Now that Covid is finally getting out of my system on Sunday I was able to sleep for the first time in almost a month using my CPAP. I still woke up a lot, but I was able to get back to sleep and best of all when I got up in the morning I was not disoriented.
Sadly last night was as good. I had breathing issues, issues with my back, and general depression. I went to bed at about midnight and woke up at 3:45 a.m. never getting back to sleep. It is 9:45 a.m. now and I am exhausted.
I am still having some post covid issues. At points while I can take now deep breath, which I could not do a week ago, great struggle to do so. I still have a slight cough.
Additionally, every night at around 7 p.m. I start feeling bad. My breathing gets worse and I kind of feel like someone is sitting on my chest. I am starting to think that that made me an issue with my meds. I take my meds twice a day once at 8 a.m. and once at 8 p.m. and about an hour after taking the night meds I start feeling better.
I have to get in and see a doctor
I’m feeling down at the moment. No one that I tried to call to wish Merry Christmas even took my phone calls. They just went to voice mail.
I hate this holiday.
How do I get past the fear of getting Covid again?
I have had almost no sleep this week and I am finding it extremely hard to focus on writing a post so let’s try this with a video.
Okay, so my plans that I referenced yesterday may have to be put on hold. My dad has been sick for a few days and Monday was diagnosed with Covid-19. At the time, my brother and I tested negative. However, we both started feeling sick yesterday and today we both also tested positive.
With all my health problems this has me really worried.
Has it really been six months since my last post? Wow!
Well, that explains why I just had to delete almost six hundred SPAM comments. The spammers look for blogs that have been abandoned to post comments with links back to their scams. Sorry scammers I had the site set to require me to approve all posts.
So why have I not posted in six months? I did not abandon this site as such, I had abandoned my life. Between my health issues, the health issues of my family members, and many other things I had just lost all drive to move forward with my life or for that matter to do anything at all. I had just locked myself away in my room watching my life slip away, only occasionally experiencing life.
That is going to change!!! I will make a post soon explaining how and why.
After almost 20 years of being his patient my primary care doctor dumped me. I knew it was coming. When I was in the hospital the last time, I had a nurse say to me “wow, he really does not like you.” and even though I had just been to see him at his office a week or two before my recent ER visit for my back, he told the ER doctor he had not been his patient for years.
I really don’t blame him, I wish he had not made me look bad by telling them I was lying, but he is now a kidney specialist and I was his last primary care patient. So, what do I do? I have no idea how to find a new doctor.
