I swear it is air pressure changes that affects my HMS more than if it is rainy or sunny. If it changes from one to the other it knocks me on my back about 36 hours before the change.NeoMorphhttp://ethicalgamer.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8913410527801032443.post-71298842948955549482010-07-08T17:03:20.855-07:002010-07-08T17:03:20.855-07:00I had to give up work as a programmer because I ju...I had to give up work as a programmer because I just wouldn't know what I was going to be like from one day to the next. Some days I would be raring to go... others I would be stuck in bed and just going to the loo felt like a trip to the north pole.<br /><br />I have just got off Amitrip because it was making me too damned dopy all the time... I used to take it to help stop migraine as well but recently been having painkiller rebound headaches... so taking painkillers causes migraine... you just can't win!<br /><br />Here is what I did to counter not being able to get out of bed... I installed a 2x4 piece of wood on the side of my bed and fitted a flexi mount and a 23" monitor which is attached to an Acer Revo 3610 PC. With a wireless mouse and keyboard it lets me keep in touch with the world while my body is "out of phase" as it were...NeoMorphhttp://ethicalgamer.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8913410527801032443.post-49714426163475599772010-07-06T23:00:41.295-07:002010-07-06T23:00:41.295-07:00Yep the energy/fatigue problems affect me more tha...Yep the energy/fatigue problems affect me more than the dislocations. If i didnt have such severe fatigue i would probably be able to work at least half a week.<br />I have phases as well where my energy is none existant for a couple of weeks and Im stuck in bed sleeping for most of the time. Then i might have a few weeks where my energy is really good and i manage to get through most days without needing to nap.<br />I have really bad insommnia which doesnt help (Brad Tinkle says in his book on hms that insommnia is very common in hms). I tend to just get 1-2 hours sleep which obviously makes the fatigue much worse.<br /><br />My specialist wants in increase my amytriptaline again to help me sleep better but it makes me more tired during the day so im reluctant to do this as it will mean I;l be comatose most of the time.Carriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06496819852705481151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8913410527801032443.post-17023599681977523482010-07-06T22:51:51.610-07:002010-07-06T22:51:51.610-07:00"The past week as been a tough one energy wis..."The past week as been a tough one energy wise. I've spent most the week in bed and have slept through an entire day twice."<br /><br />Damn, I thought I was the only one who experienced this with HMS... to the point that I feel like I am lazy (especially after a friend said that I was just being slothy, whatever that means heh).<br /><br />Some days I fight just to keep my darn eyes open and will read a few pages of a book, have a sleep for an hour or two then a few more pages, then another sleep... repeated all through the day (like yesterday in fact). <br /><br />Basically I feel like someone has borrowed a few of my batteries and I'm running on empty!NeoMorphhttp://ethicalgamer.comnoreply@blogger.com
