Its oh so quiet Shh Shh

I'm not sure, I thought it was a spider bite when I first woke up but I have no bite marks or anything anywhere on my body. I'm allergic to spiders and if one bit me it'd be very swollen and painful. It wouldn't go away within a day. I did have that bite that was on my inner thigh but that healed up over a week ago and I don't think it could cause this.

dont you have cheap walk in doctors u can go see round ur place, like here we got texas med clinics

[kibakiba]

Yes but I'm not able to go until Thursday. Monday is a holiday, Tuesday I go to my psychiatrist and Wednesday I have to be home to get my new snakes. We don't have a car. We get around on a "D.A.R.T" bus.

It's not out of the realm of possibility that you are still suffering effects from the bite that healed. You should tell a dr. all of this. Don't leave out any details.

Also, I have symptoms similar to what you describe but it's caused by a pinched nerve in my back; the nerve that leads to my hand, arm, and shoulder. I get weird itchy sensations and pain that seems to move around.

Might have been that. My new meds are causing me to be really sleepy and after a certain point of tiredness I sleep really weirdly. Since I'm going to the psychiatrist I'm going to tell her about it to see if it might be a weird side effect from my medicine. I know when I got the thumb problem I had slept really weird and I was achy everywhere so I wouldn't be surprised if I had a pinched nerve or anything else. I kind of wish I could just find a good fit with my meds so that I don't have to deal with this stuff anymore.

Well I didn't know about the meds. They definitely do weird things. I hope you're reading all the info that comes with them. They always list symptoms to watch for that could be danger signs of a serious reaction.

I have permanent case of Tardive Dyskinesia caused by a certain dopamine antagonist drug I was on for only 3 years. As a result, for the rest of my life, I will have episodes where I just can't talk. All I can do is stutter incoherently. It still happens from time to time all these years later.

If you can function at all without these drugs (takes about 6 months without them to really know for sure) I would highly recommend you get off of them. Many of them do more damage to the brain than they are worth.

I've been waiting all my life for meds to help me. All my life I've had ad/hd, and while I enjoy having it for some reasons.. I'm 22 and I haven't graduated high school because I have a hard time learning, understanding and focusing on homework. After I graduate I don't want to take them anymore. Psycho-stimulants are really creepy at times. I do read the info that comes with them but my psychiatrist is trying me on newer meds that haven't been out for too long. Only long enough to have a generic (insurance reasons) and none of the side effects are what I get. I get everything that's not on the papers. Lol. I have 2 years left... If I pass with every single class above a D. It's proven to be a challenge for me. I've been in the same math class for 3 years.

You said "I sleep really weirdly. Since I'm going to the psychiatrist I'm going to tell her about it to see if it might be a weird side effect from my medicine"

Well it doesn't take a genius to figure that out, especially considering that the main drug treatment for attention deficit is stimulants. Anybody on stimulants is going to sleep weirdly, or hardly at all.

I can't say I had all of those problems but I can say it took me from 9th-12th grade to pass basic high school level math class and I'm pretty sure I wouldn't pass it today.

Well I know the sleep is a side effect. I meant the pain in my thumb, knuckles and arm as the side effect. I used to take adderall and would stay up for 4 days straight before just passing out when I laid down for rest. I have to know all the stuff in my basic math class even though I've "passed" it, despite being 22, I'm required to take the HSPE. I cant graduate unless I pass the math section. Soooo... I'm stuck in this math class. As for sleeping weirdly, when I'm tired I'll sleep any way possible whether it be on my back or half way on my back with the rest of my body turned completely sideways. I cant sleep on my back, I have a problem with it and bending my back a certain way. I've gotten an x-ray but nothing's showed up. I think my painkillers make me focus better than any psycho-stimulant ever as... too bad I cant take them regularly like that.

My school failed. I was looking over my classes online and I was checking out the course material... and my "English" class... ended up being "how to speak English" class. When I signed up for them under it it had said "basic writing class for beginners" and honestly, English(as in the writing class) isn't my strong point, so I took it. This is basic as in kindergarten basic. My teacher was explaining the alphabet. I'm not THAT bad at English to need to learn the alphabet again. What a fail. it'd be an easy A for me but I actually want to learn something rather than have half my brain rot away while the teacher spells out "bed" and "dog" and "cat" and explaining vowels.
