I had an episode where I laid down at work and I was asked , "What does your family do, when you do that at home".

My reply.

"Step over me".

if your interested and have some time!

yep, very cool!

how did it go?

fill us in!

that was lovely!

sorry, I thought the problem was with swallowing.A search of the subject " Neuropathy " does show dietary causes, considering what you just wrote, it seems quite likely your diet is deficent. Other vitamins are mentioned re neuropathy also.

Think you could get shots or IV?

Don't you want to see if you respond? I sure would.

you can get D in liquid form.

the sorting out is difficult to endure paitently- but you'll get there!

I share the others sentiment, what a shame that you had an "event" after the the test was finished.

I was complaining of leg discomfort during exertion,TO MY md WHO LOOKED AT MY LEGS Which WERE MOTTLED AND ORDERED AN Artreial DOPPLER. Sorry about the caps.

Haven't gotten it yet. I know "WE" get that because of Dysautonomia but Drs. want to check out the other possibilites too, and rightly so.

good luck

Hi,

I have taken norpace 5 years. No problems. I have NCS not POTS.

good luck

you should be able to darn it since its in the heal. I darn mine at any spots, when you do that the area won't stretch and you have to refrain from pulling (to stretch) it at that spot. My repairs have always held.

I use regular thread. The other might be better. Maybe you could call the manufacturer?

You can find darning instructions are on-line. if you need it.

OMG he's cute, those are some long whiskers for a baby!

Da*n

when is the event?

get better quick!

Hope its a grand time for you!!!!!

ya gotta give the buspar 2 weeks to get use to it. In the begining it it feels uncomfortable, like you slept too much- punky. Well it did for me. Wasn't on anything else at the time tho.

what did the Doc have to say?

so glad that's over!

I hear you Nina. Night hours are not our best freinds.

I saw the Dr., and he didn't seem to have any concern re my wired feeling. Except that was when he said shift work causes all kinds of problems. I complained about my legs and am getting my cholesterol checked and an arterial dopper. Plus going to a therapist for Depression. I complained about fatique, he said probable depression, I mentioned the stressors I'm faceing he said stress causes depression. I said I'm irritable- do you think, menopause? He said depression.

He would not let me wiggle out of it. Its not that I disaggree with that but I am against taking antideppresents. They keep me up and are more work for my liver, so -therapist it is.

what came to my mind is emotional shock.

.

This information was developed by psychologist William Emerson. Note that many of these symptoms are paradoxical. A lot depends on whether a person:

* has sympathetic or parasympathetic shock

* is in the early or late stages of adrenal fatigue/burnout

* is a direct, avoidant or other style of recapitulator (for more information see Recapitulation.)

Every symptom listed below can also occur because of reasons other than shock. However, these symptoms are common in people who have experienced emotional shock (severe emotional trauma). This checklist is an anecdotal diagnostic tool; the Adrenal Stress Index provides a biological measure of adrenergic hormones and is a very accurate measure of unresolved shock levels.

.

IN ADULTS

.

Here are some commonly-reported symptoms of unresolved emotional shock in adults:

.

Physical symptoms

# Lack of focused eye contact; stuporous or fixed gaze (zoning out)

# Vacant or distant look (preoccupied)

# Molded skeletal or muscular cranial/facial features

# Fixated postures and/or movements

# Body numbness

# Cold, clammy hands and feet

# Immobility

# Restlessness

# Amnesia: inability to remember blocks of time, patchy or absent memories of childhood

# Over- or under-tense musculature (hyper- or hypotonic)

# Nervousness or tremors

# Loss of speech; change in speech pattern

# Very fast or very slow speech pattern

# Fainting or dizziness when aroused or stressed

# Pupils fixed (very large or small)

# Dryness in eyes

# Dry mouth

# Tight jaw

# Chronic muscle tension

# Shallow breathing

# Difficulty breathing

# Frequent sighs

# Chronically tired

# Poor general health

# Speedy, racy, hurried

# Extreme precision in physical movement; physically cautious

thanks guys, I found the correct adjective at POTS place. Feeling wired>

Thank God I have a better description.

partial list

The above are symptoms reported by POTS researchers. Other symptoms sometimes reported by POTS patients include:

* Arrhythmias (irregular heart beats)

* Chemical sensitivities (May have multiple chemical sensitivity and can be very sensitive to medications - may only need small doses)

* Easily over-stimulated

* Feeling full quickly

* Feeling "wired"

* Food allergies/sensitivities (some foods seem to make symptoms worse)

* Hyperreflexia

* Irregular menstrual cycles

* Loss of appetite

* Loss of sex drive

* Muscle aches and/or joint pains

* Swollen nodules/lymph nodes

* Polydipsia (excessive thirst)

* Weight loss or gain

* Feeling detached from surroundings

* Restless leg syndrome

I was DX with

pseudoseizures -sent to the shrink

who DX me with epilepsy

then to a neuro who sent me to EP

Wala!

One particular type of chronic dizziness not related to vertigo (a feeling of turning or whirling usually associated with inner ear problems) has long vexed physicians, according to background information in the article. "Patients with this syndrome have chronic nonspecific dizziness, subjective imbalance and hypersensitivity to motion stimuli, which are exacerbated in complex visual environments (e.g., walking in a busy store, driving in the rain)," the authors write. Some researchers have proposed the term chronic subjective dizziness for this condition.

link from maxine's post

Seeing the Dr. as a follow up, I started a 12 hour shift which was a BAD idea. Took maybe a month to recover from 3 months of 3 12 hour days a week. And I did not recover completely so this is 2nd follow up.

I searched, sensation of exhaustion, sensation of overstimulation, feeling exhaustion and whatever else I could think of. Does anyone understand if I say I feel

like I have a rubberband stretched from my head to my feet and its tight and uncomfortable? When I lay down the sensation is only in the chest and head.

This is the same feeling I have had if I over drank and over partied then overused coffee to get going the next day. Been decades since I've done that- but I have.

It would be helpful if I could find a descpirtion of the sensation- I think! Right now I'm sitting, so its in my arms and head. I have compression hose on.

thanks!

did you look into vertigo?

An actively-controlled bed reducing the effect of centrifugal force on patients

Abstract

When an ambulance runs through a congested road or turns a corner, a patient receives the acceleration of the right-and-left direction. To reduce the patient's physical strain caused by such acceleration, we prototyped the actively-controlled bed which rotates around the patient's body axis synchronizing with the lateral acceleration. This article examines its effectiveness in terms of ride quality.
