I wake up with a host of physical symptoms (which is why, when I first started waking up like that, I thought it was some new physical problem to add to my long list of health issues and when I Googled my symptoms, low blood sugar kept coming up. I found out I DO have low blood sugar but doctors - as usual - insist that's not the cause of my symptoms/feelings) like nausea, intestinal cramping, shaking/trembling, heart palpitations and pounding, sweating, and this hard-to-describe sensation of like I'm both awake and in a dream at the same time...it's so hard to put into words. It's like my perception of reality is all screwy, like when I've woken up from anesthesia sort of. Then I wake up more and those sensations/symptoms continue at one degree or another pretty much all day. If I"m lucky the nausea will lessen a bit after I take an anti-nausea med. these things happen to me whether I 'sleep' (in quotes b/c I never sleep well anymore, not deeply) at night or just a nap. It's hell. This started like 7 years ago. Before that I'd wake up thinking how I have to struggle to get through another day and want to roll over and just go back to sleep the rest of the day. I wish I could go back to that vs all these physical symptoms I have now upon waking.
