May 11

800a woah I didn’t think I could hurt worse than last night. Feels like a combination of being beaten up exponentially and a rigorous workout. Every fiber of my being hurts.

Slept pretty good. Only woke couple times. One time woke to old hymn playing in my brain – one I hadn’t heard in a while. Can’t remember it now. Still tired and moving very slow.

Bible Reading: 2 Chronicles 2-5, Ephesians 4:32,

A fellow LS survivor asks the question Why me syndrome? I’m not sure how to answer bc I’ve not asked that. I’m thankful it was me and not my children. I wouldn’t even wish the constant pain and struggles on my enemies.

https://therevealer.org/the-patient-body-chronic-fatigue-syndromes-spiritual-causes-and-cures/

I know God has a purpose and a plan (Jeremiah 29:11) and nothing takes God by surprise (Isaiah 41:22-22, Psalm 139:16-17, Romans 8:28).

Beginning to wean myself off the propranolol. Start by taking only 1/2 pill at night – this starts 2nd week of doing so. If all goes well, I’ll reduce more next week.

Also, alternating reducing bp rx. 1/2 pill & 1/4 pill every other day. Been doing that for 2 weeks. Bp is 122/74 hr 62.

AM meds: Edarbyclor (1/2 & 1/4 pill every other day), Propranolol, Dexilant 30mg every other day, Echinacea, B12, Niacin, C

Pushed myself to transplant tomatoes to container garden so I won’t loose them.

Need to go get my flash drives from church so I can finish end of year grades. Need to get Jordon’s diploma soon.

Another thunderstorm coming, I can feel it.

Twill be down rest of day bc when I hurt this bad moving body is difficult and painful.

250 just finished Jordon’s and most of Raes grades. Brain hurts, head hurts, vision blurring, neck hurts, body hurts, very tired, thirsty, hot. Laying down for 30 minutes or so to rest brain.

900 center of chest hurting like I was punched. Whole body aches but not as bad as when I woke.

1030 finally finished grades for both Jordon & Rae for this school year. What a relief. Now to work on planning next year and submitting enrollment form to new cover school.

Need to focus on planning graduation ceremony to which I’ve never done before. . Lord, please help.

Slight headache, neck hurts, chest pain in center that radiates thru to back, arms, shoulders, and hands ache, hands swollen, legs and feet stinging burning throbbing pain, periodic sharp stabbing pain in arms during day, ears ringing, rt hip aches, tired but awake, cotton taste in mouth

Night meds taken, 3 Tylenol for pain, 1 tsp Colloidal Silver in water, 1 tsp Colloidal Silver swished in mouth. Can’t believe the difference on my tongue.

 

May 12

700 forgot I set alarm. It scared me awake causing muscle spasms on rt side of torso and chest. Deep breathing to calm. Took 5 minutes or so. My body aches deeply all over. Feels like I was badly beat up. Hurts to move.

Bible Reading: 2 Chronicles 6-8, Prob 31:10, 27-28

Balance check book and pay bills through this week.

1200 off to bid friends of MYSEAHOPE a fairwell as they are heading to St Vincent.

Dezirae got to help untie the ropes to help them head off on their voyage.

They gave me their van to help me get the therapy and treatment needed for my recovery. I wasn’t expecting that. It made me want to cry happy tears. I’ll miss them but pray for safe travels and that they’ll reach many souls for Him. Part of me wishes I could go.

3:45 center of chest hurting horribly. Heat pad on chest. Plus 4 Ibuprofen.

4:30 rt ear hurting. Ears ringing.

530 go to pick up van with Joe. I didn’t realize it had a moon roof that works! God is good. Talked with Hailey for while. She wanted me to sing to her several songs. Brain couldn’t think…only thought of few songs. She then requested Amazing Grace. She’s a sweetheart.

930 night meds taken. Tired but wide awake.

Whole body aches deeply. Hands swollen and throbbing. Rt ear hurts. Slight headache. Rt hip stinging throbbing. Stinging burning pain throughout body. Top of left foot feels like it was sliced with sharp knife but there’s nothing there. Center of chest throbbing with periodic sharp stabbing pain thru to back. Sinuses congested.

Thankful for…

  1. My own vehicle
  2. My family
  3. God’s grace

May 9, 2021

5:30a it’s too early to wake up. Pictures in brain going 100 mph. My whole body stinging throbbing pain.

Bible Reading: 1 Chronicles 25-27

Song – It’s a good thing to give thanks to the Lord

It hurts to move. I feel like I’ve been beaten horribly. I would stay in bed all day if it were up to me. Bad headache.

6am Joe gave me bouquet flowers & card, Jordon gave me an encased glass light up rose, dk chocolates, & card, Dezirae gave me plaque, dk chocolate covered almonds, bracelet, & card. Sweet.

640 took pain rx to take edge off. Laying back down til 7am to see if it’ll help.

7:20 headache eased. Pain still much.

900 head is swimming. Eyes hurt. Lights bothersome. Whole body aches from top of head to tippee toes.

3:30pm decided to try to trim up the azalea bush out by road. Got maybe 1/3 done and noticed bunch of dogs wandering across property. Bull dog noticed me and started to run towards me growling. I screamed bloody murder!!! Dog stopped in his tracks. Decided to pick up my cane laying near me so I’d have some defense. As I did he began running towards me growling again. I screamed bloody murder again causing him to stop. When I stopped for a breath he came towards me. I chose to scream until someone came out. Joe came running. I told him what was up. Joe got between me and the dog. The movement startled the dog causing him to lose his focus off me.

When Joe reached me, I told him I was done for today. I don’t want to get attacked by no dog. Besides my back is killing me.

Once back inside and things put away, I sat for few moments to rest and remembered that I was supposed to be working on the banners for homecoming. It didn’t take long. Makes me want a circuit so I can do the vinyl myself.

1000p it’s been a full day. Services were great today. I was even able to sing with a few of the songs though not very long. It’s challenging enough to play piano with nystagmus (it severely hinders the eye hand coordination) let alone try to sing at same time. I’m always glad when I can sing.

Dezirae, Tara, & Holly helped with the shopping to get it done quicker. Tara was hurting too. Pain was a 9.75!! I just wanted to sit on floor and cry. I’ve overdone too much.

600p glad dinner was in crockpot – potato corn chowder. Sat to rest for quite a while.

It’s all just catching up and hitting me at the same time. Lol. I’ll be okay just need a day to rest and relax.

I even enjoyed challenging a random teenager to a race while I was in the electric scooter (I won ). We all had a great laugh.

Need to rest my brain a bit in order to function through tonight’s service. Listening to wholetones music to help calm and quiet my brain.

Got in trouble y’day bc Joe asked me two questions during his sermon. One right after the other. I was attempting to answer first question but by time I could spit it out he asked second question. And it sounded as if I was arguing with him. Ugh!  Frustrating and embarrassing. At least, I made people laugh. Don’t remember the questions, but later when we were talking about the day something that was said reminded me and I let him know about it.

I may not sound or look like I’m struggling or in pain from the outside, but I do so on a daily basis. It’s frustrating to tears at times, but I remind myself that God is with me and He us my refuge and strength (Psalm 46:1).
