The Shakes

[XmasCarol52]

When taking otc sleeping pills .. use caution especially when taking anti anxiety medication. Because you never know. You finally got a full nights sleep and i'm happy for you but, it's going to take more than one nig ht of sleep for you to recover after all that time of not sleeping well. And another thing... some otc sleep medication may make you fall asleep but, it's all about the quality. How are you today? Seems to be decelent here today huh? I have to go get a cardiac ultrasound on the 20th... I hope that goes well. Sure hope there's no damage. I don't need anything else in my life. But, I suppose everybody has there problems huh?

Hi sis I am okay today much better then I was the last couple of days.It is very hot and humid today looks like we may get rain.I love the smell of rain.Good luck on your ultra sound I will pray for you.I know this must be causing you a lo t of stress ,i am so sorry you have to go through this...

It's makes matter worst that I have an increased chance for a heart attack during a panic attack. My doctor told me that You can't talk yourself through a heart palpitation. You know.. She's got a good point too. You might can talk yourself through hyperventilation or maybe even dizziness but, a heart palpation. .. I don't think so. And nobody on my family" at the exception of you guys".. knows what it's like to battle your whole life . To fight against simple tasks such as going to the store, going swimming and even being there for your loved ones when they need you. Does it hurt? Yes. But, sometimes you feel as though there is little to nothing that you can do about it. Maybe if I get on the right medication though things will be ok again and I can at least attempt to live my life once more. Have you ever taken beta blockers? They want me to but, I'm afraid to take them . Should I ? Will something bad happen to me if I don't need them?

I have no idea whether you should be taking them or not. The effects of Beta blockers are not my forte. Remember the info that I found when I did that bit of research? It didn't look good. The thing to do is have a talk with your doctor and see what he recommends or why. Tell him your fears. Then talk with your hubby about it and see what he thinks.

You are so young to be having this problem. It's not fair, it's just really not fair at all. I think you must be even more concerned than you were before. My heart goes out to you Sis! You are suffering worse than me. At least I know I am still safe when I have a panic attack.

I read, or I saw a post on Facebook that said what to do when you have a heart attack. It said to remain upright, so sit in an upright chair and cough hard. If you lay down it is dangerous, and coughing is supposed to work the heart muscle. So when you get into a panic attack, I suppose, take in a deep breath and cough like you are coughing your guts up purposely. It may give you extra time for the ambulance to arrive.

And make sure your mobile is charged at all times. God bless you and keep you safe. For my own selfish reasons, I want you and need you to stay in the life.

Don't get angry either, because it can cause an attack up to 2 hours later.

So far I haven't touched them.Funny thing is the doctor asked me how have I been sleeping i told her I dont get to sleep until about one then i get up about four or five she shook her head and wrote it down but said nothing,maybe the buspar when i get it is suppose to help with that I dont know.

She would have marked it down on your medical records. She was thinking, that is not enough sleep. She will be mulling it over in her head what is best to do and the next time she sees you I wouldn't be surprised if she asks how you have been sleeping again. Remember you can always give them a call to ask if the meds you bought over the counter will be okay with your other meds.

Maybe I'm just overreacting and it will be all okay, but I just think it's better to be safe than sorry.

No no that is fine you are not overreacting i appreciate your kind thoughts ....

No no that is fine you are not overreacting i appreciate your kind thoughts ....

God bless you, Carol, then please do me a wee favour and phone your doctors' practice and ask them if they are compatible with your other meds. If they give the all clear then you know you've got a pill that works.

If you could get a pill that works and you manage to get some sleep, it may make you a lot calmer, less irritable and less anxious when you do have to go out. When you have some good sleep you will be able to handle things like remotes and PC problems with a clearer and calmer mind.

I just decided for now not to take them until i see my doctor in two weeks,if they dont work what is the point.Maybe i should get a hammer to knock myself out lol.OH I know if i got more sleep I would feel better last night i just took one of my klonopin and it helped sometimes it does and sometimes it doesnt.

I've been thinking about when you get the shakes Carol. It may be also because of the pills you are on for your anxiety. I was on Sertraline before and they gave me the shakes so much I couldn't hold a cup of coffee without spilling it!

The pills I am on now are not so bad. I do feel a little shaky sometimes. It helps when I feel like that to place my feet firmly flat on the ground.

After I had my server fall I couldnt even hold a glass it would just slip out of my hand because of the shakes they had to make special utensils for me,because whenever I went to eat i would shake and they would just fall out of my hand,I couldnt even hold a glass of orange juice.I think my fall may have had something to do with the shakes can u imagine not being able to hold anything that is how bad it was,sometimes even now when I go to grab something it slips right threw my hands.I am on inderol for that,it is also used for my blood pressure You know when I was in the nursing home one of the nurses accused me of faking it ,I was so angry I told my mom and she went and had a talk with this bitch suddenly she was nice to me but you know what i wouldnt say anything to her i dont need to fake anything.Just because I didnt shake all of the time she thought i was lying,I hate it when people think just because we are mentally ill we make things up.Isn t that just plan awful??

Well I did manage to do something today I sat outside outside for about four and a half hours,no more catapillars either.thank god I did talk to a couple of people they told me i looked nice that made me feel good.

 

[janemariesayed]

It isn't often that I shake like that. It's mostly when I need to eat. When I'm holding a cup or something it wobbles then but it is not as bad as you are going through. No where near as bad. I can't begin to imagine how it must feel to be like that all the time. It must be frustrating and annoying, to say the least.

I haven't managed to sit outside for a few days now. Some summer huh? My garden won't be honoured with my presence again today either as it is really windy and overcast. It rained all afternoon yesterday and all night. I enjoyed sitting by the window though and watching the rain while I was on the phone with my brother! As much as I love the rain, I prefer it to be sunny in the summer!

 

[XmasCarol52]

Also that bad fall that I had caused me to shake a lot so I am on inderol for that.It is suppose to help with blood pressure and shaking.I am low on meds so i wont be able to get them for at least two to three weeks,meds here are so darn expensive they wanted get this 300 dollars for a bottle of januvia only 90 pills so I have to go without,what can you do.

 

[janemariesayed]

Thank the Gods we get help in the UK. I don't know what I would do if I lived over there. I don't only get my meds for free, but they get delivered to my house once a week. So I don't even have to go out for them. I really do appreciate these things in life.

 

[XmasCarol52]

I did hear that you get meds free.How does that work.I mean someone has to pay for them.In the US you have to pay for everything.
