Well, you are allowed to ask for reassurance! But I’m sorry to hear you’re not well.
> I've spoken to my bosses about work. After reviewing what I do, I realized I'd have to change my strategy about what to give up if I was to make any significant difference in my workload. So I made an alternate proposal and am waiting for feedback.I hope they give you what you need.
> But I'm really not well, so I'm not working too well. I get migraines, get disoriented, fall asleep, my muscles tremble, I spend hours rocking. But I cover well enough that when people call I sound ok so they're expecting my usual output. I did have to end a phone call yesterday because of a migraine, but in general I *sound* ok. I'm not sure what to do.
I know what you mean about sounding OK. I almost always sound OK, even when I feel terrible.
But Dinah, your symptoms sound serious. Are you checking your blood glucose regularly? Many of the things you mentioned can be symptoms of hyperglycemia. That’s the only thing I know about :( But maybe there are other questions I should be asking. And I know you hate exercise (which is entirely to your credit) but are you getting any?
> I'm thinking of calling my internist to see if there's some medication interaction or something, but I just had bloodwork so I guess I'm ok. I'm sure it's all in my head.
I don’t know what they checked for in your bloodwork, but they can’t possibly check for everything. And even if some of it is in your head, that doesn’t mean it’s trivial.
I hope you feel better soon.
