I just got a full physical done. I had ultrasound, xrays, bloodwork and EKG (heart). I am going back to the drs next week I believe. I have to double check. I haven't had any severe tramua but yeah stress could be the brunt of it (eventhough things have really be non stress for the past few days...I guess that doesn't count).
Thanks for your input Xeno. I will def persue my doctor about it.

Hi everyone. I am feeling alittle down. I miss my girls so much. They are both back to school. Not only that I have been experiencing dizzy spells, at times I actually forget things. Like things I wouldn't. Which really has been scaring me. I am only 32 years old. Sense of familiarity seems to be distorted a bit. I had a bad migraine yesterday, it was different then how they usually play out. My senses were so distorted that after I had the aura, I felt like my arms were not attached to my body. Like I saw it but I had no feelings (mentally that they were there).
I have been resting alot today but all I feel is restlessness and it's driving me mad.

One night I dreamed I was walking along the beach with the Lord. Many scenes from my life flashed across the sky. In each scene I noticed footprints in the sand. Sometimes there were two sets of footprints, other times there were one set of footprints.
This bothered me because I noticed that during the low periods of my life, when I was suffering from anguish, sorrow or defeat, I could see only one set of footprints.
So I said to the Lord, "You promised me Lord, that if I followed you, you would walk with me always. But I have noticed that during the most trying periods of my life there have only been one set of footprints in the sand. Why, when I needed you most, you have not been there for me?"
The Lord replied, "The times when you have seen only one set of footprints, is when I carried you." Mary Stevenson
Was is just yesterday you were getting these physical problems or are they happening from time to time? I am a little worried about your health (so putting on Dr's hat as I tell you my story) A couple of years ago I started feeling a "little off". As I have severe nerve damage along my whole right side due to herniated discs from 2 horrendous car accidents. And I already had 1 neck surgery under my belt. So I at 1st attributed my "off" feeling to that, plus as my brother was dying at the time and I was his medical power of atty I was driving back and forth to CA quite often to be with him and in consultations with his medical team. So I added the extra stress to the reason I wasn't feeling up to par. But as it continued symptoms started multiplying. I was forgetting things, little things that should have come naturally to me. I stopped sleeping (unfortunately this is still a problem) but if I got 3 hours of sleep in a 24 hour period i thought i was doing good. My appetite went away. Really things that one would contribute to stress, but it didn't feel like stress. I went to my Dr several times and he attributed it to stress each time. Which if you looked at my life would seem like a perfectly normal diagnosis. I always had a good immune system and then started getting sick. Even my poor dying brother could see i was declining. So back to the Dr's and this time he ran some tests that showed I was physically very sick. It took almost a year to get to this point. And I was put on 4 weeks of best rest with medical equipment i needed during that time. Normally upon hearing the news I got, my brother would have been my 1st call to talk about it but I couldn't add any stress to him. And he died 2 weeks into my 4 week bed rest. I was ordered NOT to even try to go to my brothers funeral, not even to fly in for the day. Well no one was keeping me from honoring my brother one last time. So we booked a turn around flight. I was gone maybe 16 hours. And boy did I pay for it. Got another 2 weeks of bed rest tacked on. But the moral of the story here ( sorry if i babbled on and bored you ) is if you are experiencing physical symptoms that are not normal for you.... go to the Doctor. In my case it saved my life as towards the end not only was my brain affected (and the memory loss got worse) but it started affecting and was starting to shut down my internal organs. So i got diagnosed just in time. Don't discount any symptoms and take care of you ! Blessings
