This is just an observation.....do you think that maybe your having an anxiety attack about going back to work? Maybe your not ready, maybe there is something about doing that job that is making you stressed out and making you physically ill, maybe for whatever reasons...you really aren't up to doing that job?

Ya gotta love the amateur psychiatry spewed forth on these pages...
Oh no, that's right. You really don't!
Sam, whatever the problem is, I hope you are feeling better soon.

Anxiety and panic attacks can manifest in many forms. I've been having work related panic attacks for the last week, as well as 24 hour non stop vomiting. I ended up in hospital yesterday on an IV for 7 hours.

With the economy being so bad....any job right now is going to be extremely hard to get, so it's too bad that happened.

I've just had my hours reduced, from 38/week to 25/week. Not sure how I'm gonna manage with a mortgage and partner who can't work due to disablility.
Sorry to hear about your job Sammy, but you'll pick another one up soon enough. This one just wasn't meant to be.

Still waiting for the test results. Just left a message with my doctors nurse and still waiting for today's mail.
I figure since I haven't heard anything yet that either no news is good news or they still haven't proccessed all the tests yet.
All I know is that I still feel light headed and weak. I'm thinking I could possibly have mono or maybe the beginning stages of diabetes or a thousnad other things.

Sorry to hear of your plight Sammy. You could have mono, that's what happened to one of my friends. She didn't know what was wrong and was sick for a long time. Ignore the amateur psychiatrists here, and just wait to hear back from the Doc.

Just got of the phone with my doctor's nurse and all my tests from last week came back negative including mono. But since I'm still not feeling any better they want to see me again tomorrow. So I'm still basically in the dark. Posts: 4742 | From: Cell Block 6 | Registered: Aug 2004 | Site Updates: 0

All my doctor said is that I have a fatty liver which means that he wants me to lose weight and avoid alcohol. But the tests showed no parasites, no mono, no diabetes, no lupus, no hepatitis, no immune diseases. My doctor is one of those who likes to joke around which is one of the reasons I've continued to go to him but today he said "I even tested you for stuff I learned in medical school that they said I'd never run into'
He does want me to go in again next Thursday to recheck a couple liver numbers. He said I might eventually need to have a biopsy on my liver but he doesn't want to go down that route right now.
All he can think of that whats plaguing me right now is just some virus that doesn't want to let go so he wants me to go back to drinking pedialyte like it's going out of style which doesn't bother me too much because it tastes pretty good.

Tough break Sam. Did the doctor recommend medication or a diet plan too? Hope you start to feel better soon. From what time period have you felt this way?

Sammy, you may have the same stomach virus that I had, and just got over. And many more people around here have had it too. I was sick for 2 weeks; most other people have been sick for 2 weeks too, but my hubby's friend was sick for three weeks. I like Powerade, I was drinking the blue or red punch. Also lots of tea and water.

My partner has fatty liver and Irritable Bowel Syndrome - which we've recently discovered is all linked to a recently diagnosed case of Diabetes.

I originally applied for food stamps in September and believed to have been declined. Went to re-apply last week and found out that I actually had accrued $866 in food stamp benefits since September that ended at the end of January but I should be able to start collecting on again with my new application. So purchasing food will not be a problem for quite sometime.
I also applied for housing assistance back when I lost my job in August and finally got to the top of the waiting list and I'll find out tomorrow how much help I'll get in that department.
I really don't like receiving assistance from both the state of North Dakota and Burleigh County. But I have to make do with it until I finally can find a steady source of income.
On my health front I finally got over my illness and my last batch of bloodwork shows that my liver is in good operating order and my enzyme numbers are almost back to normal. But I'm still working on losing weight and over the past month between my being sick and my dieting I've lost between 25-30 pounds. Some of my clothes have started to fit again.

Cool. Maybe you can find a job at a Home Depot, or pumping gas, or, McDonald's or something. It'll get you back on your feet. Any kind of job where you are making money will make you feel better, and, it is easier to find other better jobs when you're already working.
Stick with it. You can do it!
