UPDATE: Sent home from work and called PDOC

I went to work as usual. Started at 2. But almost immediately felt weird. I'd been having the hallucinations I mentioned, and the unstable gait, but this was really weird. I felt sedated and buzzy inside and HOT! No sweating. I was panting just to get rid of excess heat. I wasn't thirsty but kept drinking glass after glass of cold water. Finally after 2 hours, I went to my boss and told him how I was feeling- a bit faint too from this, now I think about it. He said to go sit down. I called my pdoc. another dr called back. Said we might have to do antipsychotics again. But check lithium in the morning. So boss said to go home. But then said he didn't want me to drive! (Liability I'm sure.) So I called a friend to drive the 20 miles to get me. By that time, I'd talked with my T also. She said I need to ramp down. Just rest. So I have a record on as I type. Then the other boss was checking up on me! I was staring out the window at me and my friend, as we were discussing if I should just have him follow me home. Twice, I looked over and saw him in the window, and twice he darted out to the side like a spider in a web! So I get my lithium level checked tomorrow morning and they'll go from there. I'm SOOOOO exhausted. I'm exhausted when I am awake. I feel that way now but at least I'm clean and took an ativan and have nice music on. So we'll see what happens tomorrow at work. My T said I've been running from thing to thing nonstop and that's not good for BPs. I feel I HAVE to do that to get the things done I need to. I've only worked there for 4 weeks as a temp. I'm afraid they'll fire me, but it feels SOOOO good to get to relax!

I slept for a few hours and stilll and fatigued. waiting a few minutes to take meds. Seems like a quiet night on the board.

I'm exhausted but can't sleep. Sorta ramped down as my T suggested. Two ativans. I'm dozey but wide awake.

Hang in there Moose

get some rest
hope you feel better in the morning.

i am dreading going back to work today.

i did sleep about 12 houtrs minus 1 or so. Im awake and fairly calm just reading witha hot drink but i am not looking forward to later. Get my blood taken at 10:30 this morning. Then they,ll call and go from there.

Glad you got some sleep, when needed it can really be a blessing.
Try not to worry about later, just try & enjoy your peaceful morning.
Take one minute, hour, day, week, ect. at a time.
Keep us posted.

Going to dr. in an hour or so. They're going to see what else it might be if I'm this run down and my chest hurts.

I hope everything checks out ok moose, hang in there.

Oh God Moose, Hope your ok(ish) now. I am sorry your feeling like this. Good job your boss understood that you needed to go home. Best place to relax is your house. Keep us up-dated ok!!

i will get an "occurance" for missing today. Another half missed or a tardy and im out of "occurences" for the next two months. im in the drs office now. Temp bp and oxygen sat. Normal. Hrumph. We'll see.....

That doesnt sound fun at all. Here is wishing you feel better soon

That sucks. I hate it when something is wrong, but the dr says oh well x y z are normal. You are great! Wonderful./not really (I like easy things
like it' s strep. Take this antibiotic and you' ll feel better in 2 days. )Hang in there, Moose.

I think I'm just plain exhausted and having BP symptoms. We'll see what the lithium level says shortly.

Do you still get an "occurance" if you have a doc note?... Hope you feel betters

Not sure. I don't have a note but I can get one on Tuesday from the PDOC.
