Stress, worry, HA's?

[linnielou232]

It's been two yrs since my surgery and I have noticed big time lately that when I worry or I am stressed of trying to help others I get HA's.  I have to lay down at least an hour a day due to this.  Has anyone else notice this?  I'm accepting it, but it sure is flustrating. Thanks everyone.  Hope your having a worry free day.

I have to laugh because when I go down stairs to do the laundry my DH will ask me when I return. "What were you doing down there so long"?  I tell him. "talking to your laundry fairy".  LOL....He does tell everyone at work we have one.  He tell's them "I throw my clothes down stairs at night and in the morning they are up stairs folded".  I really am beginning to think  he thinks one is down there. LOL....thought we all needed a laugh.

Thanks so much because I feel bad that I have to do this, but what do we do?

I take a nap every day and almost always did before my symptoms really hit in.we do need little breaks and theres nothing to be ashamed of.one nap a day keeps the ha away...lol

I was told years ago by a TCM dr (who of course couldn't Dx, but who knew something was wrong) to lie down every 2 hr for 15 min.  Maybe if you try that, if possible, you won't have to lie down so long at once.  But having a rest daily sounds luxurious, doesn't it?  :)
I would've give anything to have that when I was a single mom of 2 teenagers, working full time & going to grad school!

Linnie there are imes I have to any down and just don't feel ok...like you said an hour helps a lot

Thank you to every one.  Just hope some of my worries for others will go away.  Do any of you notice you have to lay down during the day.  It is beginning to be a ritual every day here.  I lay down for 1 to 2 hrs a day otherwise I can't function?   Thanks for your response.

Oh i know worries do triggser symptoms and ha...i think its when we get tensed our muscles get tight and make it an issue.hope u feel better today

I noticed that before surgery, but i don't really expect that sensitivity to change.  I actually had not one, but two, lengthy "hand holding" conversations today, which was a lot for 1 wk post op!  I had to make a tough choice too, adding to the stress, cutting off the friend in favor of the stranger facing surgery tomorrow.
It feels good to give back, but we have to take care of ourselves first.  Otherwise we have nothing of ourselves to give.

  Hi Linda, yup, I get them too, had a bad one yesterday....and I did a lot over the weekend, it was a little stressful to deal with getting everything done and keep it a surprise from my DH...lol....but I had fun : )

But yes stress still brings on HA's for me...very frustrating indeed.
