Month: December 2020

Dec 28

6:30a- Woke to hearing the rumbling of thubder in the distance. Can feel the rumbling in my bones. Not a way I’d like to wake up. It doesn’t feel good. A storm is close by.

3:59p- chest hurting with sharp pains. It hurts after it gets icy cold.

6:48p- sitting trying to relax for evening. Trouble getting comfortable. Whole body aches. Rt Earache. Tooth & jaw ache too. Neck hurts. Tired. Low back aches. Thirsty. Using heating pad. Feet are cold.

9:23p – rt arm and wrist throbbing, muscles in left arm spazing/twitching

10:15pm- decided to check my blog. Noticed I had my first comment. Took a bit to figure how to “approve” let alone reply. One day I’ll figure it out. Gotta keep on trying. 

I also added a new post. Still in Sept 2017 from journal entries. It’ll take me a little bit to catch up I think. One step at a time. I had to stop because it gave me a headache and my chest is hurting bad again. Need to rest. Hopefully, I’ll fall asleep quickly. Goodnight for now.

11:25. I’m so thirsty.

Dec 29

12:41am- I’m still wide awake. I close my eyes and see spinning disco balls it hurts so I open my eyes. My hands and forearms are tingling from leaning on them. Sharp pain in chest is keeping me up. I guess I’ll try that 10 breath thing and maybe counting my blessings.

7:25a- I guess it worked. I finaly fell asleep sometime after 1am. I’m still hurting but not as bad. Still very congested. Neck hurts and legs throbbing. Hands swollen and achy.

Eyes watery. Very thirsty. Headache.

8:00a- decided to make kids do Saturday clean today. I’m tired of not being able to do it and I know for certain as soon as I try I’m down again. I’m just starting to feel better from sickness I don’t want to knock myself back down. On Cipro for sinus infection. 

Kids didn’t like it too much at first but did a great job. Mom even came over and helped some so I could focus on year in review project for church & bulletin for tomorrow.

1:00p- took lunch break to rest and watched a hallmark movie. 

7:00p- Joe noticed house was clean. I feel good. 

10:00p- Dezirae had to help me do my nails. Trying to use peel n sticks but I had trouble peeling. Actually had to splice a few nails but it works for now. I’m thankful for my daughter’s willingness to help. I’m sure they get tired of me being so dependent but I haven’t heard them complain. 

11:00p- bulletins done. Year-end project is 90% done…just a few more pics to sort through & transfer to usb. I’m exhausted! 

Stuffy nose, post nasal drip, entire back throbbing, muscles in left arm twitching randomly, feet freezing even though had socks on most of day, slight headache (wore my glasses most of day to see if it’d help – while at computer), center of chest hurts. I managed to get it to pop once today which relieved alot of the stabbing pain. Wheh! That stabbing pain really wears me out.

For once in a long time, I feel like I accomplished something today. Thank you, Lord. Though I started day with thoughts of trying some stretches but that didn’t happen. There’s always Monday to start. Hehe!  

11:11p- one more thought…we got a water filter for Christmas. I’m really enjoying it. Need to remind myself to write a Thank-you. Kids have easily incorporated using it fairly easily. Yeah! 

Able to partially fix my mom’s computer too. Dezirae used google to figure it out rest of way. So smart! She wasn’t able to play any videos. It’s working now. I don’t like windows 10. Its hard to navigate when I’m used to windows 7. 

Meal planning is so difficult for me these days but it really helps keep my anxiety levels at minimum. I had a set plan with repeating breakfast & lunch schedules so I just had to plan dinners but I misplaced it. Just keep trying until something works.

Very thirsty. Sharp pain under left rib thru to back

Dec 30

6:00a- had alarm set to get up a little early, but that’s not happening. Headache. Muscles in lft leg and right side are twitching/spazing. Hands & fingers tingling pins.  Snoozing for a while.

11:00am- feeling kinda woozy. Migraine has ensued. I’ve taken relpax hoping it will help. Vision is slight foggy. Neck hurts. Playing piano for church. I’m not a fancy pianist even so its not gonna be an easy task today. Ugh!  I need to rest my brain as its been overtaxed lately. Lights hurting eyes. Wearing sunglasses indoors not good.

12:49p- feeling very weak…gonna crash for a bit

12:50p- body keeps jerking as I fall asleep

2:00p I think I may have slept for 45 minutes…nice cat nap. Headsche is easing some so that’s good.

5:30p – Mom & Joe were talking about taking vitamins. He hates taking meds even if he has to. He thinks I’m taking too many. I asked, “So what do you want me to do stop taking them for a few days?” To which he quickly replies, “Yes.” Ugh! I walked right into that one without thinking. Now I have to go without for the next few days expect for my blood pressure rx. I don’t think this is going to turn out pretty.  

11:55p- muscles in rt leg twitching, body aches all over, neck hurts, feet tingly. It’s now after 12 and I’m wide awake. I guess I’ll read the Bible on my phone for a bit. Had several books on my kindle app but they disappeared somehow and I can’t remember how to get them back.

Vitamins taking: Alpha Lipoic Acid 300mg, B complex 50, MSM 1000mg, B12 melt tabs, Calcium w/ D3, Magnesium 500mg in pm & 250mg in am, Turmeric Curcmin 500mg, Probiotic 100mil, Zyrtec 10mg

Dec 31

4:25a- woke from bad dream. every inch of me aches. I’m hot even though fan is on high. Husband and son left to go hunting. I don’t recall him giving me a kiss goodbye. 

5:01a- hands and fingers tingling and stinging. Nose stuffy. 

8:00a- I wonder if a storm is brewing bc I hurt all over. Rt ear popped & it scared me a bit. Need to get up. Still quite congested. I’m tired. Eyes watery.

10:20a- slight headache. It’s pouring outside. The nerve endings in my hands and arms are stinging.  Rt hip aches. Foggy brain. Eyes feel blurry. Resting a while to see if it helps. Activities thus far: made bed, showered, made coffee for Joe, made tea, put dinner together in crockpot (turkey soup), put a load in dryer & load in the washer, made green smoothie for breakfast

11:30a- Joe got home from hunting. Asked how I was doing. Told him I have bad headache (it’s gotten worse) and I hurt from head to toe. 

12:00p- Dad & Mom treated Dezirae and I to lunch at Olive Garden. I couldn’t eat much but enjoyed it. We went to Dirt Cheap afterwards. Found a few items. Damage less than $5. I’m ready for a nap now. Had the soup, salad, & breadstick.

3:10p- I’ve got to crash for a piece. No energy. Stinging needles in hands and arms, chest hurts, legs & feet feel like I worked out for heavy hour.  Ugh!  A short nap will help.

5:00p- wow a 2hr nap. Hands are stinging. Low back aches. Toes ache.

11:00p- staying up with kids til midnight to ring in new year. Joe works tomorrow so he’s sleeping. We are watching movie until just prior to midnight to watch new Year’s fireworks on tv.

I can’t handle fireworks anymore. Make me jump and cause pain – nerves hurt and loud noises bother me. I still like to see them from a distance.

Dec 25

12:00am- IT’S CHRISTMAS!!! The angels are singing and I know the reason the SAVIOUR is born!

Just finished wrapping presents a little bit ago…wait I just remembered two more. My back is throbbing tremendously!!! My tail bone is throbbing. I’m exhausted but excited its Christmas! Discovered a sore on left side of chest. Not sure how to treat it or what caused it. Need to get some sleep. 

9:00a- Joe has turkey in smoker. Homemade cinnamon rolls are baked. This year I cheated and bought cream cheese frosting for the topping. Joe read Christmas story from Matthew. Jordon prayed. We opened presents.

Afterwards we all pitched in to cut veggies for relish/veggie platter, potatoes in crockpot. Joe and kids helped clean up livingroom and kitchen. I felt as if I was going to crash so I went to lay down for a few minutes. Whole body aches. Nerve tips in arms & legs feel like they’re screaming “fire”.  

10:41a- homemade crescent rolls are rising and I need to rest. Eyes are getting heavy. 

11:45a- gf corn casserole in oven. Tip of tongue is tingling. Weird!

2:00p- Christmas dinner (lunch)

6:00p- Christmas dinner (supper) & presents at Grandparents house. 

9:24p- so apparently the only Christmas tradition that I actually remembered was the cinnamon rolls for breakfast. Have no clue what traditions I’m forgetting. Apparently we watch a Christmas movie together as a family as well as a Christmas parade. I thought it was only on thanksgiving? Oh, well. I guess I’ll just have to take notes and build from there.

11:06p- I’m exhausted!! Sinuses are haywire. Sneezing most of day, nasal drainage, rt ear hurts, rt jaw hurts. Hands swollen and achy, rt hip throbbing, feet freezing, eyes watery, low back aches, bright lights bothering me. 

Today was pretty good day. Took 2 naps cat just to keep going. Don’t want to spoil Christmas for the kids. Jakob goes back to college tomorrow due to work. He’s training for promotion. He did well first semester 2 A’s, 4 B’s, & 1 C. Proud of him. Just wish we could help more.

Noticed in mirror bathroom that my left eye looks kind of droopy. I notice it more when I’m extra tired or have done too much.

Dec 26

8:00a – I don’t know what time I finally fell asleep last night, but it was well after 12:30am. Woke with headache, entire back aches, both arms ache, lft arm feels like it fell asleep and is now waking up.

1030a Thankful for not only what my children are learning in school, but also being able to direct what they learn. Jordon was able to change out an electrical outlet that went bad.

11:31a- just received email notification that I have my first blog follower! Didn’t know that part was set up yet, but cool!

2:24p- muscles have been twitching randomly thru body. Rt eye twitching.

Trouble with calves cramping today. Id I walk too much it feels like someone is grabbing them and squeezing hard!!!

9:03p- eyes watery, rt ear hurts, toothaches, sinuses ache, eyes burning. Enjoying watching Christmas Hallmark movies with my family. Husband is being sweet bc I know he doesn’t like them. He’s earning brownie points for sure!

11:50p- musclez in legs cramping more. Ended up taking muscle relaxer hoping the cramping will ease enough to let me sleep a little.  Left ear ringing. Stuffy nose & congested. Left eye burning. Skin is itching and feels like ants crawling. I suppose I’ve overdone it for Christmas. I sure did enjoy being more active though. I miss it. 

Our eldest went back to college today. He was hesitant dragging feet rather. I’m sure he wasn’t looking forward to long drive by himself.  I always enjoy having him home, but things were different this time like something was wrong. I know he’s dealing with some aches due to some unexpected recent events, but there was something else too. It made my heart hurt. I can only pray God protects him, guides his path, and he obeys.

Dec 27

2:11a- thought I wrote before now…guess not.

Woke at 7am with headache, whole body hurts, lower back cramping, very sleepy too. Sleepiness is ecpected bc muscle relaxers put me out and I’m sleepy for 8-10 hours (wish I could sleep that long sometimes).

Twas gonna can pumpkin but it was rotten. Ugh! I guess I’ll wash some clothes. 

Worked on reorganizing my eBay bins & posting a few items. Started collecting data for filing taxes. If I start now maybe we can file earlier.

Talked with a friend, Kim, for a little bit. It was nice to chat and hear how God is working in their lives. 

Washed hair in sink now my lower back is throbbing & my upper legs are cramping. I’m exhausted. Gets frustrating at times but I’m still thankful to be alive.

I don’t have a clue what to make for dinner. I lost the weekly menu plan I worked on last week. It was for two weeks. Lot of good that did. Oh, well. I’ll rest a bit and ask for help. Have to do that alot now. Prayer is how I’m making it through. Thankful Jesus is with me every step of way. 

Oh, prayer. My friend is gonna try to remember to talk with her doctor about her willingness to work with me on my healing journey.

3:18 lft eye is droopy.  I noticed my eye was slightly droopy last night but thought I was just tired. I can feel it some but wouldn’t have known unless I looked in mirror. It’s just noticeable enough to cause concern. Asked for suggestions on FB group.

Did you know that lightning can occur during winter weather?

According to stormhighway.com, “Strong winter snowstorms and blizzards commonly produce lightning strikes, a phenomenon referred to as ‘thundersnow’. Lightning and thunder can occur with any type of winter precipitation – including snow, sleet (‘thundersleet’) and freezing rain.”

Actually started looking on phone to see how many drops of copaiba needed for pain & which oil is best when not feeling well.

11:50a – out last minute Christmas shopping with family. I’m am grumpy pants. All the commotion and business is not suiting me well. My body screams pain from head to toe. Jordon is looking for a wheelchair for me. Yeah he found one!! It’s at half power.

3:00p- I am spent- no more pushing at the moment. Need to go home and rest for a while. I don’t know if copaiba & peppermint helped or not – possibly so.

5:30p – burnt my neck & lip while trying to cook dinner. Oil splashed out of pan. Ouch! 

7:00p – decided to go check out new coffee house, monster, at the mall. We used to attend same church. Nice place. It was exciting to see the steady stream of customers.  What a treat! I didn’t get coffee bc I knew the caffeine would keep me up all night. Decided later to try the truffle hot cocoa. Delicious!

11:50p – stuffy nose, leg are throbbing, eyes watery, left arm & hand tingly, slight headache, legs itch. I am beyond exhausted!!!

Lightning survivor friend shares link on her website about Probiotics reducing inflammation in gutt 

https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2018/12/181213083653.htm?fbclid=IwAR0xKHtjzR0_0CdY_QPstUUwvu7W-_Nk6VQAsnbdEyKOnfHNMAjKTwMK3xg

6:48a- woke at 6am to dogs barking. I’m surely hurting all over!!! Song in head, “Oh i want to see Him look upon His face there to sing forever of His saving grace cares all past hope at last ever to rejoice”. Don’t know if lryics are correct but it sure would be nice to be rid of this throbbing pain!! 

I so need to get to a better plateau of living. Gotta wrap my mind around how. Only God can give me direction bc my doctor’s aren’t. I cling to Christ for my hope because without Him I’d surely fail and be depressed.

I knew pushing the buggy and being hit by another was gonna hurt but I didn’t think it would hurt this much. Ugh!

Once I get up I think I’ll try drinking hot tea with peppermint and copaiba essential oil to see if that’ll ease the pain.

    7:35a- when I sneeze the cartlidge in my chest pops. It hurts so. So much inflammation. Shouldn’t have eaten that sugar cookie. 

10:15a- have blister looking soar the size of a dime on left thumb. Don’t know what caused it & it’s not a blister. I tried popping it but it won’t pop. It hurts even more so when I touch it.

10:00p baked cookies for church Christmas party. I’m exhausted but wide awake. Going to bed don’t want to watch avenger dc comic movies.

Dec 20

Update: Jordon’s MRI & Echocardiogram results are normal

Specialist said it wasn’t uncommon for teens to have this issue.  She diagnosed as Vasovagal Syncope.  Said we could try increasing his salt intake first.  If that don’t work then will put him on an rx.  I’m to make sure he eats salty snacks like pickles and pretzels. Thankful for a simple and natural remedy.

8:58a- woke at 5am to use bathroom. Didn’t fall asleep until after 12:30a. Had a bad dream – don’t remember details but I do remember thinking where’s Joe when I need him why isnt he here?

I mentioned to Joe. He told me he was there and I kept pulling his hand on me and as long as he was touching me I seemed to relax some.

Neck hurts. Slight headache. Hands swollen and achy. Low back aches.

9:28a- sitting in waiting room while kids see dentist. I’m not too fond of not being able to be in exam room but he’s an older dentist and they have worked me regarding treatments and honoring my preferences. Currently trying to plan meals for the next week. I haven’t done it in weeks and it stresses me more when I have to fix meals on the fly. Thankfully, Dezirae has stepped up and asked to cook on Tuesday’s. This is such a help especially after my TBI mtgs I am so spent and exhausted some weeks I can’t even think straight afterwards.  

2:06p- both kids had cavities this time. Made appts. Stopped at grocery store as God provided $. It felt nicely odd to be able to get some of what we needed. Have to lay down I’m crashing.

3:00 – Joe had Jordon try to wake me but I had trouble waking up. Seems like I can’t get enough sleep – so tired.

4:30p – stabbing pain in brain. ouch!

7:19p- center of chest burning throb, rt arm hurts, hands swollen and achy, brain foggy. 

7:41p- inner right ear itches like crazy, chin itches too

914 Haha! My feet are an instant ice pack for my husband. This tickles my funny bone.

Dec 21

12:04a- rt leg & hip throbbing, it’s raining and cold outside, center of chest throbbing. Kind of windy at times. 

12:30a-Back n neck throbbing. Skin very itchy.

7:00a- woke with neck achy & low back throbbing. Shoulders hurt. Runny stuffy nose. Song in my mind “It Is Well with my Soul”. Though my body is in pain it kind of gives peace to my soul 🙂

9:00a- decided to work some on culminating school grades for report cards. Didn’t work on it long before it gave me a headache, blurry eyes, & foggy brain. 

9:39a- picking up produce at lil Brian’s. Tummy hurts.

11:45a- left leg twitching/shaking as if I’m sitting on a nerve but I’m not. Would video but it’s not doing it enough to be visible on video. 

12:43p- nose rt gushing blood ugh! No reason? Bp 120/86

5:36p- Jakob made it home for Christmas. Yeah!

8:01a- heart beating hard, short on breath, not feeling well, been sneezing a lot

Diffusing lavender oil for a little while. Also sprayed pillows with lavender & orange oil to see if that’ll help me sleep.

Dec 16

7:00am Joe scared me awake (not purposefully)!  I forgot to set alarm. I overslept. Need to peel potatoes.

Joe & Jordon were graciuos enough to peel & cut potatoes for me. Awh!

9:30a – tried to pick up a deaf lady for church but couldn’t get her to answer door even though her dog was barking like crazy.

11:30a – rt eye brow began twitching & very frustrating

11:24p – muscles twitching in lft thigh, rt hip throbbing, can’t seem to get comfortable, exhausted, headache, stuffy nose

Dec 17

8:11a- woke first time to dogs barking around 6am. Left calf was twitching, neck hurts, lft hand tingling. 

2nd time around 7:30a to dogs barking again! Left hand tingling, base of neck hurts, stuffy nose, upper back twingeing (wow that’s actually a word),

Chest feels tight. I guess I’ll just have to get up and start moving to ease the stiffness feeling.

It’s a good day even with the aches and pains because I was able to wake up. That strikes me odd though because one way or another it’d be a good day bc I’d either be with my earthly family or my Heavenly Father. 

11:45a- discovered I was behind in balancing the checkbook and didn’t even have last three weeks written in register! Took me about 3 hours to figure it out & now I have major headache. Took Rx. Eyes & brain feel blurry. I’m worn out now. 

1:11 In waiting room at hospital, Jordon has apt for echocardiogram & MRI. He’s had episodes of dizziness & blacking out. Praying it’s a simple fix.

Heart dr apt in January.

1:30p- asked lady checking us in if she ever met lightning survivor.  She said no, but in her senior year high school her best friend was washing dishes at kitchen sink. She pulled curtain to peek outside and was struck by lightning and killed. Said she doesn’t mess with lightning. Told her I was sorry for her loss. Think it was a bruise. I didn’t press further.

1:43p – upper back stinging

I’ll be glad when I get my blog updated so I can enter things like this daily or weekly instead of journaling and trying to remember details.

2:13p- finally getting echo done…next is MRI

When I close my eyes to rest, I see a spinning merry-go-carousel with miniature clowns dressed in burnt orange plaid outfits holding each other for dear life. Can’t keep my eyes closed for long…makes me dizzy.

2:57p- Jordon just went back for MRI. Wish I could go back with him. Should take 20 minutes.

9:30p- decided to sit and watch Christmas movies while sipping on hot cocoa with peppermint and copabia oil.

Dec 18

Research connection between zinc and b12 absorption

1059a When I got struck, my son says he felt it in his ear buds (he was on the computer at the time of the strike). Since then he has had a few bouts of dizziness, blacking out and falling. When he hits whatever he lands on, he comes to.

The most recent occurrence happened two weekends ago. I called doctor and we have been in a whirlwind of appointments since his initial visit last Wednesday. EKG, bloodwork, & MRI all normal so far. Waiting on results of echocardiogram.

Is it quite possible his episodes are a result of his shocking ear buds? Curious?

Dec 13

10:50a getting cold chills!! My entire back feels like ice. Had Dezirae check and it’s even cold to the touch. Extends from neck to just below bra line. Feet are also freezing though I have socks on.

https://www.anxietycentre.com/anxiety-symptoms/skin-feels-cold-wet.shtml

Neck is throbbing. Need pain rub applied.

The peripheral nerves are all of the nerves in the body that are outside of the brain and spinal cord (central nervous system). 

Your doctor also may suggest electrophysiologic testing known as electromyography (EMG) and nerve conduction studies (NCS). These tests measure the electrical signals in the peripheral nerves and how well the nerves transfer signals to your muscles.

Tingling sensation in back

https://www.healthline.com/health/tingling-in-back

2:30 Joe irritates me so sometimes. Ugh! Forgot about leaving for church when he gets home from work on Thursdays. Upset bc I didn’t remember and we weren’t ready. I was actually in middle of baking cookies. Have to have kids stir batter bc it’s too much for me (causes severe pain in chest & upper back). 

3:23 icy sensation in back is easing up (warming up). Lower back aching. Left leg went numb as if it felt asleep & tingling. Feel like I’m forgetting something but have no clue what it is.

I need stamps. Hands hurt. Ears ringing. Sunglasses wearing even though it’s raining. Light bothers my eyes.

Everytime I hear Christmas Shoes on radio it makes me tear up. “I want to buy these shoes for my mama sir…if mama sees Jesus tonight.” 

“Oh, I want to see Him, look upon His face There to sing forever of His saving grace  On the streets of glory let me lift my voice. Cares all past, home at last, ever to rejoice.”

3:39 headache transpiring

8:27p – I smell french fries. Center of my chest is icy burning and throbbing. It’s raining outside. Rain rain go away!

8:45p – left palm itches, shoulders hurt, neck aches, head itches

11:36p – it seems as if the nerve pain increases at bedtime. Legs ache, center of chest throbbing, toes hurt, congested, hands & arms stinging, skin itchez. When I look up info on nerve pain, the articles refer to finding root cause of pain and treating that first. None ever mention what to do if it’s caused by lightning strike injury. 

11:57 upper back and shoulders stinging

Dec 14

2:10p- fell asleep in my chair for about 15 minutes. Left hand tingling. Upper back throbbing.

11:22p- managed to get items baked that I needed to for tomorrow but it took all day. Hurting so bad had to do a little at a time and then rest with a heating pad applied for a while.  Pain still intense. Took pain Rx twice today. Also drank hot cocoa with peppermint oil in it. Muscles fluttering in left leg randomly. Face itches.
