Sick & Tired of Being Sick & Tired, But!

Posted by SusanEllen66 @SusanEllen66, Sep 4 11:21pm

Just this year alone, I have been diagnosed with Ataxia, Alzheimer’s Dementia, and now I have a blood oxygen issue. In February I had to have surgery on my left hand. The Sagittal band across my knuckles got loose after one session of hand therapy.

And on it goes…the Neuro-optometrist made me glasses with prisms
to help with my double vision. I wore them over the weekend and fell several times…

I’m happy to say that I’m handling all this very well. If I didn’t have Jesus in my life I would be a puddle of fear.

Ok, now I’m yawning and it’s time for sleep… Blessings

That is a lot to deal with within such a short time period? Were you injured during the fall? I’ve been reading about prism glasses. Will you continue to wear them?

I’m sorry you are having so many troubling issues. You sure do have a good attitude. I know that prayer and mindfulness help me tremendously. I sure do hope things turn around for you and you can get better. Blessings to you as well!

It sounds like you've been through a lot with your health, but your strength and faith are truly inspiring. Despite the challenges, you're handling it with grace, and your resilience shines through. Wishing you peace, healing, and rest. Blessings to you!

so sorry that you are dealing with so much.

I too get by through prayer.

I have a huge number of very very serious health problems

One thing that helps me is to forcibly focus on the here and now and what I can do. Not compare my life now to what it was like before I had the symptoms.

That comparison is like mild torture.

So, I try to focus my mind away from those comparisons.

Dear @SusanEllen66

—> HOWS BEEN THERE? < —
I read your stuff with problems-over-problems. Hey, I’m already there and have problems-over-problems: my brain broken, my memory is gone, falling down ever second, can’t drive again, hate eating of raw onions… and on…

—-> WHAT HAPPENED? < —-
‘Sick and Tired” - I don’t feel “sick”, but I’m already “tired” from my anti-seizure meds that make me getting/feeling “tired” and sleep more than “normal” people; regular folks sleep 6-8 hours a day; I’m sleep 9-10 hours a day.

—-> WHAT DOE THIS? < —-
Are you really “sick” or it is physical, mental health (brain-problems), emotional problems - like me? Your spiritual side is fantastic with His Holy Spirit in you. The rest of it breaks off problems like:

1. Glass Prism - I’m there too. My 2 eyes are not together. My left-eye is straight but my right-eye turns on another one that doesn’t fit as “normal” people.

2. ATAXIA - Different walking or an unbalance. I’m there two. I feel down in my garage in the rear-ends called down on my wooden steps. Know more cutting our grass or walking thru iur area and taking care of my doggies.

3. Blood Oxygen - For me, my blood is A-OK.

4. SAGITTAL - Skull Bones? Yes, from my accident, 12 years ago, I became a TBI member that changed my life. Some drilled my head from the left to the right side. I’ve been there and I’m there, this moment… and I hope having a new day tomorrow.

5. Alzheimer’s Dementia - Diagnosed? I hope not. Your memory of writing these names or words is good for you. It takes me hours to write this… re-read over-&-over, then check the google search to understand the word that you wrote. My mom and 2-3 aunts has the same brain-problem “Alzheimer’s Dementia”. I hope this won’t happen to me,

You said problem=over-problem, I’m there too. But your memory and understand what words mean. I’m not there. After my accident I lost my brain-hearing or understanding. It took me the 3 next years, God has given great things and move my brain was or is way better.

Well, thank-you,
Greg D. @greg1956

PS: shoot, I was trying to add decent photos, but the MAYO Clinic program adds & adds. I’m not sure how to delete the other pictures, but here’s some of them.

I don’t think I understand your point.
Are you comparing my stuff with yours? Do you feel like I should not be sick and tired?
You certainly did a good job reading my posts.
One thing people need to remember about dementia. In the early stage, a person still has strong abilities. You see my good side right now. Other areas are lacking.
I get annoyed when people challenge my diagnosis. The MRIs, MRA, EEG, and PET-scan all confirm the diagnosis.

Feeling sick and tired sometimes is human. I’m not a perfect human being, however, my relationship with Jesus Christ gives me forgiveness when I forget WHOSE I am.
Blessings
