I woke up today after less than 3 hours of sleep last night and a 18 hour day yesterday, I have a 20 hour day today, and my brain is, how shall we say it? oh, right, dead.

I seem to be having some type of problem, I had a hallucination earlier today, I can't hear very well (everything is muffled) and I am seeing spots.

I checked my blood pressure and it's normal (112/60) so the spots are not from high blood pressure.

Anyway, I have to get a ton of stuff done today. I can't take a nap, and I can't take the day off.

I am pretty sure I am going to have to take a day off soon or I will go insane or something else inconvenient.

Anyone else have days like this? how do I fix this?

On a happy note I passed my kidney stone about an hour ago, so I am not in as much discomfort as I have been in lately.

Prehaps you have a middle ear infection.

lots of red bull and spaghetti?

Sorry I got nothing.

I didnt sleep well and forgot half the shit I needed to bring with me to work. Like the key to get in to work for instance.

...as opposed to the left or right ear.

have one of your friends watch the kids and go back to bed.

this counts as sick. if you had smallpox you would cancel your 20 hours worth of chores, think of this as the same thing. you arent going to do anything well and if you try something foolish like driving you will get into an accident.

sleep for 12 hours or so then check your mental abilities. if you still see spots, make an appointment with an ophthamologist. or your regular doctor if you have to for insurance reasons.

Bullshit you can't. Would you rather take a day or two now or a week or two after you're hospitalized?

Is it possible that your pain manifests itself in some other manner than other people? Like seeing spots and hallucinating?

I hope that whatever you need to do today is vital (otherwise you shouldnt push yourself that hard when your body and mind are already beyond their efficient limits today) but not very reliant on error free high quality work (otherwise you should not do it while hallucinating).

You dont have to fix this. If you keep pushing your physical limits it will fix itself. Damaging yourself is your choice though. My two cents worth is that I hope you can tolerate running your life in a way that does as little damage as possible. Slowing down a bit when you are overdoing it is not the same thing as surrendering.

You really ought to try to find a way to slip a nap in. Especially if you intend on driving anywhere today.

I seem to have been able to delegate most of the "have to be done today" things, I am not even going to think about the quality of work.....it's not my problem right?

I put the girls down for a nap, as soon as they are asleep I am laying down, if I still feel like this when they wake up, my husband is coming home from work. He wants to come home now, but I thought we should wait and see.

If you are still feeling like that, you ought to consider seeing a doctor because it could mean there's more than fatigue at work. *nod*

Hang on, I have done that before. You cannot do anything else but to brace yourself and try to be brave. I have 2 hours of sleep as I write this, and I don't expect to be in bed before 1:00 am tonight. Coffee is perhaps a..."paliative", as nestea, coke, red bull and the like. Cigarrettes work a lot for me, but you dont seem to be the smoking type, so...

That's common fatigue, continous exhaustation, no need for a doctor or medical treatment, I have suffered the same and there is no avail for it except for a deserved rest, although if you continue that style of living for more than two weeks you will in trouble for sure.

:( Seconded. Please take care.

do you need a hug?

:fluffle:

The kids woke up, and I held them off for a while by taking a shower and letting them watch a TV show while I did......anyway, in the shower I found a weird bug bite so then I started a load of laundry and found a dead spider in my bed....do you think it bit me? maybe I am having a weird reaction?

maybe. if there is enough of the spider left to identify call the poison control center and see if they can help you out. brown recluse can be a very bad bite.

Not out of the realm of possibility, but extraordinarily unlikely. Unless the spider looked like this:
http://home7.swipnet.se/~w-70531/Tolkien/shelob/shelob.GIF

Generally speaking, spider toxins of even the most dangerous spiders are nowhere near as dangerous as they're hyped to be. Oddly enough, the most toxic spider in the world is the Daddy Longlegs, and they don't bite. :p

edit: According to Wikipedia, that Daddy Longlegs thing is an urban myth. Damn them. :p

he is gone, I threw him away....didn't think about saving him

he was brown, chubby body, short legs........ probably about the size of a dime

"I can't take a nap but spend time on NSG."

Tell me, Smunkee - what's wrong with that sentence, huh?

Honestly, most of the stuff you've said are either stress-related or due to lack of sleep. That's your problem right there.

Sign off, turn your computer off, and go to sleep! Like, right now!!! That'll help you.

(I have had some stress-induced hearing problems, same goes for seeing colorful dots - sleep and relaxation helps tremendously, I can tell you!).

So, take it easier that you apparently do right now and you ought to be fine.

The worst I've heard of is the Brown Recluse ... Luckily, I don't think they run to the size of a dime, they're quite small. That makes them even more insidious, of course.

:( You probably didn't need to hear that ...

Hugs in the hope of a steadily improving day. ;)

and who will watch the children while I am sleeping?

I can put off everything else, I did anyway, it probably is going to stress me out that I did, but I did it.

NSG is keeping me awake. My kids are smart, but they can't be left without any supervision for hours at a time.

*momentarily alarmed* Short legs you say?

*relaxes* Good. If it had longer legs, it could have been this guy:

Though I haven't heard of people having the symptoms you describe, that would have been bad. *nod*

Drug them. :)

well, my husband is on his way home, so maybe I won't have to resort to child abuse ;)


I called my doctor and he said "I told you 6 months ago that this would happen" and hung up on me. What the heck is up with that?!

...as opposed to the left or right ear.

Anyway, the title of this thread reminds me of the Kylie Minogue song "Love at First Sight." (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HdHjKr5szVY) Kooky, but thank you Smunkee.

I think you need coffee.

See, that's the biggest problem with homeschooling kids.

Now, shouldn't every household have enough of this in case of a terror attack? That'll keep your kids safe while you take the long deserved nap!!!

Why did you see him six months ago?

Why did you see him six months ago?
The question should be: Why didn't she do what he told her to six months ago.

Doesn't sound like something "just happening now", but more "if you continue like this and don't change your ways, the following will happen", which stage, apparently, has been reached now.

Poor Smunkee... today, I'm operating on less than 2 hrs sleep... and I HAVE to be nice to IDIOTS!

don't know what would cause the spots, but becareful and be safe.

Ahh... Duct Tape... the perfect example of the force.

there's a light side, and a dark side... and it's what holds the universe together. :D

could be, too bad you threw it away...

if your symptoms don't improve, I suggest getting checked out...

by a doctor that is...

Why did you see him six months ago?
I passed out in the grocery store. He called me back a few minutes ago and said

"you don't sleep enough, you don't eat regularly, and if you die before you hit 30 ,I wouldn't be surprised"

he is pushing to admit me to the hospital, which means that he has already called my husband, which means I may be in the hospital soon.

Is he right?

Before you answer that, what advice will you give your daughter in twenty years if she pushes herself as hard as you do?

It does sound like you do need rest and relaxation. perhaps a vacation at a nice tropical island somewhere in the Pacific? ;)

I would kick her ass and check her into a spa, until I could brainwash her into not being like I am.

Then listen to your doctor. *nod*

Anyway, despite all the trouble you've had today - hopefully you'll be feeling better any time soon. I wish you the best. ;)

Coincidentally, my "little" sister has just sent me some eMails with funny pics, one of which I'd like to share with you.

I present the Stress Reduction Kit:

While I haven't tried it myself just yet, please tell me about how it turned out, will you?

my insurance won't pay for me to be admitted unless I pass out again, or have a seizure or a psychotic break, so my doctor is going to sedate me.......:( My husband has to stay home for a "few days" and I am supposed to sleep and eat, and everything in bed, he said I could get up to bathe and go to the bathroom, but I had to go back to bed. Hubby is at the pharmacy getting my meds. Life is going to suck Thursday when I still have all this crap to do, but really really no time to do it in. :( :(

Everytime I read a comment like this on here it reminds me just how awful an idea privatised healthcare is. Come over and live in the UK. We'll take care of you.

Hey you should be happy, you will be relaxing and enjoying a stress free life for the next few days. I am sure the rest of the work can be sorted out.

Eventually. :p

WHy are you even still awake Smunkee?

Tell the hubby to come home - pop in the ear plugs and put on the blindfold and enjoy dreamland for a good 12 hours.

Eventually. :p
You don't have to wait if it's an emergency. And you certainly don't have to wait (or pay) for a Doctor's appointment, or a hospital referral.

I wonder how many people in America die every year because they don't want to pay for the Doctor? :(

okay, hubby is home, he is cooking me some dinner, then I am taking my meds, if you guys don't hear from me for a few days, I am probably okay, just on lockdown. ;)

They let you out again in 72hours if you can pretend to be sane that long. *nod*

:)

Get some rest. We'll be here when you get back.

Hooray! :D
Hooray! :D
Wow! That's two hoorays from LG to me.
Hooray! (I now say :D)

So, Smunkee, maybe you need to do some Gerbil mantras!!!

Enjoy, and then rest! :fluffle:

Get some rest, Smukee. :) It sounds like you need it badly.

What was the hallucination? That might count if it is interesting enough.

I woke up today after less than 3 hours of sleep last night and a 18 hour day yesterday, I have a 20 hour day today, and my brain is, how shall we say it? oh, right, dead. Reminds me of Thursday. I had about 3 hours of sleep on an already restless week and had a 25 hour day, with about 18-20 hours of constant sunlight. I got searched four times and had precious little to eat.

I hope your days are getting better though, mine did :)
