Struggling

[Kyrenia]

Thank you everyone for your advice and just for taking the time to reply. I really appreciate it. It’s reassuring to know I’m not the only one fed up and confused.

Hi Kyrenia, I hope you are feeling better and took PMRPro’s advice about taking sick leave. You are proper poorly as we say in Yorkshire or is it reet badly? It must be torture to try to hold down a job with GCA. No wonder the jitters feel intolerable, you are forcing yourself to behave as if you are not ill.

Please take great care of yourself.

Hi Kyrenia, it might be helpful to try to limit (avoid)??, caffeine to ease some of the jitters.

Recently I went through a phase of hyper-jitters and palpitations.

It was really miserable. My doctor prescribed a short run of escitalopram. It really helped, and I have moved past that experience(i hope).

Any chance you get to take a little break...focused breathing, quiet place, even for 10 minutes...might help you manage this very difficult time.

Kind Regards, Jerri. 💜🙏🏽

here's a website for a focused breathing and relaxation I have made. I think the last one is about 10 min. sites.google.com/a/apps.hop...

Thank you I am trying to use my yoga breathing. Just hoping I am soon past this phase. Before this awful illness fit and healthy, regular gym BP yoga fan, trying to maintain at least some of the classes. Rheumatologist told me that I can do what I want , but said that I won’t be able to all that I want. How very true.

It would be a blessing to “do what we want” i certainly haven’t been that person in years. Though the little things of now certainly mean so much more !
