I am sorry that you are having a bad morning. And yes, please try to rest for a bit. It can do wonders. My daily naps are what gets me through the day. For the kids that are home, have them take naps too regardless of their age. My kids took naps up until they were about 8 when we were home on weekends and/or vacations. It gave everyone a good break and some quiet time.
I do agree with what Cherie was trying to say. I would be an absolute mental case if I focused on all the odd things going on with my body. Learning to cope and accept it for what it is is so important.
On the other hand, don't ignore everything. I make this mistake all the time and the neuro slapped my hand for it because I wait too long and ignore too much. I joke around that I need therapy to learn how to be a hypochondriac. LOL. That is how bad I am.
At my last neuro appt in January, I had been experiencing symptoms since having a cold at the end of December. It got bad enough that I lost part of my vision and finally decided to go in. It was at this appointment that we ended up having the "you wait too long and ignore too much" talk. Anyhow, after I had my MRI it was determined that the increase in symptoms was due to a viral type syndrome. Knowing that many of your family members have been sick and just experiencing this myself, is it possible you are dealing with some sort of viral syndrome which is causing all these crazy things to go on? Just something to think about.
I hope you start feeling better soon.
