--as can getting any sort of pathogen illness, particularly for those of us with autoimmune components to our neuropathies. An already ramped-up/oversensitive immune system gets an extra incentive to be so when it has to respond to an invading pathogen.

Don't worry about the venting--we've all been there at one time or another (some of us MANY times).

Your "life situation" is certainly not the best, but I think it's good that you came here to vent; it's certainly a more healthy and adaptable response than a lot of others I can think of, and that bodes well for you eventually.

Nursegirl i love a trip to the beach..It puts me right where i want to

I guess it's just bad PN... maybe a little allergies thrown in for good measure, but really just some bad pn that's kicking my butt! I'm sure it's the stress.

I'm at work today because my boss is leaving for Asia for a week and I really have to be here to be sure all his ducks are in a row before he leaves. (that's the live of an Exec. Admin).

New symptom today though, sweating. I'm not much of a sweater, never have been.... actually never even wore anti-perspirant all my life. (really!) Now, I've been sweating under my right arm! Yep, just one arm. Been sweating all morning, just under that one arm. Huh, go figure!

I do, however sweat when I work out, and that is a good thing... and I sometimes wake up at night soaked in sweat, but I just attribute that to the hormonal being 47 and change in life thing. (Not sure if I'm going through menopause or not, had a partial hysterectomy at the age of 26... so haven't had periods since then, but still have my ovaries!)

Anyway, this sweating under one arm is quite an interesting new twist. Aaahhh the fun and exciting life of PN. Always a conversation starter! Good thing I'm an outgoing person who doesn't mind talking to co-workers. However, today I feel like crap and just want to get my job done and go home to my new 800 thread count sheets and my three movies I just rented and spend the day in my room listening to my canary compete with the T.V.

I did stay home yesterday and really can't afford another sick day for about a month or so.

I hope everyone has a good day and enjoys their weekend. I will be spending it in bed trying to heal before Monday comes so I can get back to work!

do a number on the PN! Sounds like your job stress, and probably allergies are 'helping'? Allergies, at least you can do something about. This time of year, IF I skip my anti-histamine and nasal spray, I wake up in the AM with the equivalent of one heck of a hangover! Not to mention the hours it takes for all those clogged sinus cavities to drain and get back to normal...the sound effects are unpleasant to say the least.

As for the sweating, that's an new one....only on one side? I don't know about your docs, but, my GP has call-in hours at a certain time...so you can call and ask...Should I worry? or not? Usually the 'files' not in hand, but they do call you back...mostly with a 'come-in' but you get 'worked-in' for a short visit so's All can decide what to do...if anything. Try to call, is my gut feeling...I hope this works for you. You don't need more worry rite now, for sure! - j
