I did not go into work today as I have been feeling it a bit. This condition sends me sleepy very suddenly and quickly, and by the time I realize something is wrong, I am already well on my way to shutting my eyes and well, I’ll say falling asleep, though it is almost passing out. Since I have found myself barely keeping it together while driving, leaving a store, then falling unconscious while going to the delivery location. I have stayed home today for safety, hoping that I can get results figured out and get what I need to move one and get back to work, be it surgery or medication, or whatever. But the PA handling my case turs out to be out of office today. She may have told me this would happen, but I don’t remember, so I will be patient.
The assistant called to let me know that a doctor has reviewed my case, and that the PA will be calling me tomorrow and going over some things with me.
The feeling is best described as a general discomfort in my arms and neck and head. This is more mild in places like my legs, but I feel antsy there. The higher up on me, the more it feels like things are just wrong. It is not a lot of pain, though it is a mild one. And it is not a pain like muscle soreness, though that is about as close to this as I can explain it, as it is a generalized discomfort. Top this off with the feeling that I want to jump up and go do something just to sort of defeat this, but sense tells me that is unwise and will result in some sort of terrible accident due to the grogginess that comes on.
I have eaten not too long ago, and even now, I am feeling the grog coming on, and I keep closing my eyes and nearly falling asleep. So that’s good. My old friend has not left me.
And so now I have done it a short spell, and woke up with an irritation I think at my Uvula. To sleep, or get food? That is the question!
And again. Wow. This is crazy. All I need to do is keep it together till tomorrow, and then see what is up then. The aftertaste of the coffee I am drinking is so strong in my throat.
I will say that the tiredness and needing to eat have been since Sunday. Monday they were worse. Tuesday, I managed my diet better. Today it is changed again, and while I am trying to manage things better, I am definitely still fatigued and now with taste issues. Brain Fog has also been present since Sunday. See? I forgot to mention that. I have had constipation and intestinal problems for a week or two before Sunday. There is a dull pain in my head, too. That has also been present since Sunday. I have a slight discomfort in my chest, too.
These are a few of my favorite things!!
Brain fogging now. I am going to go try to fix something up with this, though I don’t know what.
