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!
