I recently started have serious issues with energy after not long after exercise or swimming. I feel great before often during but after wards I crash, I dont understand why, I was so bad 3 days in a row after using the pool that on the 3rd I was so close to calling an ambulance but I managed to get to home JUST. The reconmended blood work I asked for a ECG(EKG) because I had never had on before to be sure about my palpitation, thats a different issue. The last fue night I have not slept much I've been in pain with restleg syndrome. I took pain meds and it barly helped the first night and the second night I took pain meds and sedative I managed to sleep deeply for 3 hours.
I was still in heaps of pain this morning after sitting for while after gym. I decided to go my new dr about it and was planing to ask for stranger pain meds cause the strongest over counter meds were not fully working and whats the point of takeing pain meds if they dont work fully or enough to get on with life. So I made an oppointment went the she her managed to tell her how I was feeling in detail. She said my test were all normal and there really did not seem to be anything she could do for me......I burst in tear for the first time eva in front of a dr with out running out of the room. I STILL managed to keep talking to her(but had taken a 1/4 of a sedative a hour before) I dont know if the crying made her realise I was not faking or if she had make it look like she was trying to help, but she ended up giving me what I thought at the time was stronger sleeping med but it turns out to be an anti D med another one on top of the one I've been using for 7y. It feels litle she saying it depression but telling me it to sleep like a placebo, I read up about it and it does say it used for insomnia, PTSD, IBS, other issues I suffer from and some I hopeing I dont but have many of the symptoms.

I still cant get it out of my head that she mainly gave it to me for depression reasons.
How is a anti D going to help me sleep my 200mg of luvox barly helps me sleep and it has a sedative componant to it. She said that hopfull if I can sleep threw the night the symptoms will subside basicly and thats all I want I to feel normal or at least function more normal right now I almost feel like gekal and hide but with energy not mood. I swap suddenly and it unpreticable. I just want a dr will take me serious I not looking to pricked and poked and tested just for the attention that the last thing I want I hate getting attention.
I'm gona talk to my T about this on friday 4th dec, I hope he does not make me feel like a hyperconract cause I know I'm not I know this is not in my head. I know its not and if it is I think I'd rather be dead than continue to live this way.
i'm so angry as well cause I just happened see the guy who smashed his way in my house and started me on roller coaster road that I want to be off of NOW stop the ride I want OFF and I want OFF NOW. I was scared to see him the first time in while I walk away but the further I got from him the more I want to go back and scream at him.....how dare he get to relax and enjoy life while I suffer like this..........I'm lucky I was far away I got a really stronger erge to turn around and scream at him if had been in the shop I was in I think I would have made a sean for the first time eva in public.
