Some Kinda Bipolar Attack??

Hi all,

First off, I'm sorry I don't always reply to replies. Many,many reasons but I promise I will try my hardest to get better.

Now I know this is a very weird subject. I plan on asking on other boards as well. But I thought, "what the heck,stranger things have happened in this bipolar world we live in". So here it is. Last night I woke up after only 45 minutes of sleep at 4:15. Took 2 30mg of Restoril a little while ago and so far nada. So anyway, last night.mi woke up, could barely see the time and had to shut my right eye to peer at it in a blur. I woke up suddenly and had no idea what woke me. My neck was hurting really bad so I began to massage it (always have issues with my neck). Then I started having pain all over. A lot of pain on my left side. I could barely see out of my right eye and the lid kept shutting. My thoughts were a whirlwind like major mania and ADD rolled up in one. I was trying to get out of bed and kept falling back in. I finally got out and had to hold on to stuff to shuffle along. Oh yeah, I had a headache above my eyes, on my temples, at my jaws and smack on the top of my head. I barely made it in the kitchen almost falling a couple of times. I didn't know what to do! The only thing that kept popping out to me was "I need a coke! I need a Coke (or cola for copyright infringement). So I drank a lot and I began to feel a little bit better. I drank a lot more and felt way better. No, I was not jonesing, I had drank some close to bed just like always.

So any of you have any ideas?? My husband thinks it was a fibromyalgia attack. I was freakin and thinking it was a TIA. I have been under tremendous amounts of stress. But I called my doctor the other day for this large lymph nodes under my jaw, fatigue, rash and achey. She mentioned Lymphoma. I don't know what to think! I just switched jobs and start Friday, should I go see my internist? He's 30 miles away on a busy hiway and I just don't feel like it. I'm pretty much a recluse and I already gotta take my son to get his drivers learner permit this week AND go buy a white shirt for the new job. This is just freakin me out though. Well thanks for reading. Love you guys

Wow, that sounds really scary!!

I have no idea what that could be, I've never experienced anything like it. If I were you I'd definitely go see a doctor. Your internist sounds like a good choice for this. I don't want to scare you, but this sounds kinda serious. Can you call? I'm guessing it got you scared, so even if it is nothing to worry about (which I sincerely hope!), speaking with your internist will at least give you peace of mind.

Please let us know what you find out and I hope that never happens again!

Hi

I think that it sounds like you need to rule out a physical cause for things here jic. I would see your Dr and ask them what they think. It does not sound like something I recognise from BP myself and I do think that ruling out physical causes is a good plan here

I hope it does not happen again

hugs

Cracked

Up until 3:30 am, and then only 45 minutes sleep until 4:15 am.
And I thought I was bad... to bed between midnight and 1:00 am every night and staying in bed until past noon if I have nothing on that day.

I agree with the others. See your doctor to talk about it. Ask if there are tests the doctor can do to check if you are all right.

Take care,
