Bible Reading: 2 Chronicles 18-20, Ecclesiastes 11:5, Psalm 81:16

Song:

Jesus, Jesus, Jesus

There’s just something about that name

Master, Savior, Jesus

Like the fragrance after the rain

 

Jesus, Jesus, Jesus

Let all Heaven and earth proclaim

Kings and kingdoms will all pass away

But there’s something about that name

 

Jesus, Jesus, Jesus

There’s just something about that name

Master, Savior, Jesus

Like the fragrance after the rain

 

Jesus, Jesus, Jesus

Let all Heaven and earth proclaim

Kings and kingdoms will all pass away

But there’s something about that name

 

230 came home exhausted from teen Car Wash. Everyone pitched in and helped and had fun too. Raised almost enough for three campers. Praise the Lord.

Couldn’t push myself anymore. Had to lay down to nap. Felt myself passing out.  Fell asleep until 5pm

Think I found a meal planning system that’s working for me. Thankful I already had an easy dinner planned. Tuna casserole with butter beans.

Finished bulletins about 10:30p. Took shower. Arms fatigued out while washing my hair.

Lord, I need wisdom on what type Dr. treatment to seek out next.

 

May 16

Bible Reading: 2 Chronicles 21-24, Psalm 89:24-37

Brain feels weird. Vision off. Peripheral vision off. Brain hurts. Headache.

I asked Joe a question (rationality of addictions). It didn’t come out right and made him extremely mad. Guess I’ll keep my distance til he calms down.

Later apologized for upsetting him it wasn’t my intention. I just don’t understand. Still don’t.

Purposely drank a soda for lunch to see if off feeling will improve. It didn’t. Not my sugar.

Search internet for possible answers…blood sugar…stroke

Go to CVS to use bp machine. Not allowed to use it. Tell pharm tech that I need to check bp to see if I need to go to hospital. He offers no help. Go to car to search other pharmacy in area that’s open. Called Walgreens. Talk with pharmacist. She gladly offers to take bp for me.

Allows me to sit 5 minutes to get accurate reading. Bp is 122/86. Pharmacist suggests I call my Dr to let them know what’s going on.

I ask question on support group if others have same issues. Several say they do.

Is your brain on fire? Symptoms of brain inflammation

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.

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

♫ In the dark of the midnight have I oft hid my face

While the storm howls above me, and there’s no hiding place

‘Mid the crash of the thunder, Precious Lord, hear my cry

Keep me safe till the storm passes by

 

Till the storm passes over, till the thunder sounds no more

Till the clouds roll forever from the sky

Hold me fast, let me stand in the hollow of Thy hand

Keep me safe till the storm passes by ♫

As the thunder roars this morning, this song comes to mind and I’m thankful that my Lord keeps me safe amidst the storms in life.

March 22

Bible Reading: Judges 10-12;

Rough night. Woke several times. Woke to arms and hands numb. Forgot to set alarm. Center of chest aches. Skin sensitive. Back stings. I’ve learned to tolerate the daily pain to a degree, but the stinging pain is not tolerable.

Stinging pain is now thru whole body. Taking tramadol to see if that’ll help.

Juicing: 3 handfuls of spinach, 1/4 lemon, 1 apple. It’s delicious!

Trying to clean ice build up out of deep freezer. Finger tips frozen and stinging. Had to ask Dezirae to help. Ouch! Sitting on hands to warm them up.

Center chest stabbing pains! Had Dezirae press on my back. She barely touched it and it popped several times. Oh, boy! Definitely time for visit to Chiropractor.

Extreme sharp pains in center of chest & lft torso!!! As if the stinging needle pain wasn’t enough. Ugh! Headache. Hands swollen and throbbing. Ankles swollen. Lower lft leg tourniquet tightening feeling with tingling to toes. Eyes are heavy. Calves throbbing. Exhausted. Rt hip throbbing.

Took pm meds, 1/2 Benadryl, Aleve, & applying heating pad to chest.

Things make you feel terrible:

  • Extreme sharp stabbing pain in chest & left torso.
  • Did too much between yesterday pulling dead leaves and today cleaning out freezer.
  • Also, bad weather coming.

Anything else that is worth noting today?

Stinging needle pain thru body not helping either.

Exhausted. Head pounding. Lights bothersome. Took Excedrin Migraine and laying down to see if I can get headache to ease. Listening to wholetones music – Open Door & The Majestic.

Started to rain on way to pick Jordon up. Forecast is severe thunderstorm next couple days. Decided for Rae & I to get our haircut today. Don’t want to be out in it tomorrow if possible.

On way to pick up Joe, semi truck scared me because he was going so fast on the on ramp to interstate. I slowed down to avoid being hit only to have a rock thrown at my windshield. I hollered bc I wanted to duck and cover but knew I couldn’t. Rae giggled saying Mom yelling isn’t going to help. To which I replied, it’s helping me. With spurts of moderately heavy rain, I was almost hit a couple times by other drivers. This put my defenses and nerves on edge increasing my pain. Then all of sudden had to slam on breaks praying I wouldn’t slide bc of accident causing back up. Tried to get Rae to have google tell us an alternate route but google being stubborn. I prayed asking God for protection and guidance. One google finally gave alternate route, I almost got hit by semi trying to pull off exit. By time we reached Joe my legs were throbbing and felt like jello so I scooted over instead of walking around car.

900 heading to bed. Pain increases and I’m feeling grumpy. Head pounding.

Is it possible to weather related migraines? Nose starting to be slightly bloody. Not a good sign.

https://www.webmd.com/migraines-headaches/headache-and-migraine-trigger-weather
