seeming verb

Is it correct to use seem like this?Could you give me a sentence in which seem is used in the continuous?I've been seeming very sick lately. It's probably because I haven't been getting any sleep.Thanks

As far as I know, it isn't normal to use the verb 'seem' in a continuous tense. So, I wouldn't, myself, say I have been seeming very sick lately . I would convey that idea this way: It seems that I've been very sick lately .
