Feeling ill all the time

GraySaturday

What is going on with me?

Okay I feel really ill all the time. I get headaches a lot, I'm tired, my stomach hurts all the time. If I don't sleep like 10 hours, I feel like I've slept 45 mins. I feel dizzy and bloated.

My mom says I'm pregnant, and to that I say :eek:

someone fix me.....!

go to the doctor...that's the only way to really get a clue what's going on with your body.

Thank you, and I looked into the Doctor and here is my issue:

My husband gets an allowance of a small amount of pretaxed money each month for health care, instead of outright insurance, and I don't have health insurance through work, since I work with a family. So we have to buy our own health insurance. So I picked a plan that was pretty expensive but we could do it. However I come to find out that our 1000 dollar deductible is only towards being hospitalized, and we actually are never covered for going to the Dr. So I have to pay out of pocket for any visit. Which for a cold or something wouldn't be horrible, but something like this they are going to have to run a million tests to find out whats wrong, and all I can see is dollar signs.

While heath is really important to me, I just can't fork over money like that. I don't have it.

I hate America sometimes. I wish I could run away to a place with better healthcare. End rant.

anxiety?

I never though of myself as anxiety prone. Been through a lot the past 6 years. Work changes, marriage, dad had a massive cerebral aneurysm, recently got majorly screwed by a coworker. Always handled it with grace and poise.

A few weeks before Christmas I started having trouble catching my breath, stomach aches, dizziness, getting panicky. It was soooo weird. I never though of anxiety. And, I truly believe it was! I was super down in the dumps too. The blues lasted about 3 weeks.

And I feel much better now, but am still going to talk to my Dr. about it on Tuesday.

The "panic attacks" hit me out of the blue. After some major shit went down at work. I would have thought IF it happened, it would have come up when my dad was sick or during all of the stress of my issue with my coworker (who has since quit YEA!) but it was delayed. IMO.

Talk to you Dr. It could be stress/anxiety. I never saw it coming!

First of all, take a home pregnancy test...get that out of the way..

Second, go to the ER at a County Hospital. (Eww, I know)

Thirdly, do it soon, ok?

Have you felt like this for a long time?

Usually, when I've got something similar to what you're describing going on, it's either anxiety or poor eating/exercise habits.

Take a pregnancy test and rule that out! No need to worry about something like that...

I hope you feel better soon.

I have severe anxiety and zanax is my best friend sometimes....if you are dizzy, you might have an inner ear infection and that is why your tummy is queasy because your equilabream (sp?) is off..

I have felt like this for a while.. but lately it has been worse. I do eat well.. and I work out, I go to the gym and do yoga.

I feel like I live in a fog. I have no energy, and I'm pretty low key. I'm not depressed, I'm not worried, I'm off work for 2 weeks.. I have no complaints, but I can't get it together. I think I will get a pregnancy test this afternoon..

Maybe it's a sleeping disorder? Those will suck the life out of you.

I feel your pain though. I've been sick for the last 5 days and my nose is burning right now :(

You know, it very well could be. I have been having MAJOR sleeping issues lately.

Exercise, eat healthy, drink lots of water. Something like 80% of people are constantly dehydrated and that makes you feel tired and causes headaches.. thats the best advice I can offer.

Did you rule out the type of "hormone problem" that results in a noisy little human being forming inside of you?

Did you ever test?
