Since the end of January, I seem to have been losing
ground. I can still walk, though I use a cane more often. I probably
actually have more strength, but my energy (when I have it) doesn't last long,
and I often feel week and really dizzy, even when I'm sitting. Something
doesn't feel right, but it's kind of vague.
I don't have any real pain -
just the soreness under my rib cage and the irritating tingling and
burning in my legs/feet - I can handle that. Compared to many of your
challenges, a little dizziness is nothing. But I'm
concerned that I need to get back to work before too long, and I can't imagine
working even 4 hours/day, the way I'm feeling. If I have an appointment,
or have to get groceries, etc., it's about all I can do in one day! And I
try to schedule things every other day, so I'm not totally wiped out. Is
this typical, or just me? (The latter isn't new - just the dizziness is
new.)
When the weakness/dizziness hits me, I have to lay
down to feel better, even though perhaps just 15 minutes before,
I may have felt fairly normal. The only meds I take is OTC Senna
S. In the hospital (9 mos ago) they started me with 6/day. I've
managed to get down to 3/day, but am wondering if taking it for so long might be
affecting me this way.
Anyone have any experience with this feeling, or with
Senna S, or have any suggestions?
Thanks,
Sally
