((( tacokick))) that’s a lot. I hope it’s something minor and is only the 2 day admit.
Also, I called the place you recommended, and they got me in May 10. I was expecting a months long wait. I was actually doing a two prong approach, and had an appointment with a psychiatrist yesterday that went… less than ideally.
Thanks! I truly can’t tell what’s going on.
And that offices does get people in quickly! I think they know ADHD people need that lol Good luck!
dancingirl21 this all sounds horrible to deal with, I hope you can get some answers soon. Is there a long Covid group near you? They might have some suggestions. Some of my husband’s coworkers are in one (on Facebook) and it’s really been helpful for them.
They're doing lots of road construction along my commute and then working on the parking ramp I use and replacing water lines and historic bricks on the street in front of my building and it's not overly annoying but there is noise all day long. So today is my WFH day and I was looking forward to some quiet but then of course my next door neighbor is having a cement driveway replaced. Of. Course. LOL
But on the plus side the dishwasher repair person is supposed to come today and I can finally be done washing dishes by hand. This has dragged on far too long and I'd really like to have it fixed!
I had my first PT appointment this morning after breaking my elbow last month. It didn't hurt but after the therapist messed with my arm for a while, I started to feel sick and like I might pass out. I ended up having to lay down for a while with a cold cloth.
I am picking up DD early from school because she is having friend problems and I just wanted to give her a break. I'm hoping we can go out to lunch and just have a nice afternoon.
I’ve had this sick feeling when getting a shoulder xray and my son almost threw up/passed out when they took the cast off his arm when he broke it. I wonder what the connection is

I went to the doc yesterday about my sore arm. Turns out it's frozen shoulder. So they gave me a corisone shot and are sending me to PT (along with giving me a pretty cool app to use for at home work). Anyway, I feel like a new woman this morning! I have so much more range of motion, I could hook my bra with pain lol. And I made it through my workout without wincing in pain. Why did I wait 3 months to go in for this?!
Gah, this is a dumb and privileged problem to have but we're getting our house pressure washed tomorrow which takes 3-4 hours. The guy who typically does our mulching every year just comes whenever he has time (he has a FT job), and he usually just gives a day or so notice. Of course he texts to say he wants to come tomorrow afternoon at 3:30. The timing might overlap a bit as the pressure washers are coming anytime between 11-12:30, and I'm not sure if that's OK or not, or how much room the pressure washing equipment takes up. I just texted the pressure washer guy and hopefully he says its NBD. Dammit I just wanted both of these things done. I'm afraid if I delay the mulching it'll be another month.
I'm sorry for everyone going through tough things right now.
I had COVID 2 months ago. Some might remember that I had been dealing with what I think are long COVID symptoms - dizzy/vertigo, heart pounding, anxiety, etc. It got better the end of March/early April, but last week it started really bad again. I was sitting at my grandfather's funeral and felt such a rush to my head and became instantly lightheaded and thought I was going to pass out in a church pew. I didn't, but have felt dizzy and off since. My brother also passed recently and I think that is contributing to me feeling bad.
I saw my doctor on Monday and she thinks there is a good chance I had a sinus infection along with COVID that was never treated and is contributing to the dizziness. I'm on antibiotics and feel maybe slightly better with that. She also prescribed Xanax for when I'm feeling anxious. I took one on Tuesday night and I do think it calmed me down, but then 24 hours later (last night), I felt really terrible. Super jittery, anxious, body was buzzing, insomnia, very horrible intrusive thoughts about how I was probably dying, etc. I sent her a message today asking if this could be the Xanax leaving my body and what else we can try instead. My sister in law said she's on Zoloft and it just takes the edge off a bit. I've never experienced anything like this and wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy. I feel fully unhinged and like I'm having a heart attack every night right now. My doctor ran all the blood work and everything came back normal. I have a follow up appointment in 1.5 weeks and if I don't feel better with the dizziness by then, we start running all the big tests.
I’m sorry you’re struggling. If I may ask, how old are you? A lot of your symptoms can be caused by perimenopause, which, sadly, most doctors miss. A lot of women are prescribed anti anxiety or anti depressant meds which will not help and can make things worse.

DS came home from school yesterday feeling terribly. He has a fever so he’s home today. I started feeling poorly in the middle of the night and woke up to a fever, too. Tomorrow is DD’s birthday. 😭😭 This is terrible timing.

Yeah, but they still said it would take 2-3 months total. The guy yesterday did give me something that may help, but not a stimulant (Wellbutrin). And I’m kind of handwringing on if I should start it or wait. I was really not expecting to get in so soon.

The loser I live with that I occasionally complain about here apparently lurks and has read my posts. So I either don't complain or I change my name. Watch for my new name
I had a panic attack last night so I didn't sleep well, all over a work party. No one told me spouses were invited even though I'm the one planning the event, but everyone else assumed I knew spouses were invited. I found out as I was leaving work yesterday. The party is today. My guest count doubled. Talk about scrambling.
I'm having an awful week. I think the stress of DD2's allergy treatment is getting to me. I'm feeling overwhelmed and getting set off by any little thing that goes wrong. I made a new recipe for dinner last night and it looked like it wasn't working out and I got frustrated and yelled at my kids. It ended up being fine so why I am losing it over stupid shit? I just spilled something in the fridge and it makes me want to go crawl back into bed. It is not a big deal, it wasn't even that bad to clean up (although now I smell like soy sauce and it is really bugging me). Is this a lack of resilience or something? We have SO much going on in the next month and I'm so overwhelmed. There is no time for a break, people just keep piling more stuff on my list/calendar. I really hate that this time of year is so crazy. My birthday is in 2 weeks and it always feels like an afterthought because we are all so busy with kid activities, end of year stuff, other birthdays (DD1's is a week later), etc, etc. It feels so unfair.
Hugs to everyone struggling and good luck to your DH, followyourarrow !
dancingirl21 , does it sound like this "Some individuals with long COVID manifest symptoms that they describe as internal tremors and vibrations"? That is a symptom of long covid, along with racing heart.
I'm trying to decide if I want to go to the City Council Budget Meeting or my lifting class tonight. One will be immediately painful and the other will cause pain for days...

Wellbutrin doesn't have to be weaned off, so you can start it and just stop if it doesn't seem to be doing anything. I would give it a few weeks to kick in before stopping, though.
Bad Dingo, I'm sure you didn't read the whole thread but someone upthread specifically mentioned that that meme is hard for her to see every year so you may want to take it out of this thread!
There are so many shitty things going on for folks this week, I don't want to tag everyone but if you are struggling right now, I'm thinking of you. I hope next week is better for everyone!

I'm so sorry, I don't know how I missed that, thanks for the heads up!! <3 hugs to whomever I may have hurt.

Someone else in this thread mentioned that this particular meme is hurtful to them. I wasn't sure if you saw it and would maybe want to delete the meme part of your post.
This week has been so slow at work and I'm very bored! Looking for things to do but not finding much and most of the office is out today. I've worked here since Aug and it seems to be feast or famine here. The last two weeks were super busy so I guess some boring weeks are okay lol At least Fri is a WFH day and I'll just monitor email and do what I want at home.
I don’t think it’s a lack of resilience! I think it’s common when we get overwhelmed to get clumsy. We can’t do everything at once. You have a ton going on and even if some is going okay, it’s still a lot!

I’m part of the Facebook group. I read a lot on it and my symptoms are similar to others there. I was feeling so much better a few weeks ago and now pretty terrible again.

I’m 41. I have considered that as well, but I’m pretty convinced it’s long Covid just based on timing. I didn’t feel like this at all prior to getting it.

Yes, I have had internal vibrations and tremors. It’s the weirdest, most uncomfortable sensation. My heart doesn’t race, but pounds hard and I am very aware of my heartbeat, especially at night. I just feel off.
