When I answer you, just remember I've gotten bitter.
Maybe I shouldn't respond to posts anymore. :(

You absolutely should NOT stop responding! I find your responses to be very helpful and honest. I read your reponse to me (in the thread right above) before reading this, and it just painted such a wonderful, warm feeling for me. I obviously dont even know you or your T, but just imagining you in your pajamas, talking to your T.. I cant really explain why, but it makes me feel good. What you said about it being easier to maintain than rebuild was exactly right.
I wish I didnt have such a tendency to ramble... but all I'm trying to say is that I think you're doing just fine. We all feel bitter sometimes, and that's fine, but I really dont think youre "infecting others" with anythnig negative at all.

> Maybe I shouldn't respond to posts anymore. :(I *love* your responses. Please don't stop responding! And anyway, if you have bitter moments, I know you can understand where I'm coming from.
Just be you! We love you.

I don't hear that in your posts. I hope you keep on keeping on being Dinah!!
Have you made a decision regarding your work yet?

I'm glad it's not affecting my posting overmuch. I just see flashes of things in my posts I'd rather not see.
I didn't mean to ask for reassurance. I'm really 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.
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'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.

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.

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.

Migraines tend to be all body events. I think that's the major part of it right now. They seem to be coming every afternoon lately. Of course, I'm also sleeping badly at night. And I always fall asleep during the day while I'm upset and I'm often upset.
Unfortunately, while the stress about moving has gone down, the stress of being married has gone up. Because I think my husband is angry. My son and I are both giving him wide berth.
As Roseanne Roseannadanna said... Oh I forget, but it was wise.

And I'm sorry to hear that you are under so much stress right now. It seems like you have had 2 solid years of stress. When will it ever end?
Sleep is so important. I know when my sleeping gets out of whack, everything else seems to go too. The body needs rest. I hope you get your life back on track now that the "where are we going live?" is hopefully behind you.
This is the end of the thread.
