I was going to illustrate this post. It was going to be grand and humorous, but I've been so fatigued that I can't find the will. Long story short... I've been having chest pain. It got so bad that I thought I was having a heart attack one day. I got put on anxiety medicine and anti-seizure medication. I also got diagnosed with Acid-Reflux. I was told that taking my acid reflux medicine at least 30 minutes before breakfast and dinner on an empty stomach would help with the heartburn, the nausea, and supplement the anxiety medicine for my chest pain. I've been taking it for about 2 weeks.
But 3 days ago I had the most insane pain just above where my stomach is, in between the ribs where they taper out. I'm not very good with anatomy, but I thought I must have ulcers. The pain lasted 2 solid days and got much worse after I ate and when I first woke up in the morning. At any rate I've stopped taking the acid reflux medicine. It didn't seem to be doing me any good. If anything things seemed to be getting worse. My husband's worried, because I haven't been eating very much. The discomfort in my upper abdominals and the nausea saps my appetite any time I think I might be hungry... and when I do eat I get heartburn.
I always have fatigue, and it's been much worse since last August. Today I feel like I can hardly even move.
The fun part of the post was going to illustrate how I felt during my anxiety attack from a week and a half ago... but I'm too tired. I'm so tired.
