I haven't been feeling well off and on for a while- like a few months. Not feeling well as in this vague "have a broad symptom" cold type feeling.
But then there's been some nausea and some chest congestion involvement.
The past maybe 2-3 weeks it's gotten worse. Plus coughing. And my nose/throat/sinuses [yes literally my sinuses, like into my face] feel raw and stinging and just... hurty.
So then more headaches. My balance has been noticeably off past couple weeks or so. It's not like I'm falling over, but I am having to like, brace myself sometimes. I can't close my eyes when standing up and certainly not in the shower whichi is sort of sucky. Face pain on one side often before the worst of the headaches, I have trouble getting enough to drink.
I've had random nose bleeds on and off for several weeks- that started with a bad sinus infection... we think. But before the past couple months I don't even EVER remember having a nose bleed ever in my life.
The rest of the stuff is mostly things that have happened occasionally, but now it's happening like all the time with increasing intensity/more severe.
Feeling in my skin is weird- things seem semi-numb for longer periods and in large areas. I feel little areas of very hot or cold, and stinging spots. I am waking up feeling so awful and naseaus and confused, disoriented, head feeling so full and cottony and achey... I'm pretty sure I'm seizing in my sleep and that's BAD. That is actually extremely rare and it's never felt so bad even when it has happened- which hassn't been for at least four years.
I'm forgetting really basic words- like having to restructure sentencrs sometimes. I'm getting really confused. I'm getting disoriented about the time and stuff.
This doesn't sound like a big deal but this is all worse than it has ever been and it's to the point where it causes disruption and is actually upsetting me at the time it happens.
I'm also conflating my memories constatnly at this point. Not just a little confused about "was it you I was having that conversation with?" but having to sit and carefully dissect whether I was having a conversation ith somone, or I dreamed about something or whether the whole thin I'm thinking was something in a movie. And not just temporary confusion.
So... I see a new neurologist soon.
But in the meantime I'm actually really worried about what my brain is or is not doing. Like, for once I'm actually a big concerned and not just like "haha my brain's being a little weird, you know on vacation". My boyfriend is equally concerned and he just spent several days in neurology observation. SO THERE'S THAT. pfffft.
Because this isn't really funny right now and I am constantly exhausted. I actually don't think I have any jokes to make about this. For once.
