Monday Evening/ Tuesday Day

Monday I did fairly well, until I got dinner cooked and was fall over dead tired.
There is the theory I may have an allergic reaction due to a coworker of David who was doing the SAME thing I was last week and drove himself to the ER on Monday thinking he was having a heart attack, when he was perfectly normal. So I took a benedryl, a twenty minute nap and felt great til I passed out at midnight.

Tuesday morning, NOOOOO BRAIN FOGGGG!!!!!!!! I woke up clear minded knowing exactly what needed to be done and where I was and everything, which is great. I then got grace to school, went to see Phillis's and worked on Kevin's "homework" We are studying and practicing drawing circles, and identifying red and blue. But once Phillis left, I felt the tiredness wave over me and I slept for an hour before picking up David for lunch.

It's now 1:33 p.m. I do believe another nap is in order, then it's off to get Grace and go home. :0)

So Far So Good...

I laid down and passed out again after I posted the blog. I slept until approx 10:30 then drug myself out of bed, and forced myself to get on with my day. I took my liquid mulitvitamin, two omega 3's (fish oil) and then I took two coral calcium supplements. By this afternoon I still felt a little tired, I made it to Sam's Club with some shallow breathing, then Wal-Mart with major hot flash...I've been cold most of the time so I've been wearing a sweater everywhere. :0(

I got home and took a B12 vitamin and have felt great all evening. It's almost 10:20 now. I got to finish mowing the yard, by rider, and we ate a well rounded meal of fresh frozen green beans steamed with long grain wild rice, and chuck roast.

My father called to give me a good reaming about not going to see the doctor, and I can see his concern. It makes me feel bad.

Though just in the past hour my chest hurts on the left side a bit, and my neck is stiff again. Hopefully it's just me staring at the computer too much and chopping peppers up this afternoon. I have a slight headache in the left temple...more dull ache then anything.

First week....

Okay, I've been complaining of confusion and severe fatigue...this is the beginning. During the past week, I've been to the gym four days out of five.

Realizing heart rate was dropping during a standard walk from 120-124 down to 62-60, did this three times. Friday was the worst, it sustained itself from 124 - 60 being the lowest and went up and down reaching 85 one time and back down for two minutes. When it started to clime and got to 85 I would feel a warm fuzzy feeling...then I got really tired and started yawning.

I slept all afternoon from 1:20 until 3:15...then laid around most of the evening because of fatigue.

This morning I feel pretty good, I got up with bells on so to speak and did my daily shower routine and coffee making, letting the dog out. I walked out to get David's coffee mug, and when I got back in I felt tired again, like I needed to lay down and sleep right then and there.

I'm craving sweets and food this morning very bad. Cheese Danish sounded good so I ate it, but I need PROTEIN in a bad way.

I will be taking a liquid vitamin this morning with a shot of organic grape juice.I will also be taking an omega 3 or fish oil to compensate. Hopefully this will help.
