I thought I was alo...I really appreciate your blog. I thought I was alone with this condition. Before getting treatment I was so depressed because my family didn't understand that it wasn't that I didn't want to get out of bed it was that I couldn't. Some days I even felt that I didn't want to live anymore because I had to force myself to do daily things as a full time mother with a full time job. My husband didn't understand that I wasn't being lazy I just never felt rested. After being diagnosed I was put on several medicines including nuvagil which I found I was allergic to. The last medicine my doctor tried me on was Adderall which works ok as long as I take a booster Adderall in the morning along with an extended release and a booster in the evening in order to drive home from work. Recently I found out I'm pregnant and my hold world seems to be crashing. I can't get up to go to work. I've falling asleep driving and I have a hard time taking care of my kids. I don't know what to do at this point. If I can't go to work I know I will eventually lose my job, which I'm the main bread winner in my home. I've also had to withdraw from school because I couldn't hack it. I was just to tired to do the school work. I really feel at a lost and I don't know what to do. I've held my job for over 4 years and have been really successful as a loan administration manager and without the medicine all of my hard work and effort is going down the drawn. What should I do...I need help before it' too late.

In addition, I have lost feeling to the nerve on my left thigh and my back hurts due to bones bulging on each other. I say all this to ask about Disautonomy condition. I am afraid I have been misdiagnosed and I would like to know this prior to leaving the army so that I can get the right treatment. Thank you for recommendations.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15109629559311837940noreply@blogger.com
