I have been suffering really badly with exhaustion, I often have to put my head on my desk and have a 5 min snooze. Its not a gradual tirdness, its like being knocked with a sledgehammer. And as for my yawning, I sound like an old man (Im 55, female) Its noisy, long and multiple, yawn going into another going into another. I swear My jaw is going to break shortle.
My OH amd I love dancing, I just cant do it anymore, 2 mins and I have to sit down, : (
I had a 90 min drive yesterday that took me nearly 3 hours, I had to stop twice and sleep at the side of the road.
Today I went to work and drove one street away and phoned in sick, I am just soo tired. I was in the big smoke last week and instead of shopping (which used to be my dearest obsession) I had breakfast in the hotel and went back to bed till lunchtime till I could leave for my train.
I went to see my GP this afternoon and he said I have to take my meds (Diclofenac and co-codamol) regularly , not just when I feel I need them, and he also prescribed amitriptyline to try and allow me some sleep.
He was trying to get me to say Im stressed at work (very stressful occupation), but Im sure thats not the reason for this feeling.
The only stress I have is getting a diagnosis, and treatment.
My latest ‘symptom’ is itching palms, its driving me nuts, my feet and elbows are itching too but not as bad as my hands. I have scratched between two toes so badly that there is no skin left and its very painful, Im scared that the same thing happenes with my palms.
Oh and my typing is getting really bad just as an added extra ;- )
I have my Neuro appointment on the 14th of Dec, it would be great if he/she could give me some ideas before xmas. I have only told my husband so far about what I am going through, everyone else has just seen me getting more and more cripple and dont ask about it.
God I sound really depressing, Im not really, its just hard going though this with no support.
Thanks for listening to my moans.
