Guest guest Posted June 8, 2002 Report Share Posted June 8, 2002 Hi everyone, I am back. I had to quit my job abruptly when out sick for 3 weeks- they were not compassionate. I was overwhelmed by symptoms all day and the stress was making it worse. I was subscribed through my old jobs email plus I only recently acquired a computer. But I am happy to be back. I'm afraid I got much worse fast. I can no longer drive and my grandmother lived with me for the lsat 6 months to help me out. i aslo kept having adrenal failure, tachycardia, and fasting hypoglycemia (when I last left off - I went in for a 3 day fast and was very sick afterwards.) I finally got n appt. with a new neurologist and have been traveling from Phila. to baltimore - but it has been 3 months and although he says he can help me he says he is too busy right now and wants even more tests and I am extremely frustrated. To top it off, my poor grandmother had a minor stroke this sat morning at my place. She has been moved to rehab. at Penn. And my Mom is moving to Fla. and is in total denial that any o this is happening as is my Dad who lives in Fla. (they are divorced.) It has gotten quite complicated. I need to get well fast and I thought I might be able to be back at work now - especially since I am out of funds. The only possible new meds they are thinking of are anticholinase 9spelling) and beta blockers - but my experience with the latter 10 years ago for MVP was bad (it made my hypotension worse.) the new dr. has only seen high b.p. and tachycardia on standing and is now saying I have POTS. But my ongoing dr. knows better - he sees my battle with hypotenson plus all of my bowel, bladder, and other neuro symptoms. hope all have been well, sorry to have left so abruptly Waverley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 9, 2002 Report Share Posted June 9, 2002 Waverley, It's good to see you back on the list. I'm sorry to hear that you've had such a difficult time.
