Is not taking care of yourself considered si??
Reasoning: I've had a head ache now for 3 weeks. It's not improving. Doc thought it was a sinus infection but I'm not so sure..... I just don't want to see the doc and get told that it's all in my head, when it clearly isn't. Besides the head hurting... I've experienced some weird things.. rapid eye movement, muscle weakness, neck pain, fatigue, and it's impacting my driving. About an hour ago, I don't know what happened, but it felt like the uncontrollable shaking from an anxiety attack, but I know it wasn't an attack... I don't want to go anywhere, I'm not safe to drive right now, and I'm thinking that not getting help could be considered si, but I just don't know... what do I do, Where do I turn to? And when is it too late to get help?? |

Can you call a doctor and talk through your symptoms?

I agree with SoupDragon. Call your doctor immediately and talk through your symptoms. If they are not in right now and/or you feel your symptoms worsening, call the ER, nearest clinic, etc. Make sure that someone knows. It may not be anything, but it could definitely be something serious. I am headache/migraine-prone myself, and it could be an aneurysm. Just need to do the best you can now to protect your health from worsening. I will keep you in my prayers.

haven't called, or told to many people around me... I know things are bad, I just don't want to admit it.

It's okay to not be okay, but please take care of yourself.

weird question, but have you hit your head recently? (even a small contact can do it) Some of these symptoms sound like post concussion syndrome (not a doctor but have had 3 concussions and currently dealing with 9 months of PCS) I had the shaking thing too. Regardless, I do hope you take care of yourself, you do deserve to get help. keep us posted please.

So at 8:30 tomorrow morning, I will call my doc and hopefully get in tomorrow and quickly.
I"m trying some homeopathy in hopes that it helps, even just enough for me to get through the night... Something is wrong.. I know it, and it will be found by some test. This can't be just psychosomatic pain. Stress level is down, and I know it's not stress (since meds for stress have helped, and those feelings aren't high) with that it has to be medical. Something that they can fix... as long as they figure it out... At least tomorrow I'll see the doc. I Promise! |

To me it sounds like stress response. My head gets weird when I'm under huge amounts of stress and things sometimes don't make sense. I know I'm not sick, even if I have blurred vision, headaches, or vomit--it's just how my body deals with stress.
Pay attention to your body and think about the stressors in your life. You may find that the issues are related. |

Got some sleep but I've still got a headache even after meds. I just hope it disappears and doesn't get worse. Atypical migraines, if not treated leads to serious problems... The question is... will something help, so I can not feel like I'm in a lake.
And another lovely symptom... neck pain/stiffness... Can I get some relieve some time soon. This is affecting every aspect of life... I sure hope my pdoc has some tricks up his sleeve to help me not feel like si'ing or sui, just because of lack of hope and wanting more pain... which doesn't make any sense. but it's taking over my life, I just can't get much relieve. and it really sucks to be in this much pain... why can't I just pass out, and wake up without a pain in the neck and head.... |
