I’ve been experiencing a new symptom (icy sensation from inside out in center of chest through to back) the last few days and I don’t know if I should be concerned.  I have call into doctors.

Trouble focusing, foggy brain, easily distracted, speaking difficulty, sensitive to bright lights, memory trouble, heightened sensitivity of senses, itching, costochondritis flaring up in chest.

Trying to research my symptoms and make sense of it all.  Came across this website: https://neckandback.com/conditions/peripheral-nerve-anatomy 

It’s an article about nerve damage and healing.  I have no idea the exact extent of my injuries as doctors are just monitoring my symptoms not causes.

9:01am –Feel okay I guess. Right hip is throbbing. Slight dizziness.  Slight headache. Going soul winning for the first time since being struck by lightning…not sure how I’ll do, but I won’t know until I try.  Hesitant, but I’m uncertain about most things these days.  Need to keep pushing forward.

11:30am – Took pain rx before going out.  Able to knock two doors today.  Would’ve done a third, but Joe had kids get it.  I’m tired, but ok.   Headache gone.  Right hip still throbbing.  Minor dizziness – increases when I move too fast.

2:52pm –Right thigh is cramping.  Starting to feel icy sensation from inside out in right hip.

9:12pm –Quite sore all over right now.  Took an hour nap early evening bc I so tired I couldn’t go anymore.  Can feel my heart beating, hands ache, eyes feel blurry on edges only, trouble with talking, whole body is aching now.

11:38pm –Body hurts from shoulders down to toes, calves are throbbing, need to use bathroom more, extra thirsty, feel exhausted, but can’t sleep (usually read a book or play games until I fall asleep). Took pain rx and muscle relaxer. Hopefully, that will help. *Strange thing is the only book I’ve been able to read thus far is my Bible – any other book causes my eyes to water and dance all over pages  making difficult  reading.

7:42am –Woke up just before alarm thinking I overslept. My body aches all over.  Heart beating hard.  My hands, thorax, and feet feel like Art has come to visit.  Lower back and butt have burning pain.  Eyes feel loke I’m looking thru a tunnel.  Just feel like crying. 

Missing Jakob today.

I feel like I’m falling apart and everyone else in my family is too bc I can’t do it.

11:28am –I have the hardest time focusing when I play the piano for church. My right hip hurts so bad!  Able to sing “The Lighthouse” for special today.  Had Joes stand behind me for support.

11:52am – Sharp random pain in bottom of right foot causing me to jerk.  Trouble spelling and typin  notes – thank the Lord for spell check.

2:52pm – I hurt so bad right now – pain mainly in lower back.  Heart beating hard.  I’m exhausted. 

I jumped and covered my eyes when a waitress dropped a plate at restaurant.  It was so loud to me it was as if she was next to me and she was across the room. Jump easily these days.
