Can someone loan me some good vibes?

[ThomCat]

I'm in a weird place right now and honestly I'm a bit concerned.

I keep losing my balance and I'm lightheaded. My reaction time is very slow right now. I feel weird in a different way from any of the normal kinds of weird.

My nephew isn't home, so I've got nobody to keep an eye on me. They way I feel right now I've got a hunch someone should be keeping an eye on me.

I've had a daily migraine every single day for a couple of weeks now with one dayas an exception. So, between the headaches themselves and the side effects of the migraine meds I should be used to having all kinds of weird sensations in my head. But this feels different. If this is migraine related then my migraines are now doing something new. If it's not migraine related then I don't know what's going on.

I'd stay awake tonight if I could, but my meds are knocking me out. I really don't feel good about going to sleep while something new is developing. :(

So please keep your fingers crossed that I'm just worrying over nothing. But please send me some lounge vibes anyway.

Thank you.

[Redbear]

1. Vibes and prayers for you.

May you feel better soon.

[ThomCat]

3. Thank you very much.

I'm cynically convinced that I'm never allowed to feel better ever again, but I'd at least like to feel bad in ways I understand and can handle. :P

[MissMillie]

2. all kinds of vibes coming at you, my friend

:hug:

much love to you...

I'm sure you'll feel better tomorrow.

[ThomCat]

5. I would like to hope so.

I could really, truly use a day of feeling better sometime soon. I'm getting worn down. :(

:hug:

[lizziegrace]

4. Oh Thom...

please call me when you wake up in the morning. If I don't hear from you by (tell me the time...), I'm calling a squad.

Gawd I wish we lived closer. :(

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

6. Loan? Heck, I'll GIVE 'em.

Hang in there. Hope you feel better soon.
:hug:

[FloridaJudy]

7. Hugs and good vibes on their way.

Take care of yourself. Do want someone to call you in the morning? Just PM me, if so.

[KitchenWitch]

8. Thom, I am holding you close to me.

I wish I could be there to watch over you.

:hug:

[Fire Walk With Me]

9. You know it.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

10. Of course.

:hug: :hug:

[lizziegrace]

11. Check your PM

can you call me?? I just talked to Thom.

[Connonym]

12. Loads of good vibes coming your way

As LizzieGrace mentioned -- please check back with us in the morning to let us know all is okay. I hope you have refreshing sleep tonight and that tomorrow is a good day. :hug:

[lizziegrace]

13. ****Please double up on those vibes****

Thomcat rarely expresses concern about his conditions. I talked to him on the phone and he doesn't sound good.

Please keep him close in your prayers and thoughts. I'll be checking in with him during the night.

I'll keep y'all posted.

:(

16. Thanks lg

I adore Thom. I wish there was more we could do for him.

[lizziegrace]

17. Me too...

:hug:

[marzipanni]

25. lizziegrace- thanks for watching out for ThomCat- can he or someone who can

talk to him call an advice nurse? Or at the very least maybe call an all night pharmacy where the pharmacist would be able to tell if this could be from one of his medications, or a drug interaction?

I googled those symptoms and the results do mention these symptoms as side effects from several drugs, just on the first two pages.

[lizziegrace]

29. Thank you...

Thom is on high doses of controlled substances for chronic pain as the result of an accident several years ago. He is getting progressively worse. I asked if I could call during the night and he said the "jerking" of being startled awake would aggravate the pain and make it worse. I'm supposed to call him at 8am eastern to check on him. I'm guessing his doctor will be the next call.

I'll let everyone know.

[lizziegrace]

15. Kick...

humor me. I'm very worried. x(

[FloridaJudy]

18. Me too.

It's not like Thom to complain. He must be feeling really awful. I worry about him.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

19. My dear ThomCat...

Of course, you've got them, sweetie...

And I'll join the chorus in wishing I could be there, to watch over you and help...

:hug: :hug:

[CreekDog]

20. i hate when my head feels weird

Feel better soon friend! :)

[KT2000]

26. Good vibes and you can

keep them - permanently.
Sounds like it's time to see the doctor.
Please do.

[Monk06]

27. Sounds like the meds have lowered your blood pressure. I'd lie down

with my legs elevated and see if the spinners
go away.

[BlueIris]

28. Please have this large pile of good vibes, courtesy of BlueIris. nt

[Callalily]

[yy4me]

33. Please go to a doctor immediately. An Emergency clinic or

some medical facility to be evaluated. If money is the object, tell them so. Your life may be at stake. I would be very concerned that you are ignoring a symptom of something that you should be paying attention to. Maybe your meds are not working together and this is a reaction. Maybe it is nothing. Worrying about it is not the wise thing to do, get thee to a doctor. I felt just as you described once several years ago and it turned out to be a very bad reaction to a medicine the Doc prescribed. It raised havoc with something else I was taking. It is now in my "severe allergy" list.

[lizerdbits]

34. I hope it's nothing

but let us know how you're doing this morning. :hug:

[La Lioness Priyanka]

35. what happened?

[lizziegrace]

37. Very dizzy and disoriented last night

he sounded like he was struggling to put sentences together. He's a bit better this morning but still not okay. His doctors are closer to his office than his house, so it's probably a good thing he has to go into work today.

[Maraya1969]

55. Please don't worry too much Thom. I'm on meds and I've had experiences

where I've been very dizzy. I even wrote about the other day when I fell flat into a concrete step and really scraped my knees, (I said it was because I was reading but seriously, who can't see one concrete step even if they are reading?) Especially if you've been to that store hundreds of times.

You sound so much like me in that you freak over every new sensation and think it is really really bad.

You are fine Thom. From one nut to another. :hug:

[ThomCat]

57. If it was just dizzyness I would not have been worried.

I couldn't put words together to speak. I could find the words when I tried to type them, but I couldn't find what they sounded like to say them. I'm still having problems speaking. It's getting better, but I sound like someone who had a stroke. I've been going back and forth between hot and cold flashes, going from shivering to a heavy sweat in just a few minutes. The dizzyiness has lasted 24 hours now and comes with a weird pressure in my head that doesn't hurt. And my physical reaction time was slowed way down.

My neurologist thinks that I'm having side effects from two meds that suppress neurological activity, and that fed off of the peripheral effects of repeated migraines.

I've been put on 1 week of heavy meds to "shock your system to break the migraine cycle," and she's changing my doses on a bunchy of my meds to reduce the side effects.

I wish I was just freaking about about dizzyness. :(

[LoveMyCali]

58. I'm so glad that you're feeling well enough to post

I hope that the different meds help you feel better soon.

Sending positive vibes and hoping you're better soon.

:hug:

[Haole Girl]

56. Oh, I just saw this...

any update? Thom, if you read this, I hope you are ok.

Sending massive healing vibes for you! :hug:
