Rough Night

[Bluesbrkr]

Hey everyone,

Wow... I had a really rough night last night. I had about 6 - 8 simple partials over night, leaving me exhausted, achy, and wide awake. Had horrible reflux that came up into my throat several times and burned like crazy. That made me cough all night, so the throat is rather raw today. I think I managed about an hour of sleep and kept waking my poor wife up all night, so I felt terrible about that as well. She understands, but I still feel bad about it.

I was late to work today because I could barely move, much less get up and get ready to go. Fortunately, my boss is very understanding and sympathetic to my medical condition. We've been good friends for several years, so I am blessed there. Between the horrible night and the lovely side effects of the meds, I'm in pretty bad shape today.I'm sitting at my desk, unable to focus... exhausted, and feeling like crap. My head is killing me and I'm pretty much not able to get anything accomplished today.

Not sure why I felt I needed to post this, but I know you all know exactly what I'm going through and I guess this is one of the few places I can talk about it with people who understand. So I'm looking forward to several more simple partials today and tonight just from the exhaustion and stress. I might be on here tonight pounding my head on the wall and being frustrated. If I am, and you are as well, hopefully we can support each other, share a few jokes, and get through it. I'm just glad tomorrow is Saturday so at least I can sleep a lot over the weekend.

Thanks for listening to me moan and groan a bit. Helps just to get it out.

Hi!
Sorry to hear you're having a rough time right now. Glad you can be here to vent and get support from others. I hope you have a relaxing weekend so you can recover quickly.

Sorry you are feeling so bad. Been there-done that-not even fun. The good news is that you can vent here. It seems to make me feel better, since I cannot explain to people around me what a seizure feels like, or what kind of a toll it takes. Hope you get a lot of sleep, and have a good weekend. Feel better soon.

Hi, there.

Please do vent. It cleanses the mind and the soul.

There is no way to candy coat it. Seizures suck. Especially nocturnal seizures. I'm so sorry you are going through all that. I wish I could take it away. All I can do is send a big hug your way. And maybe a sam's club mega-container of ibuprofin.

Hang in there. And update us, okay? Let us know how you are doing.
