Disabling symptoms since distal bicep repair surgery. Any suggestions?

Sorry to bother you but my psychiatrist has me on Mirtazapine 90mg Valium 5mg Seraquel XR 100mg and Seraquel IR at night I struggle to get out of bed and have tremors in arms/hands and thick/light head every morning

Hello, I'm not quite sure if you have a question, but you might want to inquire here: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/getting-off-of-seroquel where others are using these meds.

I have had too many surgeries to share but the recovery from the anesthesia have been very different each time. I have even woken up during one surgery. Symptoms I have suffered have been very different to none at all. I said all of that to suggest you talk to the doctor/nurse who administered the anesthesia.

I recently had a small stroke. It was deep in the white matter of my brain. I am now on aspirin for blood thinning and a blood pressure medication. I am pretty freaked out about this experience. I am 71 years old and live by myself. Has anyone else had this experience? Did you tell me about what it was and What you are doing now?

Hi all, just wanted to post a quick update- unfortunately I am still experiencing the same symptoms and have been unable to return to work or live a functioning life for the past 10 weeks. I have had extensive testing done and been put on many additional meds over the past couple of weeks, but without any positive results (and with quite a few negative ones). My heart rate continues to be very low during the episodes, which are most of the day now, though have become somewhat less intense. I recently drove out of town to an integrated medicine clinic specializing in hormones to get extensive testing done for imbalances, which my local doctors wouldn’t order. I don’t know if it will show any results, but I am of course desperate to try anything at this point. I am also going to try acupuncture in a couple of weeks for the same reason. I will say that the local doctors are trying, but they just can’t pin it down. Anxiety treatments have provided no relief, nor has corticosteroid or antibiotic treatments. My doctors all pretty much agree that this isn’t anxiety given the symptoms, failure of treatments, low heart rate etc., but at this point all they can offer is a SSRI…. I head to Iowa city university hospital at the end of next week so I am really hoping the doctor I am seeing will have an idea as to what is going on…. That’s it for now and I will update once progress is made. I have to believe that the docs will figure this out because the alternative is not doable…. Thanks all!

I've had tia,s strokes that go away and one that didn't. I take horse chestnut for strengthen ING veins it works advised by a vascular surgeon. Aspirin caused bruising don't worry. I'm 72 so I understand. Do u have a life monitoring device ice? Take it easy. Take care

Thank you for the reply. Until this surgery I was in pretty good health and was a happy, active person. It’s been a really rough period and the physical symptoms that resemble panic/anxiety are the worst. I’ve also noticed that my balance has gotten worse over the past week and I have constant ringing in ears, pulsatilla tinnitus in left ear in the mornings and spells of vertigo. So those are fairly recent additions to the laundry list of symptoms. I am hoping and praying that Iowa City hospitals can figure this out and get at least effective treatments for the worst of the symptoms so I can get my life back. I’ll keep you all posted and appreciate the thoughts! I hope you feel better soon and regain your health as well

Good afternoon all. I’m not sure who, if anyone, is still following this thread but I figured I’d provide another update in case anyone out there with similar symptoms is looking for answers and wondering what progress I’ve made…. My symptoms are still very much the same and every morning feels like a life or death situation and absolute torture to get through. The afternoons are a bit better but I typically feel very nauseated and shaky, with a very “nervous” feeling that endures until the evening/night. Nights get better and normally by the time I go to bed I feel pretty decent and think maybe I am finally over whatever this is. Then morning comes and by 3AM it all starts again. As far as what has been discovered- unfortunately not much. I did get into Iowa City hospitals and had a couple of great doctors who believe my issues are neurological. I am scheduled for a continuous EEG in a few weeks to look for epilepsy as they think my “episodes” are in fact seizures. As much as that scares me to think about, I welcome a diagnosis at this point and will deal with whatever they discover- I just pray that SOMETHING is discovered…. Labs have also shown that I have very low B12, for which I am now taking injections. No improvement yet but it is early. Other than that, I continue to put one foot in front of the other and just fight like hell to make it through each minute of each day. Well, I shouldn’t say “fight” as I have pretty much lost hope at this point. More like just “exist” each day! I truly hope all is well with you all, and those of you who are suffering are finding relief. I probably won’t post again unless there is a breakthrough I can share that may help you kind folks. Take care and God bless!

Thank you for the update @stevetaylor721. I'm praying that they find some answers for you and a treatment that provides some relief. Looking forward to your next update.

Thank you Sir
