OT: Unease and insomnia

Did you say you were ultra-sensitive to tectonic events? Mt St. Helen's is expected to erupt within in the next few days, and there have been a whole slew of small earthquakes. Could that be it?

That was my first thought too. You may be one of those hypersensitive to natural events. Diana

have you tried some of the new drugs for insomnia...

your description of symptoms is a lot like what I have had.... I take Ambien for it - but NEVER MORE THAN THREE DAYS in a row (Kathy NV knows why)

generally - it seems to "reset" my body back to a normal schedule.

feeling "very alert" is also a description that catches my eye -- my doc said it was really a form of mild "manic" phase behavior... and is not uncommon in artists.....

Oh jeez. That's awful. I get like that sometimes. I suspect it's hormonal (like you said, some newfangled PMS)....I was like that this week, from reducing the HRT. I decided to reduce the HRT some other time -- I have enough problems with the New Cold Weather right now. Spring would be better, and after 12 years, what difference does it make?

I feel better today, by a large margin. I bet yours is that new and fancy PMS, honey bun. You poor thing. It can pick you up and drag you around. It's not pleasant.

Oh yeah! That too! Maybe they're coinciding -- the MSH stuff and the PMS crap. Uh oh! You better come down here for a spell. ~~ Sooz To live a creative life, we must lose our fear of being wrong. ~~Joseph Chilton Pearce

I'm the same way. And the cats are going absolutely freaking nuts today. I'm keeping a close eye on them, because I feel like the eruption is going to be very soon.

This is so amazing. It seems like folks are actually feeling the effects and we all know animals know what is going on. Keep us informed.

I think in general, humans have forgotten how to tune in to nature. It's not all that hard, because there are lots of clues. Like....predicting the winter by how fat the squirrels get and other things. it's all a matter of being aware. Of course, some people's senses are more sensitive than others, but you can train them, too.

Yeah -- as Spock would say, "Fascinating."

Merc's barfed-out from his antibiotics, so he's totally out of touch today. If I were nauseated, I wouldn't know anything either. Of course, he wasn't like this til a couple of days ago, so maybe that's his antibiotic-influenced response to the impending seismic events...... ~~ Sooz To live a creative life, we must lose our fear of being wrong. ~~Joseph Chilton Pearce

OMG - same here! The kitties are restless and constantly darting around the house more than normal the past few days. And I have been sick as a dog, with light headed-ness, dizzyness, headaches, nausea and a general feeling of unease. I actually went to the urgent care clinic last night. I am having inner ear problems, and have water behind the ears. I've always been really sensitive to the earth and her movements.

I'm hoping you feel better Kandice. Did you get anything last night at urgent care?

Yes, they gave me a nasal steroid and recommended hot liquids and decongestant. I also had an EKG (I was short of breath and that's a warning sign), which was actually perfectly normal (thank the Goddess). My BP was normal as well. That eased my mind. I was a little freaked at the sudden dizziness and difficulty breathing. I normally can't stand doctors, but this one was a PR, and he was really nice. I am still feeling queasy and congested, but hopefully all will be well in a few days. I am apparently still getting over the virus I have been fighting for a couple of weeks. (((((hugs)))))) Thanks Starlia. :)

Man I hope that goes away and fast! Just please remember that you aren't feeling well, and don't run yourself ragged, Kandice!!!

:) That's exactly what the doctor said last night - and hubby quickly replied - "I told you so!". :) Hint taken - lots of bed and tea! Right now I am awake but really queasy, so the computer helps me forget how crappy I feel. :)

Well, they did calm down after noon...I wasn't paying attention...rather, I was in the car, so I couldn't really sense anything. I do feel a lot more relaxed now, though.

I'm so glad you're ok. That virus is nasty...must be similar to the one I just got over. It's attacked my left eye now, though, and I have a blocked tear duct. I just want to be done with it, you know? Hope you feel better very soon!

Oh, ouch! Ew! ((((((Jalynne))))))

In retrospect, I think that might be. The headache vanished abruptly this morning, and I have had a sense of relief that I chalked up to finally having an answer about Moxley's job interview, and that guy who owes us $1000 finally coming forward and talking to Moxley about it. But it could very well be the mountain, because I feel kind of like a popped pimple today.

We'll see if I can sleep! I have a soccer game to go to kind of early, so I hope so.
