Hi I'm new to this site and have joined today.
I have been getting some weird symptons off and on for the last few months.
I have been told by my GP that I have thrombocytosis and raised blood plates and am currently 2 weeks into taking aspirin before seeing a hematologist.
It's a real nightmare at the moment. I go to work and do my job but I don't feel I have much energy I have constant depersonalisation. One minute I am happy next minute I'm down. I have moments of panic then I go out for fresh air I work in an office all day so when your not getting any fresh air it doesn't help. My head feels constantly heavy and get sweaty hands a lot of diziness. My hyperventilating doesn't help - I get this mostly when driving when I can't breath. I cope with driving a bit but long journey's are not so good. Being in a car with someone is different and I'm calmer but it's when I am on my own I experience issues. I also notice that when I stand to talk to people it's difficult as I'm dizzy and feel like I'm on a boat, I get figidity and anxous I can't seem to laugh and talk loud like I used to. I used to be such a lively sociable person but seem quieter these days only because if I get myself too excited I get overwhelmed and the panic sets in. My appetite seems fine and I sleep well. I'm hoping it will pass but for now it's quite frustrating, I joined because I wanted to share my feelings with you - currently reading Claire Weeks self help for your nerves - does anyone have similar symptoms. Love to hear from you if you do :-)

It helped me in 2009 when I had originally bought it - didn't think I'd be having to read it again. Essential help for your nerves is the title of the book. What are the other titles of her books and I'll have to do an Amazon search. other than self help for your nerves.
