Rough Night

By circa

· 425 views

So, last night I had an adrenal attack. Basically, I have a panic attack, but without the mental aspect of it. It lasted about 12 hours. Its extremely painful and the only thing that seems to ease the pain is extremely hot water. Even the hot tub wasn't hot enough. I'm extremely exhausted now because of the lack of sleep. Its amazing how much pain something so small as an adrenal tumor can cause. After I have my sleeve, I'll be scheduled for additional treatment for the tumors. I cannot wait for that to happen. This surgery has more of an effect on things than my weight. My doctor is hoping that it will help to restore my thyroid function as well as help with the PCOS and allow better treatment for my insomnia and endometriosis - most of which was caused by the steroid treatments I was on for years. So here's to getting all of this started and solved!

    Hi,

    Glad to hear you are OK now. That must be stressful to have. I have had one or two panic attacks in my life and they alone are scary.

    I was sleeved on 12-30-11 (happy new year gift to me)

    I have slow thyroid and I have to wait a few weeks and then go get that checked out to get back on my meds. No surgery needed, but it does slow weight loss a lot.

    Take Care : )

    Thanks :) I've never had a panic attack - but the adrenal attack of all the adrenaline coursing through the body at a high rate of speed is excruciating. You know how you're laying in bed almost asleep because you have that feeling of falling? I have that feeling for 12 straight hours. Its kindof funny when I have it and I don't have the pain that goes with it but when the pain starts, its all over. The only thing I've found that actually lessens the pain (doesn't completely stop it, but does make it tolerable) is morphine. I can't get morphine to take home, so its only if its REALLY bad and I go to the ER that I don't just ride it out. I can't afford all those trips to the ER with a 200.00 ER copay each time. I'm just glad there's a light at the end of the tunnel and its not an oncoming train :)
