730 woke from strange perplexing dream. Whole body throbbing. Torso stinging. Arms tingly. Slight headache. Center of chest hurts like I pulled a muscle lifting too much. Feet are chilly but rest of body hot.

1000 I’m totally stressing over what documentation is needed for Jordon’s driving test today.
1128 Joe went to cook brunch for us but discovered that our stove isn’t working. Ugh! At least we have instapot, crockpot, & grill to use.
1200p called pc repair shop to check on laptop. They haven’t gotten the part in yet. Ugh!
130 Joe texts me to let me know bc of covid the DMV won’t let parents inside bldg for the registration process. What!? He’s a minor that’s horribly wrong. I knew he’d take the driver test by himself but parent not be allowed in bldg. That’s wrong!!!
Then he informs me he’s suppose to Lysol his car down before taking test. You can’t even find Lysol spray on store shelves right now. This is ridiculous.
400p Chuck came over to check our stove. Discovered that outside breaker was killed during power surge…only producing 110watt instead of 220. Guys going to Lowe’s to get new breaker thing (mind went blank) to change it out.
500 This day is such a blurb. Nerves are telling me they’re stressed out. Need to lay down a piece.
800 decided to try the Lyrica to see how I react to the medicine & hope it helps. I’d much rather go natural route, bit I’m also tired of hurting all the time.
Hiccuping and burping periodically thru day. Three bms this morning.
Exhausted. Pins & needles sensation from bottom of neck to toes. Hands throbbing. Congestion off and on most of day. Mixing up of words & sayings.
I.e. one little two little three little Indians…now hear the word of the Lord. Can’t remember the other ones but kids gave me lots of weird looks then did you mean ….?
1136 exhausted. Dosed off while praying and jerked awake. Hot in part of body but cold in feet and toes. Headache. Skin itches. Chest aches.

730 had set alarm to take second lyrica pill. Fell quickly back to sleep.
930 can’t believe I slept this long. Stinging needle pain has eased. Whole body aches. Entire back burning throbbing. Sat up in bed and got very dizzy. Room feels like it’s spinning…not good. I cant take this drug. Ugh! Left hand tingling like it’s waking from sleep.
1000 Joe informs me that I was mean in middle of night to him. Said he rolled over to get close to me and rub my back but I yelled at him to stay on his own side. He asked what he did wrong. I didn’t answer. He asked again. I replied I’m hurting then rolled over and fell back to sleep. All I could do was laugh at what he told me.
Told him I couldn’t take the Lyrica bc it’s making me really dizzy, but the stinging needle pain has eased. He replied well you have to decide which one you’d rather have. I told him neither.
Joe got up and gave me two ginger pills to combat the dizziness.
1020 the cat jump up on my bed and laid in my lap and started purring for me to let her. She sat there for couple minutes then was done.
My eyes feel cross eyed.
530 craving stuffing and I don’t like stuffing. Weird. Wonder what my body is trying to tell me.
Carb cravings can be a sign you’re low in the amino acid tryptophan.
‘The body needs this to synthesise the mood-regulating brain chemical serotonin,’ explains Dr Lowe.
‘A lack of it can lead to low mood, anxiety and problems sleeping.
TRY: Upping your protein intake may help curb your carb cravings — and improve your mood.
Good sources of tryptophan include turkey, milk, eggs, cashews, walnuts, cottage cheese and bananas.
730 decided to take a bath. Concerned I may fall if I try a shower. Boy, what a work out. Took me 30+ minutes and now I’m exhausted.
All the movies Joe’s picked out today are annoying me something fierce and they don’t usually bother me. Still not feeling myself…dizzy and uneasy feeling. Stinging nerve pain is intensifying. Out of breath and need to rest
Dizzy most of day.
1130 p exhausted. Chest & arms hurt from try to clean tub before my bath. Still trying to catch my breath all the way. Hands achy and swollen. Low back throbbing. Legs ache. Lower lft leg tourniquet tightening feeling with numbness & tingling to toes. Congested.
Managed to make chocolate chip muffins. Having homemade bisquick mix helps a bunch. Feet pain pulsating. Headache. Random periodic spasming in legs. Neck hurts.
