I really need some help with this. I have managed to keep working almost 9 years after becoming sick. I only work part time.
Recently though after I get home from work (6 hour shift) I feel as though my brain is going to explode and my body becomes totally wound up inside. Once I get myself laying down the head symptom goes away and I am left with my insides vibrating...my heart pounding and just extremely overwhelmingly exhausted. I am not sleepy or tired but my torso from my chest to my lower abdomen is in turmoil.
I am not sure how to exactly explain this but it is horrible. It also causes the nerve pain in my left calf and foot to go into overdrive and get very painful with shooting....electrical current like pains. It is like my body is rebelling and torturing me.
I also have to take extra sleep meds on the days I work since it is almost impossible to fall asleep inspite of being physically exhausted.
I don't have any problems while I am at work with concentrating...thinking...or doing anything physical but when I get home I pay for it.
I DID not have this problem in the early years of my illness but has become increasingly worse in the past year.
I have tried so hard to keep with my job through the years but am not sure how much I want to suffer in order to work a couple days each week.
Can anyone shed any light on what would be the cause of this....I only feel this horrble after I have worked.
I think I have written on this before but the past couple days have been horrendous and today I feel like I have been hit by a snow plow.
I work in a pharmacy and am on my feet the entire time except for breaks. I have been tested for POTS and OI and don't have either....
I see the doctor this week and am trying to come up with the right words to describe this to him so he understands...HELP
