Hi everyone, I have posted here for the past few months. I have reactivated EBV and CMV and likely had LYme in the past according to ID dr. For the past two years I have been having unreal autonomic dysfunction issues - mainly POTS type heartrate issues, head pressures, feelings of adrenaline waking me from sleep. I am actually in the process of being worked up for autonomic issues. I do not have a peripheral neuropathy but they are testing me this week for small fiber.
The newest is scary to me. All of my senses are bombarded and overloaded. I took my daughter to a birthday party and I almost fainted several times from the noise and stimuli and had head pressure and weird head pains the whole time. Dizzy too, like walking on a bouncy...
When I sit down to work (Im an attorney) I actually seize up with fear and overload over all the steps I need to do to accomplish something. Is this a self-fulfilling prophecy or is the cognitive limitation happening, I can't tell anymore! I can still plan and execute, and my memory and word recall is good. Its just this overwhelming anxiety and agitation when having to read and concentrate and focus. Anyone else?. I keep worrying that its dementia or brain injury.
So far the only thing they have found is super low C3 and C4 and I had a thyroglobulin antibody show up on test so maybe something is attacking my thyroid and making me panicky? My TSH is low 0.55 but the labs minimum is 0.40, so technically Im still normal.
I just started an antipsychotic (Zyprexa) and Prozac. I still feel super anxious. I feel like my brain is inflamed or something is wrong up there. I never feel right. Even the drugs are not helping. I feel like something snapped.
