Med whining

My Dad asked how I was doing, and asked what was *wrong*... or at least, what the symptoms were.

"Imagine having a mild hangover, and being half asleep. All the time."

Today I feel like warmed up leftover buckets of sweet and sour ass, with a side order of bleah. I got 9 hrs of sleep, got up, got fed, got coffee, got showered, dressed, the whole bit, sat down to check email before heading to work, and... fell asleep. Sitting up. For over an hour. The salted water keeps me hydrated, which keeps the headaches, tingling skin, and lightheadedness down, but now I'm just *exhausted*. I feel like I've been pulling all-nighters, and thinking straight takes work.

Whine, whine, whine.

Endocrinologist appt on the 21st. Whee.

Pity me! *hand to forehead* My life sucks! Woe is me!



Ooooooh! I'm an LJer! :D

Edit: New icon! Whee!

That's been brought up, and while it may be a component, I've got several other weird things going on too. Ongoing fatigue is a Yet Another Symptom of adrenal failure. I gots no oomph in my motor. Apnea is definitely something I'll be looking into though - although I feel *rested*, I don't feel *awake* if that makes any sense. I feel like I got a good night's sleep, but I just can't seem to get above the line to 'alert'.

I'm drinking half a gallon a day of salted water (1-1 1/2 tsp total), with an additional half gallon of straight water, and my blood pressure is about 125/75. Without it, it's down below 110/70, and I feel even worse.
