Things Wrong with Me

For the last few months I have been feeling perpetually sick. I didn’t go to work this week on Tuesday or Wednesday because of feeling not well. Today I feel better, but these things still plague me and have probably since the onset of winter. Usually I feel off around November and December, but I pick up again by now and it hasn’t happened this year. Though I love the winter.. perhaps my body doesn’t like it as much as my mind.

  • My neck aches and the chiropractor doesn’t seem to be helping it. It cracks when I move it and feels like there is a lot of pressure in there.
  • My throat has a low grade scratchiness.
  • My head is aching (probably due to my neck).
  • My face, my sinuses, feel like they have a lot of pressure in them.
  • I don’t have much energy, want to just lay around a lot.

The doctors think it’s allergies. But I feel the same with or without their allergy meds. They gave me Allegra and Nasacort. I haven’t used them in a month because I wanted to see if I had any difference. Nope.

I should go back to the Naturopath. She is one of the few doctors who actually listens and cares, and when I leave I usually end up feeling better. However, she is expensive and I just sent $2,800.00 to my American Express card for the Cruise and other frivolous things I shouldn’t have bought, but do enjoy… so I am a bit broke for a while.

Anyway, I know the lack of motivation and tiredness probably are due a lot to my Zoloft. But I swear last summer and fall I didn’t feel this bad, and I was on the Zoloft then, too.

Ugh.

    Hey, sorry to hear you are so down. We should go out together, check a movie, perhaps have lunch somewhere lo-cal. I am often down during the winter as well. Lets hope the sunshine coming our way this weekend will pick up our spirits. XO

    Could it be you are depressed over Mitt Romney leaving the presidential race? :)
    But really you have heard of seasonal depression associated with lack of sunshine in the winter months?

    Also some of the symptons sound like those associated with winter air quality in the Salt Lake Valley.

    Hi Molly! You know, I had Mono when I was in my early 20s.. or maybe my late teens. I was probably about 19 or 20.. maybe 21. And I have read that it can come back, but it’s super hard to test for. Don’t they test for the antibodies? Because they can’t find the virus?

    I’m so bad at pressing my point, I always feel like I’m in the wrong, it’s in my head, I’m a hypochondriac etc… so I don’t know when to push, and when not to.

    LOL Kim I don’t think so! :) I have heard of seasonal depression.. I don’t want it, though, because I really love the darkness of the winter! but maybe my body doesn’t.
