking about? I have a trip to mexico coming up in a week and a half and I think i will be ok, I plan on taking a Xanax...would it be overkill to take Benadryl too?

[bexcelica]

allie... you sound like me everyday. i know that feeling like youre living in a bubble thing. almost like your not really there? like your cloudy headed? i get that when im tired and havent eaten. maybe thats it. i think im bout to try some benadryl

Hey Allie,

Please dont let this freak you out, but there is this weird virus going around my work where you just feel super tired and icky for a couple weeks. The good news is no one has v* from it. Maybe since we are from the same town you have caught a little of that? The people who have had it said the only thing that helped was sleep. It felt like they were on the verge of catching the flu, but never did completely. SO maybe that is all that is going on with you, and you will feel better very soon. It does pass, no one has had it is my office for 2 weeks now.

Take care of yourself and get lots of rest.

jewell, yes, I think it may be a little overkill to take both xanax and benedryl. (lol), but it wouldn't hurt to ask your doctor about it first... just in case

[*mandi*]

Allie..you sound just like me. I feel like total crap every single day and its getting very frustrating and old. I wish there was a day where I could just feel good. Ya know? Maybe youjust need to take a day off and just sleep

[mjewell]

jewell, yes, I think it may be a little overkill to take both xanax and benedryl. (lol), but it wouldn't hurt to ask your doctor about it first... just in case

Thanks Tayda...I think i will just stick with the Xanax, it has always worked in the past for me. I am just real newrvous about a 4 hour flight, I haven't done that for about 10 years...[img]smileys/smilies_10.gif[/img]

Hi Allie....I am going through the exact same thing as you are right now...just sick sick sick all the time...day in and day out...every day nauseas...headache...just feeling like walking death...i cannot for the life of me figure it out...plus i have IBS/D so that just tops it all off...............I can't eat...feel full all the time...have indigestion... heartburn.....stomach pains.....fatigue...chills...the works....and I am too soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo frustrated that I am on the verge of a breakdown here...I finally made the call to my gastro doc. today and i cannot be seen until Dec.13th...but at least i am in and hopefully they can find out what's wrong with me. I look back of pics of me when i was a little girl and i think how sad that that happy little girl now is so miserable and sick all the time...it's not fair...but then i think about the ones who have cancer and worse things than me...and then i feel guilty for being such a baby......so i don't know what to tell you really. It's hard to feel this bad all the time. it sucks so bad........i would do anything to make it go away and if it means having a colonoscopy and endoscopy done...then that's what i am going to do. Have you ever been to a gastro doc...to see if there's anything wrong? Well, all i can say is i feel your pain and i know what you are going through...i wish you the best.

Hey all and thank you for replying and caring. I do have phenergan for nausea, but it doesn't make me tired like it should. Its so annoying. I'm still feeling pretty crappy today. Considering I didn't sleep last night and well, I had a very very very long insane day at work.


Kate, I have been to a gasto doc. I have had tests and stuff, but they find nothing. I know ALL of my physical symptoms are just how my mental crap manifests itself. But its harder to treat than if these were actual physical ailments. I have to attack it from the root of the problem. I just don't know how to do that yet. :-(

Hey Allie. Long time no talk. I'm sorry you are feeling so bad. I know how you feel. It's like you know it "in your head", but you can't make it stop. I have felt like crap the last few weeks, but I know why. My seasonal allergies are in high mode and I have completely weaned myself off of Lexapro.
You need to find something to do that brings you some happiness and takes your mind off of feeling so icky. I think you are definitely sleep deprived. You should get some sleeping pills this weekend and just sleep.I don't know what the weather is like where you are at, but if it is rainy, cold and icky, that could be affecting you too. SUpposedly, going to a taning bed helps with that.
