Ailment Thread

I think I just had an anxiety attack. I'm not to sure as I don't know what one feels like. I felt overwhelmed, nauseous, and slightly upset for no real reason. I think I am better now...

Are you at work, Frank? I hope you're okay

Yeah, I am. I wasn't even that busy. I mean I have been busier and hadn't felt like that before. I am ok now, but it has been coming and going in small waves. Thank you for your concern, Hattie.

Well, I really hope that you feel better soon. Can you take a break and call a friend?

I am working alone today in my department. I don't have a scheduled break for another 2 1/2 hours. I can take a small break, but I have to have one of the officers come off the street to relieve me of my duties for a few minutes. Right now that isn't going to happen, since we are slightly busy.

As of right now, I think I am fine. It was really weird, though, how I was feeling earlier. I think I have been racking my brain too much as of late.

Hattie, thanks again.

It sounds like a panic attack Frank. I had them really bad when I was in my twenties. They usually strike when you least expect it, even if you arent stressed out. The first time I had one, it kept coming in waves all day. If this continues, I think you should see your doctor about it.

I hope you're ok, Frank. Take care of yourself and rest and relax when you can.

Today was a bad day. I thought things had gotten back to normal earlier but they didn't. On top of the anxiety attack or whatever work got busy and everything that could go wrong did. I ended up staying late. It took everything I had not to meltdown. I got out of work and thought i'd feel better but I didn't. I think it got worst because of how I was holding everything in earlier. I figured I just needed to talk to someone but I just couldn't find anyone. My brother was out of town, my best friend was not answering, my parents weren't even home so I was reaching after that but I just couldn't anyone to talk to. I was really close to driving myself to the hospital because I didn't know what else to do. I decided to try and just relax so I lied down. It helped a bit and I ended up napping. I feel pretty good now.

I've slept like crap and have been working a lot this week. I think that and the shitty schedule I work finally caught up to me. Anyway thanks for those who were concerned. I hope this isn't a reoccurring issue.

If it continues please see your doctor. You should still let your family and friends know that you're not feeling good too.

*hugs*

Ailment: I got told to up two of my doses of insulin. I think it was too much too soon because I had a terrible night and a shakey, light-headed morning. I'm back to a lower dose now. Ugh.

Sorry you had a bad night and morning, but I'm glad your feeling better Sarah.
Frank Sarah is right, you should let those close to you that you aren't feeling yourself. It sounds like anxiety to me, but the lack of sleep and stress could be it too. Or the lack of sleep and work could have brought it on? Okay I was trying to be helpful, but now I'm going in circles. Anyhow Frank I do hope you feel better.

I appreciate the concern, folks. I think I know the cause of yesterday's issues. On top of being uber tired and stressed, it was a shitty day. I think what definitely didn't help matters was the fact I took some caffiene pills during the day. I was so beat and a guy offered me some. Apparently I should've only taken one, and I took three... oops. So that might explain why I was feeling like I was.

Today I am feeling a lot better. Got some decent sleep yesterday and last night as well. I actually got called in to work early today, but I will be getting out earlier too, so it won't be a long day like the past few days.

Take care of yourself, Frank.

I'm trying as best as I can. Taking it one day at a time.

Big hugs Frank x Hope Sinatra is looking after you!

My left boob hurts again. I'm seeing a doctor next month.

If you want someone to take a look at it before then, I'm here... just saying.

If it could be done via the Internet, I'd be relieved. It's probably nothing, but I wanna be sure.

In all seriousness I hope there's nothing wrong with your boob.

Obviously so do I. And you, though I suspect your troubles aren't physical.

No. I fall under "other" I guess.

My eye.

It's pink.

Ewwwwwwwwwww.

So's my vagina.

Frank, I didn't know that you struggled or were struggling with stuff to this degree (you've made some cryptic posts, but I haven't wanted to pry). Glad you're feeling better today, but I agree with Sarah that you should let your family know you're having a hard time some days.

Bah, life stresses just got the best of me. The end of February is usually a shitty time for me. On top of other stuff thats happened in the past month or so, I was feeling vulnerable or something. I've had a break through in the last few days and I am really feeling a lot better. Thanks for your concern, Alecia.

Everyone has AIDS. And cancer.

I have eczema again. Luckily I only seem to get it every couple of years, and it's always been quite mild but my wrists are red and my desk is starting to look like a pharmacy counter.

Also noticed that my E45 cream's best before date was 2002 so maybe that's not helped...

I have an itchy tummy. I'm supposed to avoid putting anything on it because it's where I jab the insulin, but I'm gonna have to go smother it in oil soon. It's driving me nuts.

Gabriel just got his drivers permit, just now, I just talked to him on the phone he was about to have his picture taken.

Yes, I am putting this in the ailment thread on purpose.Oh God, What the F*** am I going to do.

Good on him for getting it! It must be a worry though. Does this just mean he can learn to drive? Tell him he needs to pay for lessons if he wants to drive. Lessons are the best way to go, they can be expensive, but they teach you how to be a really safe driver. Also if he has to pay for his own lessons it might slow him down a bit.

Yes, he gets to learn now. This was just the written test. I believe he needs either 100 hours of instructions from us/other adults plus a safety class, or 50 hours of professional instruction plus a safety class, before he can take his drive test. He also must be 16 first.

And, our own requirements include getting his GPA up from the 3.0 he has been slacking at to a 3.5 minimum. He is doing well on that already, raised most of his classes back up to A's already. He just needs to keep them there. And we already have a car he for him as a bonus that can be his to keep if he keeps his grades up and pays his own insurance.

I intend on giving him as much instruction as possible this year, and continuing. I want him to learn as young and as much as possible. I believe very firmly that my brothers accident was in part because no one taught him properly and he waited until he was 18 and the instruction was no required. His accident was two weeks after he got his license.

I am scared to death though.

Oh, you are so onto it! Your boy seems so sensible.

But I can understand why you are terrified too.

Ridiculously sensible. And logical. He is my logic rant buddy. Don't watch a movie or TV with us ever, we ruin it for everyone in the room with our laughing rants going back and forth seeing who can spot the most and smallest plot holes, down to the hairs falling in someones face shifting unreasonably or a drink being slightly fuller than it was in the camera shot two seconds ago.

Seriously, sometimes he will call me while hanging out with people just because he needs to tell someone how illogical something is and no one of his friends are listening.

Well Pepper, Im right there with you. Jack will be taking his written and driving test this week to get his liscense. He took Drivers Education over the summer and then had to log 50 hours of drive time with his father and I. So I call tomorrow to schedule the test. He turned 16 and 6 months today. He is a very safe driver, but I am terrified for him to drive alone. I know I must let my little chicken get out of the nest a little ways, but Im just not ready for it.

It just sucks scary bad.

I have scratched the corners of my mouth eating nachos and now it hurts.

I've a slight headache. I have had one on and off for the last day or two. I don't know if its a tension headache or one relating to my sinuses. It's more annoying than painful.

I think I jinxed myself. I have an upset stomach for real now. I hope it wasn't from the tapas.

I had a huuuge headache all day, it sucked. I slept a lot because of it. Still feel a bit rough but had a good time at my mum's birthday meal and eating helped a bit.

I think my little cousin got me sick...again. I have a stuffy nose and my throat feels gross. I'm a lil achy and on top of it I'm having girly aches Yuck

I feel pretty good. Today I jogged in the wilderness and I saw a used couch but it ran off before I could take a picture.

I feel like shit today. My throat is closing up I have thick ass snot monsters and I just want to sleep.

Drink tea!

I am slightly tired and therefor have a minor headache. Also, I'm sore.

I caught a cold from sleeping naked last night! WTF spring time!

Haha "spring time". I see what did.

I've been drinking tea all fucking day...yesterday. I just woke up and was about to go make some tea right now.

Oh. Well, I've learned that tea is the way to go. Feel better.

My left boob hurts. Or it might be my heart. This is happening more and more often, goddammit.

Am I character from Rant?

true story - last week, i think sometime wednesday night, got bit by a spider on my d*ck. not sure how. not sure why. lymph-nods blew up. so did my d*ck. ugly and painful. i had severe chills, fever, joint pain and cold sweats for 24 hours. at first i thought it was the flu. friday when i woke up my junk was swollen and i went to the doctor a.s.a.p. they thought it might be a tick or a spider. they ran tests for the flu, streph, and mono. negative.

then thy ran a test for rocky mountain spotted fever. negative. they think it was a spider now and i have been given a very powerful antibiotic. alls well that ends well.

no pun intended.
