Anxiety Issues

This is week 5 of being on this Imunovir pill, however, this is the week I am off it so things are chill for now. I sang for my friend's first mass on Sunday and was so nervous, but did fine which was great! It was nice singing again. My nerves were shot from stage fright, but again I survived it and am glad I pushed myself to do it.
Since I last posted I've pretty much been experiencing the same fatigue issues, and now, if I didn't mention if before, I get throbbing headaches nearly every day. It's doubtful that the Imunovir was causing them since I get them even when I'm not taking them so who knows why they're starting up so much. I made an appointment with Dr. Gobbie today to see if my neck is out of alignment. Yes, I only have 5 sessions left, but I need to go see him. My body needs it.
Aside from those symptoms, my body seems to be experiencing this feeling of anxiety. It's as though my body is often in the fight or flight mode, but for no given reason. My heart is racy and yet nothing is wrong.
I go to see the natural doc today and will give his report when I get back later, but for now. tata...

Fabulous Lecture RE: CFS.

So sick of being tired

I'm not sure if it's the Imunovir or me, but my body is suffering more fatigue than I've felt in a long time. I don't mean just sleepiness, I mean extreme exhaustion and a sense that I can't even get myself up from a chair. It hit me last night about 2 am even though I was supposed to be asleep, I woke up with this sense of nervousness and dread and then I went to go to the bathroom and felt as though I was carrying a ten pound bag of bricks. Just like when you get anesthesia and are about to go to sleep. I tossed all night long and couldn't sleep at all. My husband is out of town for two days on business and I am home alone with the kids, which is going OK but never ideal. I'm doing the least amount possible so that I don't get too stressed and then aggravate my symptoms.
Also, I've started looking more into Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. The nat doc diagnosed me as having it, but I honestly haven't researched it much until recently. The sad thing about it is that no one knows what causes it or how to treat it. Great, however, I'm going to start praying that God will show someone the cure. It's so incredibly common and yet we still don't know anything about it save for what it does to people? Goes to show you how little we know even in our developed age.
Another symptom that I want to note is that I keep getting these twitches in my muscles all around my body. It was and still is on occasion in my left temple and now I feel like I have a baby kicking me in my tummy. There was another one in my left pointer toe a couple days ago. Just very random and odd places to be getting muscle spasms and so often too.
There is a mass I'm singing for this weekend and am very excited to be doing the solo communion hymn. This is something I've been wanting to do for years now and can't wait to get back into it, Rehearsals tonight and perform on Sunday! Wish me luck!

TFP makes me proud to be Catholic

God forgive them!Check out this Pro-marriage video.You know the saying actions speak louder than words, well this video is proof of it. For all the talk of Catholics being hate-filled, it's not hard to see who the real hate-filled folks are in this video. God save the USA from these horrible people.

Temple Twitches

Before going to bed last night, I noticed a very annoying twitch in my left temple. It actually seems to be above my ear, but radiates into the temple and makes my jaw twitch as well. It's still going on and have no idea what to do about it. I've had muscle spasms in my eye lid and in various parts of my body, but never here before.
Also, notices that I am getting little tiny blisters on my hands every morning again. They are red, slightly itchy and then go away in a day with little white dried skin scabs.
I really feel sick today though, almost like I am going to have an anxiety attack. My heart feels jittery and I am sensing that my adrenaline is pumping for some reason. It's like that fight or flight feeling I get when I want to get something done quickly. I tried calling an infectious disease doctor nearby to make an appointment, but they told me I need to have a referral to get one and I don't.
I took three Imunovirs this morning and am wondering if that is what's causing all these symptoms. It just that I want to feel better and I feel worse. What's happening to me?!

Father's Day Weekend Review

I had friends from back home over this weekend which was nice, but stressful too. We had five children under three in the house and it was a lot of work. I love having people over, but I just wish I had the stamina to deal with the stress that comes with it. Things were going well, save for the chronic headaches I had every day. I was off of Imunovoir for the past two days and yet I still got the headache. Ugh! Last night we went to bed around midnight, since we sat up talking with out friends, and then I got up twice in the night to go to the bathroom. And while I think the amount of sleep I got would have been enough sleep for me, I woke up today very tired and was dragging all day. And like I said before, besides being very tired, I got a splitting headache that lasted for hours. I tried to rest this afternoon, but it didn't give me any more energy :-(
With my chiro being limited, my neck pains are slowly coming back and I wonder if that's why I have the headaches.
I also noticed brown spots on my shin, leg and arm today. It might be caused by the Nattokinase or some other supplement, but I'm only guessing. The dizziness is also still with me and I am reconsidering having the tilt table test done. Being that the ENG showed that I have no inner ear conditions, it doesn't make sense that I would have dizziness so often at age 30. I read today that Chronic Fatigue Syndrome is linked with it, and I have been told by my natural MD that I have that, but what's causing that is still unknown.
At this point I am frustrated and just want to know who I can go to that can give me an answer. My mother tells me that I should see an infectious disease doctor, so that might just be my next stop. There is a huge wart that's been on the sole of my foot for 10 years and I want to have that removed asap, but I don't think that's associated with the other symptoms I've had in the last 10 months.
Stress levels were up this past week.

More symptoms

I have been on the Imunovir since Monday, again taking it two times a day. This week I found that more issues began to come up. For one, I've now started getting headaches everyday around 4pm. It can only be assumed that it's from the Imunovir since that's one of their possible side effects, but on top of that, I still am extremely weary and feel like napping every afternoon, which I never used to do before.
Also, there are now little itchy blisters on my hands every morning and they last throughout half the day and then go away. They are somewhat bothersome, but mostly just when I wake up. My hands also have begun swelling, though that might be due to my needing more water or to heat or some other factor.
My personal life has been ok.
We had our house exorcised by a Benedictine priest in the family since we've had odd events occur more recently and we felt that it would be good to clean our any unwanted guests. It's a little freaky, but that's why we have holy priests at our disposal right?
My son has been fussy and has this weird rash on his face. It surrounds his mouth and nose and is even starting to go up near his eyes. I have purchased oil of oregano since I read that might help heal it. I'm hoping it does since I don't like experimenting with medical ointments that might just make things worse.
Well, he is screaming for me to come give him his paci so I need to be going for tonight. Goodnight all and hope your lives are well.
