What the Heck Is Wrong With Me??? Posted: 07-08-05 11:22am
I am convinced that something may be wrong
with me. First of all, I am not a
hypochondriac or anything like that. I
have just a lot of odd things going on
with me almost daily. First of all,
everyday I suffer from deep sleepiness.
Some days I cannot control my drowsiness.
I just want to sleep. I could be at work,
I could be doing something fun, driving,
anything and sometimes I just nod off so
quick and I usually awake with a jolt. It
seems like I go into a really deep sleep
and jolt back up within minutes. This is
starting to concern me. I find myself at
work sometimes just barely hanging on to
conciousness by the skin of my teeth. I
am worried I am going get in trouble or
something. Another thing that happens on
a daily basis is migraines. I have them
almost daily and when I take midrin or
maxalt they most of the time don't work.
I can go to sleep with a migraine and wake
up in the morning with the same one. I
also suffer from tingling in my feet, not
like a loss of circulation or like when
your feet fall asleep. It's a different
tingling. And it happens in a small area
of the foot about the size of a fifty cent
piece. Last but not least, I am freezing
all day long. Even with a sweater on and
it just drives me nuts. The other
medications I take are zoloft, nexium, and
ortho-tricyclen. The zoloft dosage has
changed many times since december. I have
gone from 50 mg to 75 mg and now down to
25. The reason is that I was almost
lethargic on 75 mg. I could not be roused
in the morning and it was interfering with
my life. Now I am able to get up but I
suffer throughout the day. Any
suggestions or ideas would be awesome.
Thanks and god bless.

Problems? Posted: 07-08-05 14:20pm
Geesh those are some messed up problems.
Well....I'm not a doctor or anything but
i've been told from my gyno that sometimes
birth control and make you always tired.
But not to where you nod of so quick. If
I was you I would go to the doc and tell
him everything and make sure you figure
out with is going on with you. Also,
birth control can cause blood clots in
your legs and maybe you should get checked
for that.
I'm not sure. I hope I could have kinda
helped. If you need someone to talk to pm
me.
Good luck. Keep me posted.
