Feeling ill - stressed and fed up

[Guest guest]

Hi All,

I know we are all having problems with the snow. Last Wednesday my other half

picked me up from work at 4.30pm - we got home at 9.55pm. Five and a half hours

to travel five miles. When I got in I was shaking so much I could hardly stand.

On Thursday I felt ill and very tired - and still shaking. Friday I felt a

little bit better but still shaking. On Saturday we had to go out for food. I

felt that I did not have the strength to stand in the very long queue for the

checkout so I managed to find a chair. When I got home I felt exhausted.

I had a bath as I thought it would make me feel better but later on in the

evening I felt really weird. My heart was fluttering so much. It continued to

flutter for the rest of the evening and I felt really scared and anxious. I

thankfully managed to get some sleep.

On Sunday I checked when I last upped my dose of NDT - around the 22nd December

- 1/4 of a grain. I decided that I might be having a bad reaction as I am very

sensitive to dose increases. I did not have any NDT on Sunday.

Today I am still feeling ill - I have a cough and an upset stomach. My pulse is

around 92.

I am taking 8 Isocort and have been taking an extra couple of halves as stress

dosing.

This weather has knocked me for six. Five and a half hours stuck in traffic and

scared that I would have to walk home - I did not have any boots or coat. I hate

the snow - it makes me feel scared, stressed and trapped. I hate the cold.

I thought that by taking NDT, T3 and Isocort my health would be able to cope

with stressful situations, but combined with the stress of Christmas and the

snow then, and the snow now, I feel very vulnerable and anxious regarding my

health - I feel as though I will never be well and never be able to cope with

life.

Sorry about the whinging long post but I felt too ill to go to work and so now

I am at home feeling ill and very, very down.
