I dont have that, but I did want to ask how your son was.

poor little fish! I hope that you continue to improve and that you get some answers and some much needed help! Take care! We are watching the fish tank for you.

sorry you are going through so much. I would look for a different dr. I dont trust anybody who says that there is nothing else they can do. I hope your visit to the EP goes well and you get some answers.

feel better amy!

I feel like crap tonight, but I know why. I was in a seminar today for 7 hours and it had to be at least 75 in the room. I had on short sleeves, but I was still so hot I wanted to puke. The teacher wouldnt adjust the air even though everyone was hot. She told us to just wear layers tomorrow so we can take things off as needed. My head is pounding. I had gatorade with me and drank 2 of the 32 oz bottles, but I still feel dehydrated. Hope you feel better soon.

Ive been on florinef for 6 years and I have tried to go off of it several times, but just end up with an increase in symptoms. Glad you are feeling more like yourself.

are you serious? lol!

If you dont get any help from your boss then call the human resources department and make them aware of your condition and of your drs note. Good luck!

I hope you feel better soon!

I know exactly what you are talking about. I feel horrible when I lounge around for a few days. Its like I have to build myself back up to getting ready and leaving the house. I just try and do it gradually. I have to go to the grocery store today and that is probably going to be it for me. I have to get back into the swing of things because I start student teaching next monday.

feel better soon!

I dont have any advice for you, but I just wanted to say good luck and dont give up!

Im so glad that Blakes surgery went well! Hope you have a happy and healthy new year!

do you think maybe you are dehydrated? I only ask because alot of times, my symptoms are worse when I am dehydrated. Have you had an EKG lately? Hope you feel better soon!

Im in my first trimester of pregnancy and all of the hormones are throwing me for a loop. Im having bp and tachy. They say that the progesterone tapers off after the first trimester when the placenta starts producing them for the baby. I would talk to your dr about discontinung that medication. Hope you feel better soon.

Ive been having adrenaline surges for a few weeks now. I think mine is caused my the massive amount of hormones my body is producing right now (8 weeks pregnant). I know what you mean about the sleep, I wake up many times during the night and then at about 6 am my body decides that it is ready to get up for good leaving me exausted. I take zoloft and have been on it for years with no problems, but everyone is different. It doesnt help with the adrenaline surges that I get, but it does help with other POTs symptoms. Good luck!

I have had to take a few leaves of abescence from my job. I just get so fatigued that my system goes into overdrive and then I get adrenaline surges. Its like having a constant panic attack. Luckily, my dr has filled out the paperwork both times so that I received FMLA benefits. (Not my whole paycheck, but better than nothing). I do not agree with your dr about some people just being able to work through it. Everyones symptoms are different and just because someone else can work, doesnt mean that you can. I hope that you start feeling better soon!

I take salt tablets and add salt to anything that I can.

Its worth a try. Even if your neuro cant help maybe he can refer you to someone who can.

I cant go from cold to warm without feeling awful. I love the cold and always keep the air low. If I go in a store where its hot I cant stay too long without starting to get dizzy and nauseous.

yay! Im glad that your dr is so supportive! I hope the new meds help you sleep better!

when my heart beats slow I feel like it is also beating very hard. I am not on a beta blocker though.

I went to the ER 2 different times and they told me that I had a strep infection on my kidneys and a UTI. Not even close. I went to a different ER about 1 hr away and met my current cardio. He diagnosed me. If you dont feel like they have gotten it right yet, I say get another opinion. It cant hurt.

Thanks for the responses. Ive pretty much just been trying to rest. I havent been to work this week. The added adrenaline makes me feel to anxious to function at work. This moring I did a little cleaning. I will definately try your suggestions. I go to the dr on friday so Im going to talk to her about this too. Im just upset because I didnt feel like this when I was pregnant with gabby, but I know that every pregnancy is different.

thats kind of scary. I just assumed that only kids get whopping cough since they are the ones vaccinated against it. I will definately ask my dr about getting vaccinated. Thanks!
