4:50 Joe woke me to pray together. I’m groggy, but pray with him. I’m in a great deal of pain. I can tell I haven’t been getting enough sleep lately. Pain level 8/9😢. Take 800mh ibuprofen
Song: I pray
5:30 Body is itching like crazy all over. Muscles are randomly twitching throughout body.
Started using different brand of niacin last night. Think I’m experiencing the niacin flush with prickly heat and itching. Hopefully, it’ll fade soon. Morning meds and vitamins taken.

6:30 I’m exhausted. Hitting snooze for 30 minutes.
Dezirae off to school. She’s exhausted and emotional. Her sinuses are congested. Had her sniff lemon oil and gave her Tylenol sinus.

I can’t push myself anymore. Need to go back to bed. Turn on wholetones while I’m sleeping. Ended up sleeping until 9:30.
Morning juice: sweet carrot juice
Jordon messaged me. He’s not feeling well. I offered to bring him something. Got him some body armor drinks. Also got few items for dinner. Don’t have energy to juice today so I picked some up at store.
Put dinner in crockpot. Decided to paint another section of kitchen wall area. Having trouble with my hands cramping. I really need to get more magnesium. My muscles spasms are ramping back up without it.
Lunch break. Mini whole wheat pizzas, pomegranate juice, D.E. chia seed chocolate smoothie, water, and mid day vitamins.
7:10 went for walk. Walked .53 miles in 21 minutes. Took 1265 steps. My chest is hurting. Joe teased me saying I shouldn’t be painting on a ladder then. I told him I didn’t have money to hire someone to paint for me.
I need a long Epsom salt bath. Soaked for 40 minutes. Muscles thank me. Cut two inches off of my hair tonight. If I’m going to lose my hair, I’m going to do it my way. Maybe it’ll help me mentally in the long run.
I’m exhausted. Small snack – strawberries and water.
9:29 night vitamins taken plus 400mg ibuprofen for headache and pain.
Symptoms today: periodic muscle spasms some strong enough to stop me in my tracks. Left shoulder throbbing. Center of chest throbbing. Headache. Inner ears itch. Nerves stinging. Muscles ache. Lethargic and exhausted to start. Emotional. Hot flashes – though I was hot most of day. Trouble with hands cramping easily especially while painting. Whole body aches.

Sinuses congested. Thirsty. Nerves stinging. Muscles stiff and throbbing. Low back throbbing. Slight headache. Hands swollen and throbbing. Feet stinging and throbbing. My chest hurts as if I did rigorous workout. Legs feel like I walked a marathon without training. Pain 7/8.

I’m experiencing a niacin flush – skin looks like prickly heat, hot flashes, and extreme itching and burning! Ears ringing. Gotta figure out how to ease the discomfort. Ugh

*Flushing lasted almost 90 minutes. Ate applesauce and took 325mg aspirin.
10:00 oil change in car. Hot air filter changed too. All dash lights off. Yay.
Decided to mow a section of the yard. Walked .37 miles in 21 minutes with 1616 steps. I’m hot, out of breath, and exhausted. Time for a rest and mid day smoothie.
11:00 started working on designing banquet program. Got 3/4 done and computer decided to shut down. I lost everything I had just done 😭.
12:00 while waiting for computer to start up again, decided to walk across road to pick up washed laundry so I can dry them. Fed me Nepali style ramen. Visited a little bit.
1:00 work on program again. This time saving as I go.
1:45 time to meet up with Jordon. He wants to smoke some meat on grill tomorrow for dinner. I get few items for house. Jordon take groceries home while I head to pick up the girls.
3:35 I feel like I’m going to crash. Need to rest a while. Alarm set.
4:00 still very tired. In much pain. Left shoulder throbbing. Need to get ready for church.
Joe was given a bunch of crawfish at work today. Invited Holly and her kids over to eat some with us. Saved some for when Jakob comes home for visit. The meat reminds me of shrimp but the process of getting to the meat disgusts me. Everyone had a laugh at me. I didn’t care.
11:00 I’m so tired. Lft shoulder throbbing. Nerves stinging. Muscles ache deeply. Night vitamins taken.
