System Overload

I am still in the process of getting a Chiari diagnosis. I really do hate the waiting game. I went in yesterday to see a second NL and went over all my symptoms once again. She is having me see an optomologist because I have lost some of the peripheral vision in my left eye and because of all the visual disturbances I have. She also noted the hyperreflexia I have. She wants to rule out a few more things over the next moth. She does not want to say it is Chiari just yet. AGAIN!

Anyhow, got home and was feeling pretty good so I figured before the rains hit and while I was doing ok I should get some yard work done. Decided to get out the weed eater.

Bad decision.

Didn't notice so much while working but as soon as I was done the tremors started really bad and could not even get the water bottle to my mouth. My arms did not want to work and I was shaking so bad I could hardly hold the bottle. My headache kicked in full force and I was on the couch for the rest of the night. It was not good….. and even this morning the shaking and head pain are bad.

It almost feels like I had system overload....maybe from the vibration of the weed eater?

Anyone else had anything like this happen to them before?

I get the tremors big time as well,  a nice warm shower or long soak in the bath may help.

If only I could......

I work the next 6 days in a row.
Hopefully we wont be too busy and I can at least get through ok.

I am drinking plenty of fluids and am resting as much as I can.

Last day of school today for the kids so at least I wont have to get up and run them to school in the mornings before work.

I just need to watch what I do more closly. YEA!

Oh my yes...I used to get like that too.....not a good thing to do as it not only vibrates, but the shoulder and neck carry the weight.....

I feel overloads just being on my feet too much and in a loud environment....

Stay in bed today, drink plenty of water...and rest rest rest!!
