April 4
7:30- woke around 5a to Joe rubbing my back. It felt good until he decided to try a vibrating massager on my back! It felt like I was being electrocuted again!!! Whole body tensed up!!! Now hurting more than I was before. Trying hard not to be in bad mood but I am.
8:00a- couldn’t take it anymore had to get up. Made biscuits and gf gravy for breakfast. Sky looks gloomy.
9:00a- mailed letter to Jakob.
9:21a- have to get ready to go with Joe to dentist. He chipped tooth and in pain he is. Been trying to make soft foods to help. Really don’t want to go anywhere yet.
In pain from head to toe, cranky, irritable, stuffy & congested, rt ear hurts…
Need to heal my parasympathetic system?
1. Control breathing (breathe slowly 4/5 in out)
2. Long walks
3. Mineral (potassium, magnesium, sodium) balance diet of meat & vegetables
4. Acupressure
Stress webinar by Dr. Eric Berg DC
11:19a- still in waiting room for Joe to be called. Don’t like what’s on TV. It’s irritating me. Guy said forget $15 hr job we need $30-$40 hr jobs. Is he nuts? Don’t people get it that when you raise work pay everything else goes up so in effect you never got pay raise in the first place? Common sense! Ugh!
Discovered I’m just taking maintenance dose of colloidal silver. Need to up it to medicinal dosage for the thrush.
Take Colloidial Silver on empty stomach 1 hour prior to eating. Am is best.
Take Probiotics pm is best.
Repair epithelial lining. Drink herbal teas (plantain, licorice, aloe vera, peppermint, marshmallow root, and slippery elm bark)
Also to heal mucus layer. Take 2,000 mg of vitamin C, 10,000 IUs of vitamin D, and a good B-complex daily. Taking 250 mg of magnesium can also help support the mucus layer.

1:40p- still in waiting room. Joe just called back few minutes ago. This office needs to learn efficient rhythm flow of patients. Continually apology without action is irritating.
Need to figure put how locate vagus nerve.
2:00p- dentist wants to pull 3 teeth, do a partial, and he has to come back because they don’t have time to do it today. Ugh! Given rx for infection I didn’t recognize. Checked good rx & called pharmacy he uses. Rx will cost $400+! Plus pharmacy is out of stock so they won’t have it until Tuesday. Told Joe he needs to ask for another rx bc we can’t afford it. He tells me to calm down. I’m so frustrated it just dawned on me that I’m sitting outside in rainstorm. It’s cold out here.
Second rx is much more affordable. $15.10
10:20p- cramping in left calf. My thought -” Oh, my acking calf!” The thought makes me giggle to myself. My whole body aches. It’s suppose to rain next five days. It’s been raining all day. My rt hip throbs. Wrist and hands throbbing. Headache. Eyes watering. Tired. Sinuses congested.
11:20p- calf cramping intensifies with every thunder roll I hear. Took naproxen.

7:30a- overslept my alarm by an hour. Woke to hearing thunder outside. Entire back immediately tensed up. Strange dreams but can’t remember details. Throat hurts. Rt ear aches & itches. Feet cold and tingly. Hands swollen and achy. Headache. Rt hip throbbing. Muscles in calves randomly twitching. Stuffy and congested. Tummy hurts.
8:00a- up and at ’em…decided to dehydrate some celery stalks. Started dough in bread maker for rolls later.
9:30a- Dezirae & I are going to perm Mom’s hair today to give her hair some body. It’ll take longer than normal bc I have to rest my arms ever so often bc they’ll burn and cramp holding them up.
1:15p- finally finished perming Mom’s hair. Thankfully, Dezirae finished putting all the lotions in at the needed times. She also helped rinse her hair. I guess you could say she got a cosmetology lesson today. 🙂
2:00p- decided to go get bushel of green beans from anniversary sale at local produce market. Going to can green beans tomorrow.
4:30p- started making dinner…homemade steak alfredo, sauteed green beans, homemade garlic rolls, & brownies. Labor of love. Forgot how much work is to make homemade gf alfredo sauce. It was delicuous though.
8:00p- received encouragement care package from my sister today. Enjoying drinking cup of organic golden peach tea in my new inspirational mug. She sent items for rest of family too. So sweet. Have to remember to send thank you note.
10:48p- think I’ve overdone it today. My hands are throbbing like toothache! Neck hurts, low back hurts, rt hip aching
April 6
10:35p- wow! I forgot to write. Up since 4:30a. Took trash to dump with mom & kids at 7:30. Stopped at McD’s for breakfast. Had trouble reading electronic signs. Had to ask cashier few questions.
Made suggestion they have printed menus for those whose brain cannot process the signs that fast. (I am currently having trouble focusing on the written word or even adjusting my eyes to focus on moving objects. It makes my brain hurt, my eyes hurt, and causes dizziness)
Started working on canning green beans around 10am. 30lbs of green beans to shuck. I cheated and used scissors. Ended up sitting on floor bc it hurt my arms to reach bowl above table to beans in put. Finished up around 3pm. Tired. Sat for a while with Joe.
5:30p- started fixing dinner.
6:30p- rested for little while before starting bulletin for church. Dezirae helped.
10:30p- I’m exhausted and hurting. Hands and wrists are swollen and hurting, low back aches, the longer I’m still the more I hurt. Feet cold and itching, legs throbbing, elbows hurt, neck hurts, chest aching, arms hurt. Â
