Lack Of Sleep & Phantom smell
As someone newly diagnosed, I’m still learning about different symptoms surrounding Sjogrens. All the things I’ve ignored or normalized was actually something that I should have paid more attention to and didn’t. Now I’m trying to learn my body and when to really listen to it.
One main thing I’ve noticed that I deal with is sleep deprivation. I’ll fall asleep for a couple of hours and then wake up in the early morning hours. Last night this happened and now I wake up feeling horrible. I don’t want to do anything or go anywhere.
Also last week I had a colonoscopy to ensure no polyps, colon cancer or GI issues. Everything came back clear, however immediately after the procedure I seemed to have a sinus infection of some sorts. I had the most terrible congestion, migraine and kept sneezing. Now I’m dealing with a sickening sweet phantom smell that is making me nauseous.
I was wondering if anyone had experience with this and should I reach out to my doctors for relief. I feel absolutely awful today and I’m literally typing this as I’m in bed. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
