mom4cem Posted April 9, 2006 Report Share Posted April 9, 2006 Wish I could say more than sorry you are feeling so bad. On top of the rush,rush of moving and now maybe coming down with something...blah. Maybe some virus that is also affecting inner ear..hence the rocking/moving feeling?Keep getting the rest and fluids. Two things you do already do with POTS but need to do with a virus too.Hugs to you and hope this passes soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Julia59 Posted April 9, 2006 Report Share Posted April 9, 2006 I'm so sorry you have to keep going through this-----------------------it's making me mad to see you so sick---this is not fair.............. I wish I could take all this suffering away from you----you deserve a permanant break from this mess. But I must say you do not seem to have much a a break between these spells if any.I really want to see you feel better---enough is enough. I'm thinking of that movie---"Napolean Dynamite"----and that nurdy guy who was always saying "gosh" every time something dissapointing happened. I think your situation is beyond "gosh". I'm sending HUGS and prayers your way-------------->---HUGS HUGS HUGSMaybe try some ice on your neck, and the back of your head----heck, it can't hurt.Try and hang in there.........Julie :0) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

laila Posted April 10, 2006 Report Share Posted April 10, 2006 How long have you been on the lyrica. I took one dose of that one time and felt like in a drunken stupor till next afternoon. Just a thought. Feel better you poor thing. I had an awful stomach like virus that lasted 5 days and I never puked but felt nauseous and crampy and just wanted to sleep and could barely eat. I thought it was just another one of my epidsodes but then my daughter got it to a lesser degree. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dizzygirl Posted April 10, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2006 I'm starting Lyrica tomorrow.. as my b/f is home most of the week.. and I will feel safer taking it knowing that somebody will be here with me in the event that i get an allergic reaction..as i tend to have delayed allergic reactions sometimes..then i have severe allergic reactions.. UGHSo tomorrow I will start taking it.. and hopefully it will help me not hurt me!! I'm starting on alow dose.. 25 mg twice a day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramakentesh Posted May 6, 2006 Report Share Posted May 6, 2006 my advice is to get some licorice into you - should help support you through the rough times. I myself have had a pots crash from the flu - it always gets worse after a cold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ariella Posted May 7, 2006 Report Share Posted May 7, 2006 hi!Was there too last wek. It seemed that the contents of any closet I opened fell on my head. I was post-strep infection. Plus the heat can't be helping. Gotta love the feeling of not being able to focus your eyes. Anyone else wonder if other people can notice when we can't focus our eyes???are you feeling any better yet?Ariella Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
