How come I feel sick every Saturday?

[Ryner]

Backstory: I work from home. Anywhere from 4-10 hours a day, usually in the evening and late night, sometimes during the day if I have other plans for the night. I'll spend all that time sitting in the same spot in front of the computer, only stopping for a bathroom break or to grab a snack. This is usually my Sunday-Friday routine. It can be rough at times, but it makes me money so I'm happy. I always take Saturday off to give myself a break, whether I just relax at home, hang out with friends, or what have you. It keeps me from getting burned out.

So why is it that every Saturday, for about the past two months now, without fail, I'm grossly fatigued and have a headache within a few hours of waking up. No matter what I'm doing, this happens to me. I'm not getting too much (or not enough) sleep, so that's not a factor. And I always feel fine on my workdays. It's just the one day I have off that for seemingly no reason I get these symptoms.

Is it possible my body is so used to my schedule it acts goofy the one day things are different? Or maybe my work schedule is taking more of a toll on me than I thought, and Saturday is just everything catching up to me at once? Is it cancer? It doesn't seem to be serious enough that I should see a doctor, but I'm almost willing to go to one for an explanation on why this happens like clockwork.

What do you think?

I think the fact that you don't have a set schedule, like at all, is having an adverse effect on your body. When I deviate from my schedule, I feel like total bum the next day.

No. I always feel bad on Saturdays, too. I always feel better on Sunday without fail. I usually work eight hours on Saturday, but that has nothing to do with it, as I usually work eight on Friday and six or so on Sunday, too. I feel fine on those days, but Saturdays suck.

So you're saying it IS cancer?

Online poker?

Re: How come I feel sick every Saturday?

Aye.

Re: How come I feel sick every Saturday?

your job is playing online poker.

wtf.

well, you're getting the headaches because saturday you're not staring at a computer screen all day, and your eyes are having a hard time adjusting. headaches can cause stomach problems too. If you took two days off instead of just one, you'd feel fine the second day.

Re: How come I feel sick every Saturday?

It's not a job in the sense that I was hired by a boss and get a paycheck every week. It's more like self-employment.

Which I'll have to give up on now that I have cancer.

I make too many stupid bets online because my style in real life involves talk and giving off too many "reads".

Well yner I'm not a doctor...but seeing as how I do play one on TV I'll make a guess. I'm guessing that your "sickness" is caused by a deapseated fear that may have come from a trauma that occured in your childhood, I know it may be painful but you have to try to remember, we are all here to help you.
