Marsha,
Thanks so much for your response. Yes, we sound so much a like. Makes me feel better already-- not better that YOU suffer this way-- but better because I am not alone!
I thought something was interesting that you wrote- about the progesterone. Right before all this started with me, I had a dear friend SWEAR up and down (and sideways) that my PMS and cycles would be ooh so great if I rubbed this progesterone cream into my skin every night.I did it. I'm only 27 so no premenopause stuff yet, I just did it because she swore it suddenly caused her to grow a halo (LOL). Anyway, I've always had a sneakin' suspicion that the cream whacked my system/hormones/endocrine system all up and put me in this state.
But maybe I'm wrong. I have no idea.
Oh, and also I do feel normal- some days I feel normal all day long. It's weird. It comes and goes.I usually feel okay in the mid morning/afternoon for about 4 hours. The strange thing is that I start running a fever (low grade) and that's when the "weirdness" kicks in.
I don't know what's related to what. If I am bipolar, I suspect that it's still much more than that. I don't think bipolar can give you fevers, weight loss, high white counts, rashes, etc..
ROFL
My other suspicion is that I'm some freak of nature. ROFL
No seriously, I am just trying to work on this daily with the Lord and lots of prayer. I wish I could see a psychiatrist but our insurance only covers half and I'd have to drive over 35 miles to get one! It's ridiculous around here.
I imagine if all these other roads lead to a complete dead end (specialists, etc..) I will have no choice.
I am going to see a nutritionist this week- I am doing chiropractic care for my fibromyalgia and occasionally do massage therapy as well.
I just have to take this one day at a time. It's hard though. Life won't just stand still for me to feel better.Thank you for listening and sharing! It's already made me feel better. You sure have a lot on your plate as well. I'll make sure to be praying for you.
((((hugs))))
