Oh Cristina that sound horrid. Sending purple healing vibes your way.

Christina this sounds like too much for one person. I am sorry you are going through all that. Please keep us posted. I hope they figure out what's going on and that it's nothing too serious.

Still feeling well. This is a new record for me. Bit bored. Was going to go for a walk but it’s already hot. Can’t believe I’m hot and spring has only just started.
My pdoc is going away for a month. I’m only one of a few patients that has to see her offsider in her absence. I’ve got a track record of getting sick every time she’s on leave. I hope I can stay well.

I had to do a holter monitor... That thing was annoying. Have you done one before?

I have tachycardia also, for no apparent reason... It's just usually always high.

Pookyl · Sep 05, 2019 at 07:01 PM

Hi Christina, hope you start to feel better soon.

We discussed my feeling just so ill, long story short, full labs next week, also specific testing for vitamin D level ( I have taken supplements for a decade) and B12 etc.

There is a slight change in my EKG , so she wants a Holter monitor. I told her it’s difficult to know if I’m having chest pain or anxiety.. I have had tachycardia for years, it can often run 120-140 either up and moving or not, it was 118 -120 while we talked, I have no white coat syndrome , so it was what it was.

So once all this is done it likely I’m going to see a cardiologist for further testing....

Hugs everyone... I’ll try and come back later and get caught up here.

Those heart rates must be vary uncomfortable!

I am sorry you have been going through this. I am very glad you have been taken seriously and are well taken care of!

Hi all! I hope everyone is doing well. I have missed you all! I come back and we are already in a new room; then again I have been gone for almost two weeks on an vacation. The vacation was very interesting to say the least; but M and I enjoyed ourselves so much we booked two more cruises for next year. That was a fantastic vacation it was so hard to walk off the ship and call that the end of the vacation.

I don't go back to work until Monday; but I do have a million loads of laundry to get through, I need to go grocery shopping; plus I need to organize my closet for the upcoming fall season. Back to the normal grind; time to count down until my next vacation.

I had an incredible 25th birthday; next week will be my 1 year at Psych Central and then in October I will be celebrating a year at my job. Lot's to celebrate lately with my health and just life in general. This is certainly a very memorable year for me.

I missed all of you and need to catch up on what is going on with everyone.

Hugs to everyone

Oh dear I am so sorry you are having issues yet again. Sorry your heart is being wonky. I hope the Holter monitor goes well; I still remember how uncomfortable mine was. I hope you get to feeling better soon. How is your husband fairing?

Yes I have had them before this is probably my 4th or 5th time. I try not to get annoyed about it, but when I roll over on it and wake up, yes annoyed

Glad to hear you had a great vacation. I’m so glad life is treating you so well. !! Congrats on everything

My Husband is doing okay , Thanks for asking.

~Christina · Sep 05, 2019 at 11:38 PM

BirdDancer I’m so glad your husbands eye appt went well ! I would have picked the cafe over Wawa too !

Nammu... have you ever tried Doxepin? It’s a AD Tricyclic but it’s used for insomnia and sleep disorders. I was on it for a couple years and found it helpful. I didn’t have any bad side effects. Not sure if you have tried it before. I wish I could take away your nightmares.

WC You have the patience of a saint !!!!!! A legit saint! I hope that the idiots can get there shyt together and keep it that way

I’ve had to do holter monitors. I find them annoying too at night and sweaty in the middle of summer.

Yep the summer heat is awful when it comes to the leads of the monitor...

Not feeling great physically, but could be worse, and hoping to turn it around. Just kind of fatigued and joints feel flared up which has me discouraged about the whole running thing and feeling quite blah in general. Having a bit of a hard time cognitively which is making work more of a challenge, but just going to keep on keeping on. Hope everyone has a great day!

childofchaos831 · Sep 06, 2019 at 07:27 AM

Depression is hitting me hard... Crying spell and obsessing over sui plan last night... Have IOP in a lil bit. Might end up getting moved up to PHP.

Sorry you're struggling. If you get moved to PHP, I hope it helps you feel better.

Have you thought about biking? Maybe not a bike itself if you don't have one, but an exercise bike? The impact on your knees from running is far greater than the impact on your knees from cycling, so in theory, you shouldn't get as much of a flare up from cycling, although admittedly, I do not know how bad your flare up is and what movements are most painful. Just a thought, though.

I haven't been keeping up with a lot of posts here, so I can't tell if you have a gym membership or not, but I think an exercise bike might help.
