Oct 10

230 trip to Sam’s. Used wheelchair. Dezirae helped with shopping. I’m plumb exhausted. Need to rest a while.

400 actually feel hungry for a change.

430 Joe cooked dinner.

1030 feet freezing. Toes tingling. Lower lft tourniquet tightening feeling with tingling, legs throbbing, low back severely throbbing, rt hip aches, cramping in low back, hands swollen and throbbing, slight headache, constipated, stuffy

Noticed two bumps size of end of pencil eraser on lft side of neck. Put antifungal cream on them. Ringworm on neck & lft arm almost gone.

Took night meds. Hopefully melatonin will kick in soon.

 

Oct 11

700 rough night. Woke every two hours. When I woke at 6 Joe was rubbing my lower back. Upper back, shoulders, arms, hands, lower legs (below knees), & feet stinging burning pain. Making me feel agitated.

Thought I set alarm for 6:30, but apparently not. Ugh. Neck hurts.

Joe sweetly decided to help prep food for lunch today so I could focus on getting ready. Gave me hug too.

930 Joe decided to take time to brag on me for all I continue to try to do in spite of my ailments and pain. Embarrassing but nice to be thanked.

1000 Realized while playing SS song that I forgot the dessert for lunch today. I just want to fall apart. Lord help!

Do you know how hard it is to keep your composure when you’re falling apart inside?

Brain fog setting in making it difficult to focus and making me sleepy.

1100a oops. Just realized I haven’t taken morning meds. Part of my lack of energy.

1230p getting lunch prepared for us and our guests. I realize I also left the tortilla shells at home. I’m so embarrassed. The guys were already gracious enough to go buy desserts. I now have to go get tortilla shells. I am a mess today. This is only part of what can happen when I don’t get much sleep.

I did enjoy the fellowship.

I’m so scattered brained today. I guess that’s what happens when I get very little sleep the night before beside being emotional and wanting to hide.

245 I’m suppose to be sleeping right now bc I’m exhausted and need the sleep but my mind is going 100mph. Ugh. Deep breaths.

Stinging pain in arms and legs are unignorable.

645 vision & brain feels blurred. Rt hip throbs. Nerves sting. Neck hurts. Low back aches. Hands swollen.

 

Oct 12

500a woke from strange dream to hands numb and legs throbbing.

600 hands, arms, legs stinging needle pain. Sinuses congested. Eyes watery. Tummy aches. Feet cold but I’m hot. Low rt back throbbing. Tired.

Need alpha lipoic acid 600mg (+?) a day to get relief from burning stinging pain.

Maximum strength nueropathy support formula $40/month supply. A bit pricey for my pocket right now.

 

800 having trouble waking up…im so. tired

600 crashed for two hours. Woke to arms numb and hands throbbing. Feeling very weak.

724 I don’t feel well. Feeling very zapped and just blah. Think I overdid it today.

Tasks completed:

Managed to balance checkbook (takes me longer than it used to now).

Called Dr’s office & Publix re: Joe’s rxs

Called TBI re: new coordinator. Left msg. (This is concerning bc my old coordinator just set up brain testing for next month. Do. I have to start over again. Is apt still on? Lord, please turn this into a blessing.)

Called Ins Co. re: home & auto ins. (It didn’t even dawn on me that today was holiday until lady answered phone. Then I thought I was talking to answering service. Lady on other end cracked up laughing. I laughed with her but I bet she thought I was nuts. Lol. Hint: sometimes I think I am going nuts.

Washed 2 loads of clothes.

Grocery shopping for vitamins (only bought 1 of 5 needed), milk, butter, subs, & chips. Forgot about the a/c coil cleaner until I saw Home Depot. Had to stop in to get it. Must keep promise when I remember.

 

Once we got home, I was down for count. Thankful I chose subs for dinner. No energy to cook.

 

930 remembered we have ladies mtg tomorrow. Can I call in sick? Nope. Hopefully, I’ll feel better tomorrow. Refreshed lesson for little while. Brain hurts time to rest.

1030 I’m utterly exhausted. Touchy. Hurting from head to toe – pins & needles. Low back throbbing like toothache. Hands swollen & achy. Nose congested. Post nasal drip. Skin itchy. Night meds taken. Neck hurts. Shoulders sting. Ankles & feet sting. I need physical deep sleep rest and spiritual recharging. Can feel myself getting cranky. Stomach bloated and aches. Chest center burns.
