May 24
Woke too early. Tried to fall back to sleep to no avail. Prayed for church family.
Sinuses congested. Eyes watery. Low back throbbing. Rt hip throbbing. Legs ache. Whole body and achy. Legs and feet burning throbbing pain. Skin sensitive to touch.
Bible Reading Psalm 73:24-28, Nehemiah 1-3,
Song: Oh, Say but I’m Glad
3:22p – smelling something weird, but I can’t place what it is. It’s turning my stomach.
6:00p – Joe figured out what the smell was. It was shredded cheese in the fridge. I used it on the chicken and rice for dinner. Ooh gross dinner is ruined. At least he saved us from food poisoning. Ugh
700p decided to take an Epsom Salt bath to see if it’ll help. Soaked for 45 minutes. It felt so good.
Exhausted. Nerves tingly chilling burning sensation thru body – like I’ve been severely frost bitten. Very lethargic and lacking any energy. Legs burning stinging pain. Neck aches. Slight indigestion. Lower left leg tourniquet tightening feeling with tingling and numbness to toes. Toes stinging frozen feeling. Rt hip throbbing. Hands swollen and throbbing.

630a woke to great upper body pain. It hurts to move or lay still. Lights bothersome. Sinuses congested. Took naproxen rx.
Song: Precious and few are the moments we two can share
Bible Reading: Nehemiah 4-6 (for the people had a mind to work), James 1:19, Psalm 104:23-24
Tried 1/4 tablet for two weeks on the bp rx (Edarbyclor). Not sure that’s good idea right now. Going back to 1/2 pill daily.
Continuing 1/2 pill of migraine prevention (Propranolol) am & pm.
Continuing to take the PEA supplement one capsule am & pm. Still getting headaches but they are manageable. Only have had one major debilitating migraine in three weeks. Praise the Lord.
Adding Stress Relief Formula Tablet one in am. With all the ingredients, it’s like a multivitamin with added supplements. Probably can use it this week especially bc of graduation on Thursday.
GABA (Gamma-Aminobulyric Acid) has been helping me fall asleep faster at night. Most nights I’m dozing off within 30-45 minutes of taking it. Big improvement in my book.
Juicing: 3 handfuls of spinach, 2 small apples, 1 orange, 1/2 lemon
Folded load of towels and wash cloths. Wash few dishes. Load in wash. I’m exhausted. Need to rest momentarily.
800 Joe comes outside to watch me attempting to transplant my flowers from back of house to front. It’s taken me a week already because I can only do a little bit at a time before I hurt myself. He starts chuckling to himself (apparently I was talking to myself unawares). This annoys me so I ask him, “What?!”
He responds, “The last couple of weeks you’ve been talking different almost like a child all over again.”
I reply, “Well, someone’s gotta do it. They’re not going to transplant themselves.”
Thought I’d research why I may be talking “like a child”. My assumption leans toward the TBI.

In much pain, especially my legs and feet – stinging burning throbbing pain. Headache. Head itches. Neck hurts.
