11.30 VOR exercises sure do initiate vertigo symptoms. Suppose to be helping…they may be, but gabapentin adds to dizziness so not so sure. I don’t think gab is helping with nerve pain. Need to figure something else out.

Woke from strange dream…I beat three strange people up for getting too close to daughter and myself in store.  Have daughter call 911. I faint just as cops and Joe show up and end up in hospital not knowing what happened or how I got there.

2.00p Able be to an encouragement and witness to newcomer at TBI today. It was encouraging to me to be able to talk about the Lord. Wore out & have headache. Need to crash a while.

3.00 fell asleep for short while. Probably could sleep more

11.59p whole body aches. Rt hip throbbing. Low back throbbing. Lower lft leg tourniquit tighten feeling with some tingling. Lft hand tingly. Neck hurts. Head hurts. Tired. Need to go to sleep. Contmplating weaning myself off the gabapentin. I don’t think it’s helping enough to make difference except to make me dizzier.

 

Nov 27

5.30 woken by sharp pain in center of chest. Felt like heart fluttering for about 5 minutes or so. Muscles in legs spasming.

Bad dream. . . I was searching for something in semi panic state. Couldn’t find whatever it was I was searching for. Sinuses congested. Trouble breathing. Eyes watery.

8.30 asked question about herbs for fibro and nerve damage last night. Funny how people assume both are about you. I’ve not been diagnosed with fibro but many have told me my symptoms mimic it. I have been told I have nerve damage from the LS and can attest to the chronic widespread pain I live with daily. What meds I have been subcribed are not helping but seem to me to make it worse at times.

Thought I’d check the functional medicine route. One person suggested checking out Amy Meyers.  Another suggested Lysine. I already take turmeric. Need to add the ginger back in. Just trying to figure out what works for me.

Whole body aches. Sore throat.

11.00a decided to work on blog for little bit. Have bad headache now. Ugh!

8.45 just finished playing scrabble with family. Had to have assistance with phone to make words. Brain hurts. Headache. Feet cold. Throat hurts.

10.50 exhausted. Headache. Throat hurts. Not feeling well. Crashing. Hope to feel better in am.

Immune blend. Benadryl. Naproxen.

Rt hip sharp stabbing pain. Random muscle spams thru body.

8.23 deciding to wean myself the gabapentin…think that’s the cause of my headache and nauceousness the last couple days. Strange though bc I’m on lowest dose right now. Still been taking it in am but not pm. Guess I need to go slower. Figure why put a poison into my body if it’s not helping ease the pain and just makes me more dizzy.
