Still Struggling With Mystery Stomach Pain
Shortly after, I had an allergic reaction and immediately went into panic attack. The feeling was horrific! It makes you feel like you want to jump out of your skin and run as fast as possible. The only thing I can do is jump around, breathe, and imagine I’m in a relaxing spa or something. Thank heavens, Steve Burton was here and rushed to tell the nurse. They immediately gave me Benedryl and Xantax, which knocked me out.
This is the second time in two days I’ve had this sort of panic attack. I definitely think my brain and body is getting cabin fever. I am used to working out all the time and I am constantly on the go. I have been laying in hospital beds about 19 days out of the past 30. Its like my body and mind want to keep functioning like normal, but I can’t keep up. The docs suggested maybe getting anti-anxiety drugs to take regularly to help. I guess I’m willing to try it; however I think more than anything, I just need to make sure I am getting fresh air everyday and at least walk a few minutes no matter how sick I am.
On the bright side, I was able to get permission to leave my floor today. The trip down the hall to the cafeteria was like a huge field trip.
