It’s just genetic testing...but typically pretty expensive....not all insurance covers it.

God im lucky to have you guys

might go to sleep super early, basically at 8pm. This upped haldol dose is making me drowsy

Desoxyn · Apr 02, 2019 at 07:18 PM

I always clench the right side of my jaw sometimes. It's like going for a smoke.. I clench it once or twice and then I stop clenching until I think of clenching again a few hours later..

It used to be different where I'd do it all the time. The adderall made me clench a little bit more today.. that means it is a good stim..

Coffee can do it too

I think the reason Parkinson's patients clench their jaws is because their medication is dopamine like drugs..

My great uncle has Parkinson's and he hallucinates sometimes because of the meds.

I think it the opposite, the grinding is is untreated patients who have low dopamine just like APs cause. There’s something called pseudo Parkinson’s that people on APs get, shuffling, shaking etc.

It will probably take awhile for my body to get back to normal and have energy again

Possible trigger:

Blue_Bird I don’t necessarily have an ED so maybe I’m talking out of my ***. But here goes.
I will either eat 250 calories a day for 4 days and then eat 2000 calories in one meal or I’ll meticulously measure and count to reach my perfect 1500 calories/day for a couple days and then stop eating because the tracking making me crazy. I don’t intentionally restrict or skip meals...I just don’t always think of it or feel like I can physically handle it.
I have always been this way. Even when I was very heavy.
I have suddenly realized oops it’s been 3 days and all I’ve had is coffee and this twizzler. I rarely get really hungry and if I do I can ignore it and it passes in a few minutes. I quite honestly go days without thinking about food.
Somehow I’m still relatively “healthy”. Despite sometimes eating 3 meals a week I’ve never had to be hospitalized or get fluids.
So you being so ill is incredibly frightening to me. Have you had a full work up?

I don’t really have any advice. I talk out my *** to my daughter about balanced meals and seeing food for what it is...fuel. But in all honesty me and food have a pretty complex relationship. It’s love (of all things junk food) or hate (healthy crap). But I also use it for comfort, entertainment, reward system, to pass the time, etc. all the bad associations. I try really hard not to pass that all on to her but I’m probably failing.
Well...I kind of rambled. Sorry about that. Tired and full of thoughts.
I think you’re doing great. Maybe just a little extra fuel for the fire.

ofthevalley · Apr 02, 2019 at 08:47 PM

Ugh...another busy day.
Just work related...thankfully no running around. Didn’t even go see my guy and his wife. I called and canceled. I was too busy, too tired, and I never bothered to get dressed

. Thankfully Scotty made a delivery.
9 & 1/2 hrs today and 7 yesterday. Told my husband I was clearly the harder worker then realized it takes him less than 4 hrs to earn what takes me 16. Hahahahaha...I kinda cry.
I’m in bed. So happy to be here. I’m burned out on the real world.

Desoxyn · Apr 02, 2019 at 09:40 PM

I like your thoughts/mental state today valley. You're rambling like I do sometimes.

Train of thought can either be good or bad. Right now my train of thought is 50% good. Mostly cuz of the soldiers.

I haven't layed down all day doing nothing and went snowshoeing with my mom. I was afraid that her heart would beat too fast so we only went 1/3 of the way up the top of the mountain. Nice scenery and beautiful day.

I feel like listening to some podcast before I study.

Thank you valley

I'm trying. I had bloodwork done while in the hospital the other day, I know my electrolytes weren't good but I'm not sure of much else, which is why I had 2 bags of IV fluids. My heart was beating irregularly, which is related to all that of course. My blood pressure was really high but went way down, back to normal after I got the fluids.

Blue_Bird · Apr 03, 2019 at 03:36 AM

I think I'm gonna get some stuff to make ice cream sundaes

Findingreason · Apr 03, 2019 at 07:50 AM

I've almost thrown up 4 times in the last half hour...

Blue_Bird · Apr 03, 2019 at 08:18 AM

I fell back asleep for 3 hours and feel great now!

ofthevalley · Apr 03, 2019 at 08:54 AM

Finished work for the morning!!!
Yay. Time to myself. I’m going finish my coffee, turn on the tv, and take a nap. I don’t feel great today. Head is cottony, sinuses are a mess, queasy...going to pop a zofran for that I’ve been throwing up all morning. And I’m really tired. I had trouble sleeping last night cuz I was stressed about my hand. I also had crazy muscle cramps in my feet and legs when I got in bed. I think because I had been so tense the past couple days. The cramps were vicious! I had to get up and walk around at one point. Just overall feeling yucky.
How’s everyone else???

Blue_Bird · Apr 03, 2019 at 08:59 AM

Well that didn't last long, right back to feeling tired after taking my morning meds lol
