[QUOTE]Originally posted by LOA: [QB] Okay, update: So my tailbone wasn't fractured, just severely bruised. The ER doc said it would take 3-4 weeks to stop hurting. I thought he was full of it, but he must be right seeing that I STILL hurt if I try to sit/stand/go up down stairs. I have to sit on a donut, and the only place that's comfortable is on our loveseat, so I can lay on the donut with my legs up over the edge. Even the full size couch is not comfy, and my bed is completely unacceptable. Pleh. I also have passed out several times since then. During the day. Once while driving. So I don't drive anymore at all. Don't worry, no one/thing was injured. I was on the freeway at 70mph, and somehow ended up in a ditch, right side up, with no damage or injuries. Miracle. We're in the process of pulling me off of my second med because my doc feels that it must be med related, since there are no other indications of a neurological issue (stroke, anyeurysm, etc). My vision has gone nuts on me - double and blurred vision - I have had to change the fonts on my computer to be forced set to 30 point to see them at all. I can't read anything smaller, so books and such are out of the picture. My boyfriend has to read my medication lables to me so I know which pill bottle is which at night, since so many of my pills look alike right now. Also, my insomnia has gone completely nutsos on me. In the last 7 days, I've slept now 10 hours. 3 nights, I didn't sleep at all. No day time naps any day. And the nights I did sleep, one of them was 4 hours, but every other night was VERY minimal. I just can't fall asleep or stay asleep, but not for lack of trying. I'm also having these bizzare electric shock feelings that go through my body - seriously, it feels JUST like how it felt when I WAS electrically shocked in high school. They just pass through my whole body in a quick single wave, and I convulse, and anything on my lap is bucked off (my laptop once) and anything I'm holding is literally thrown to the floor in the process. Totally weird. So we're trying to get to the bottom of it. But everything checks out fine. So we're trying to get these meds out of me, one at a time, as fast as possible. Hopefully that will resolve it. My gut feeling tells me there's something else going on though... I didn't feel that way until the "shocks" started. I see my Neuro again tomorrow, and I'll talk to him, but I'm getting concerned. I haven't worked in over a week, either, BTW. The computer software at work does not have the option to increase the font size, so I can't work until tech support either figures out how to fix it, or they can get me a magnified monitor. It's killing me. As bad as everything sounds, I FEEL well about 90% of the day. I mean, I can't see right, but I still feel decent enough. Sitting at home, unable to drive, is killing me. I just want to work. So they're working on it. ~Liz [/QB][/QUOTE]
