I feel so ill I feel like crying and I cant even go and see my doctor I just rang to try and get an appointment and you have to ring up at 8:30 on the morning to get an appointment for that day or else book it 4 weeks in advance!! The thing is I work most days so its hard to try and fit it around that and working is unbearable at the moment cos of the pain I am in and how exhausted I feel, both mentally and physically
I have been suffering with unbelieavably achy head neck and shoulder muscles for weeks now, sometimes its just a constant ache, othertimes I get achy twinges and other times I get sharp shooting pains up my scalp from my neck muscles, my scalp feels incredibly sensitive and I have been getting headaches pretty much every day, at the moment I also seem to have some sort of congestion/sinus pain, my ears are crackling, and sore and my face hurts, especially when I lean forward to pick something up, I get a rush of a headache, I get in the shower and it loosens a little bit but it is so painful and so uncomfortable, also lately I have had difficulty sleeping, I go to bed late (2-3ish) when I do get to sleep its a bad sleep and I wake up feeling stiff and achy as ever.. last night I went to sleep at around 3:30 and slept until 2:30 ish this afternoon feeling like I need a really long sleep.. I may as well have not slept at all I feel even more achy than I have done and my head is banging... also my chest often feels really tight like i need to make a concious effort to get enough oxygen in sometimes, but sometimes anxiety does that to me, makes me tense up really badly and my breathing becomes really shallow, but what if its not just anxiety? sometimes when talking to a customer i have to pause for a moment to gather some breath to say what i need to...
I just feel so so run down and exhausted, I suffer with bad anxiety anyway but with all this I have been getting it really badly every single day which is just creating a vicious circle...
I have so much to do... I work 4 days a week, in a store so im on my feet all day and its so stuffy in there, then i also have a little online business making and selling things and so i have to do stuff for that, i also have a stack of things that i need to do at home and i dont seem to be getting much done at all because all this holds me back, but the stress of not getting stuff done probably contributes to it all.. its totally counter productive, im only 25 and i feel about 100, i just wanna go and see the doctor and just do something about it, i have no idea whats wrong with me and am worrying it could be something really bad :-S
Hi Laura,
I am sorry to see you are not feeling well. Sounds like you have a lot going on with work etc, and than not to feel well. Are you planning on going to the doctor? Do you have health coverage now? I feel so bad.
I posted to you the other day but I don't know if you saw it. I posted to your CSF leak post.
I haven't been doing that well either, hence I am still on healtboards. Now warm weather is here, and my allergies are going nuts. I am constantly stuffed up but have been taking a daily dose of Zyrtec which really helps me. I haven't had a headache, but I have weird sinus feelings and pressure, and am extremely tired. The Zyrtec helps, but if I don't take it my eyes start getting weird and the sinus feelings start up. I can't take it.
I am sorry you are not feeling good.
