Hello everyone,
PLEASE HELP!!!
I am 38yo.Since age 20 I started suffering from a misery illness.I have visited all health professionals but no one even came closer to understanding my symptoms.
I was a very bright girl at school then all of a sudden I started going down intellectually.I couldn't pass my exams anymore.I struggle whenever I try to study my books.
I had no problems whatsoever that could contribute to that.I had no idea what was happening since it wasn't anything physical.I just continue to live life and nothing else.I forget about my books and thought I could concentrate on something else like work,trade etc but then realise I wasn't the person I used to be who is so good at everything.I noticed also that I make alot of mistake even when doing simple things like cooking.still I struggle to see my problem because is not physical and same way everyone else like my family stuggles to accept my problem because they only see my short comings but nothing else.I need help.I will describe my symptoms and please do come to my AID if you know what this might me as my life is just STAND STILLl.I can't be me or do things like me.
SYMPTOMS:
DURING SLEEP I FEEL LIKE AM STILL AWAKE EVEN THOUGH AM ASLEEP.
I SEE ALOT OF DREAMS THE WHOLE NIGHT THROUGH
I WAKE UP EACH MORNING WITH SONGS DEEP INSIDE THE RIGHT SIDE OF MY BRAIN
I STRUGGLE TO TAKE ON ANY TASK AS SIMPLE AS MAKING TEA ESPECIALLY IN THE MORNINGS.
I WILL STAY IN A CONFUSED STATE FOR FEW HOURS EACH MORNING BEFORE I WILL START TO FEEL LESS CONFUSED FEW HOURS AFTER.
THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE BRAIN FEELS DIFFERENT FROM THE OTHER SIDE.
MY MIND WILL BE RACING ALOT IN THE MORNINGS.
I ACTED MENTALLY SLOW AND DULL IN THE MORNINGS.
SONGS STUCKS IN MY RIGHT SIDE OF THE BRAIN EACH TIME I HEAR A SONG
MY THINKINGS FEEL CLOUDED AND BRAIN FEELS FOGGY.
I CAN'T CONCENTRATE ON ANYTHING I DO.
Hi Ruth,
Wheat can play nasty tricks on the body and mind included. Get your doctor to do a TTG blood sample and start from there for a diagnosis for Celiac Disease. Gut issues can cause/mimic many different illnesses including depression - I know, I have Celiac Disease and I was a complete mess before getting the diagnosis. You will get better, just don't give up, continue to fight for yourself because no one else knows yourself better than you!
Keep me updated on how you are doing or just for a simple Hi
thanks queen420.i will get the check.
Wondering if you're still there and holding on. I keep finding posts from people suffering from this strange condition. I know what you're experiencing because this happened to me 5 years ago and progressed to the point where I lost the ability to talk for 10 days. I was locked in my head unable to connect words to my mouth. Unlike many people here I found my way back from it. Yes. The buzzing/whirring sound in the right side of my brain got so loud I began to stutter. I understand what you said about songs getting stuck. But not entire songs. Tiny 3 second fragments of a songs playing OVER AND OVER in a cyclic manner until you feel you're losing your mind. Forgetting how to do the most simple and base things you've done your entire life. Never truly falling asleep. Hovering between sleep and being awake all night. Unable to clearly verbalize things you're thinking. Socially withdrawing because you can't keep up in conversations anymore. I really do understand. If you're still out there please respond and I'll tell you what I've figured out. Doctors (and I went to MANY) did me no good. I had to figure it out myself. I think I can offer you some assistance. Maybe together we can compare notes and with others who've suffered with this we can bring awareness to it. Because it's real and it's a problem. Hope to hear from you. I'm following this thread and will be notified if you post. Big Hugs. Things can change.
