Guest guest Posted June 16, 2009 Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 Ok, we all have good days and bad days. I get that. But how do you deal with things when you start to feel overwhelmed? This week,aside from children's graduations, ex's visit to see kids and my aunt dying saturday, my eyes seem to become yellow tinted, and blurry from time to time. Taking a deep breath in causes coughing big time this week. Hungry all the time (more than usual I feel). Have had really severe headaches for 3 days, with sudden intense pain at times in my head. I am sleepless, as time of email will confirm. Oh, and just because it has not been a stressful and long enough week my stupid oxygen tank fell on my big toe and I think that it is broken. (hurts and is turning purple). Feel like a 2 year old, just want to scream and throw things, however, logic keeps me in line, as I would have to pick it all up. And my house is already a mess and driving me crazy. Docs appt Thurs. Thanks for listening, IPF/NSIP 08 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 16, 2009 Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 Hi ,It sounds like you are just having one of those awful periods. Probably in a couple weeks you'll tell this same story and laugh about it. Are you hydrated? Headaches are frequently caused by dehydration and it is easy to forget to drink when you have all the activities going on. I know because I did it on my wedding day. :)I hope this finds you feeling better. Sometimes as hard as we try to make things perfect the universe is out to show us it isn't that important!If you can't take deep breaths at least try to take slow breaths - it'll relax you a bit.Peggy E.

Guest guest Posted June 16, 2009 Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 , Sorry for the blank post....Boy are you having a crappy week! I'm so sorry you are struggling so. I am glad that you are going to the doctor on Thursday but don't hesitate to call to be seen earlier if you feel you need to. One question....when you say your eyes are tinted yellow, do you mean your vision? or your eye itself is physically yellow? If your eyeball looks yellow please call the doctor today. Jaundice is not something that you should wait around to have looked into. I really hope your toe isn't broken...maybe you should have it looked at so they can tape it if it is broken? Hope you're feeling better today!
