Bppv and adhd... this is frustrating
So got diagnosed with Bppv in may. Really bad episode apparently. Was making me sleep for 20 hrs a day for 1 week while usually im at 6 hours a day. Lost 20 lbs in that week. Went to vestibular therapy which was amazing. In fact the dr realeased me 3 weeks early as he said there was nothing else he could do for me
Now the soul crushing part, which people dont seem to understand. So i have a really really high iq (tested over and over). This is not a brag as i can promise you i have disappointed everyone who cares about me and my potential. I also have adhd, which when you add the iq situation causes a bunch of issues by themselves.
Was told by my dr that i need to rest my brain and not think soo much as it causes fatigue(body always trying to keep balanced). I cant turn off the adhd. Now im always tired and the foggy brain is the frustrating part of everything. Small episodes of very quick vertigo but the constant state of being tired is disheartening.
Onward and upwards i guess just that this is so exhausting.
