Hi Cynthia – Sorry to hear that you are still not feeling well. Unfortunately, none of our treatment options offer a “quick fix” in terms of recovering our health…especially if we have been hypER for a long period of time. Our bodies need time to heal from the damage done during that time.

Are you happy with your current medical team? After being hypER for a while, recently going through surgery, and then going through the scary episode with the elevated heart rate, your body has certainly had a lot to deal with. However, since you are feeling so poorly, you might consider asking for help in trying to figure out if there is something else that is going on.

Yes, for now, I would definitely *try* to focus on activities that will bring you pleasure without stressing you out! A change of scenery might do you good…but you might also consider whether travel would leave you feeling energized or more wiped out. Even on my best day, I find dealing with heavy traffic or airport security to be exhausting!

Finally, on the medical bills, is there someone at the hospital that might be able to serve as a resource, such as a social services department? I’m sure that the stress about your financial situation is making your journey extra difficult right now. It would be helpful if you could reach a settlement or a payment plan on the recent medical bills, just to get some peace of mind.

As always, we are here if you need to vent. Please keep us posted on how you are doing!
