March 26
700 woke to nerves twitching randomly thru body quickly…felt weird. Did some deep breaths to get them to calm down. In doing so I fell back to sleep until alarm went off.
Whole body stiff and achy. Hands and feet throbbing. Rt hip aches. Stinging pain is mild.
Bible Reading: Ruth; Psalm 43:3
900 Chiropractor appointment. Dr did master points reset for accupuncture. Couple of needles hurt going in with one shooting pain to toes lft side. Another tickled so I burst out laughing. Dr asked if I was ticklish. Told him I didn’t know I was there.
16 needles (1 in top of head, 2 in back of neck either side, 1 in center of shoulders, 4 in back -2 mid way & 2 lower, 2 at outer back of knees, 2 above inner ankles, 2 at inner wrists, 2 in hand between thumb and index)
130 back home and exhausted. Need nap.
Homemade pizza for dinner. Used bread machine for one crust. Back severe throbbing by time done with pizzas. Had to sit a while.
650 went for walk in neighborhood with Rae & mom. Made it to Sassy (neighbors horse up the end of the road) and back home. I was done for sure after that but I did it.
Tummy feels really bloated and hurting.
Low back throbbing, hands ache, rt wrist swollen and achy, headache, rt hip aches, feet ache, stinging needle pain just in upper body region. Improvement is good.
Checked my tongue in mirror after I brushed my teeth. My tongue almost looks normal…just a small patch of white in middle.
March 27
650 woke to agonizing pain in hands, arms, and back, and bad headache. Feels like I was beat up bad.
Joe sweet enough to massage areas with eo pain relief rub. It helps take edge off.
Bible Reading: 1Samuel 1-3; Psalm 43:3;
Weather – raining off and on all day
Exercise – decided to go do some Easter shopping. One child had bad attitude so that child didn’t get anything. Another child found shoes finally. All the walking wore me out and made legs throb exponentially. Ended up sitting on part of store’s furniture bc I couldn’t stand any more. It led to a lady asking why I was hurting. Was able to give my lightning testimony. Lady said it gave her the chills. Invited them to church. One of Ladies, Christy, works in Grand Bay Pharmacy. Said I should stop in and say hi some time. Told her I would.
Watched movie called Walk By Faith. It’s about a young man with Sickle Cell Disease. He embarrassed and gets tired of having disease. Made to do report in school on the disease and paired with guy he doesn’t like.
Took Epsom Salt bath to ease pain in legs ended up out if breath. Had to rest a while afterwards.
Feet feel like their frost bitten frozen but Joe says their not that cold yet. Whole body hurts. Hands throbbing. Lower left leg from chin to toes tourniquet tightening feeling squeezing hard with tingling sensation. Low back aches. Random muscles twitching thru body today. Skin itchy. Sneezing. Headache.

Feb 25
7:30a – woke with calves throbbing and feeling like I got beat up
10:00a- It’s apparent that we’re going to have to get our dog put down Gracie is very sick and suffering. Family had a boohoo moment. Will take her within next week.
11:25a- Joe not work today. Decided for us to turn in taxes to cpa. Though I’ve been slowly working on them since December, I’m not ready yet. Took morning to try to finish up. Feel like I’m forgetting something but don’t know what. Dropped off at cpa. Explained I think it’s all there but not 100% sure. Stressing out! Will call if they have questions.
11:55a- Headache. Brain fogging over and feels scrambled. Tailbone throbbing.
2:15p- really need to lay down a while but have to run to store to pick up Dezirae’s curtains & one of my meds.
Tongue looks a little better this morning. Discovered the gluten free bread I’ve been eating sparingly has yeast in it. Ugh!
4:00p- decided I better take some D.E. so I’ll have energy for tonight. Invited to revival services at three different churches going on this week. Feels oddly nice to be invited places for a change. Doesn’t all make sense to me, but I’ll go with the flow. I trust my husband’s judgement.
11:00p- attended revival services at another local church. Guest preacher is Andy Gleiser. Name sounds familiar but I can’t place it. It was nice visiting with people we knew. Felt like the popular kid for a change -odd but nice.
My legs are aching. Calves throbbing. Tailbone swollen and throbbing. Hands swollen and achy. Brain foggy. Toes hurt. Upper back aches.
I enjoyed having Joe home today for a change. Even though I’m in pain and waiting to take next pain rx it’s been a good day. I’m glad my faith doesn’t depend on what kind of day my God is having. Whew!
Feb 26
7;00a- finally fell asleep shortly after 2am woke at 4:30 back awake at 7a
Rt hip & low back throbbing
10:30p- went to food pantry today to get a little food to hold us over until payday. When we got home, we were getting food out of trunk. I forgot trunk didn’t stay up on it’s own. Dezirae let go as I leaned forward and the trunk came crashing down on my head!! Ouch!! I cried instantly. Went to bathroom to see if it made a mark. No thankfully. I just want to go to sleep but know I can’t. Have to give quizzes.
12:45p-Heading pounding. Need to lay down for a piece. Calves throbbing and legs feel extra heavy.
5:23p- think I’ll be okay eventually. Muscles twitching randomly throughout body. Calves ache. Back throbbing. Laying down to rest it momentarily. I’m so tired.
I can feel my muscles tensing up in thru my body. It doesn’t feel good. I can feel my.energy draining. It hurts so to lift my arms to do my hair usually have to ask Dezirae to help.
6:00p- need energy to attend revival services at another church in town. Not drinking D.E. because I was up til after 2am! Drank cup of coffee.
10:21p- enjoyed services. Guest Pastor was R. Ouellette (sp?). Revelations 3 not being lukewarm Christian. Went forward to altar to pray. Didn’t think it through. Knelt down to pray. It hurt to kneel so I ended up sitting on my butt. When it was time to get up, I thought to myself shoot didn’t think this through how am I gonna get up without making a spectacle of myself. Lord, please help. Thankfully, as I was getting up my precious husband swooped in and leant a helping hand. Brownie points for sure. Whew!
Tired but wide awake. Chest hurting, rt hip throbbing, feet and toes ache, suppose to eat lots of yogurt. Head hurts. Took muscle relaxer. Hopefully I’ll fall asleep soon. Hips hurt. Figure if I’m gonna hurt all the time I can hurt at church just as well as at home. Might as well enjoy the company of others while the pain isn’t too bad and I’m not so grouchy. I love singing. It encourages my heart so. I’m not able to sing much at our church bc of playing the piano. It’s okay cuz music sets the tone of service. I like hearing the people sing too. shoulders ache
