to export and not lose all my info!
resolutions coming. keeping this blog active
posting to keep this open until I figure out how to export. I’ve created the file and tried to upload it to my new spot on the web and it’s coming up blank. bbl
exercise - none except walking around at the ballgame. I did clean the bathroom…
diet - hmm… I had cereal for breakfast, sweet onion terriki chicken sandwich at Subway and then 2 1/2 white chocolate macadamia nut cookies! grrr.. then spaghetti for dinner. I also had 5 twizzlers at the ballgame and some birthday cake icecream.. yeah. not good
water - 1 glass
caffeine - too much! at least 3 20 oz and some of a 1 liter
symptoms - Felt generally spacey most of the day but had the best night in a long time!
sleep - 1am - 9am
No test results yet. Nurse said they should have them today. I go for a neuro sight? exam tomorrow
exercise - none really. I cleaned the bathroom, tidied up the living room and went to my sons ballgame. I was winded just walking up the hill to the car :-( I felt depressed about it lol
diet - wow, I don’t even know what I ate as this idea of keeping track came to me late at night. I know I ate 2 or three bowls of pops.. yeah. I had a hotdog at the game and then made cube steak, mac n cheese, green beans for dinner.
water - I drank no water today. Absolutely none!
caffeine - I know that I had a 20 oz diet pepsi, a 24 oz diet pepsi and the 2 liter is half gone… way too much!
symptoms - Just a general feeling of fatigue, no energy. I didn’t want to socialize at the ballgame, didn’t really want to be there. No real visual disturbances. i did have a slight headache early in the day. Tried to go to sleep and the water bed is freaking out and is too hot. I could feel my heart beating.
sleep - 3am - 10am
I’m worried about the test results. Worried both ways. If nothing is there then I’m going crazy.. if something is there it’s not a good something!
I’m worried about going back to work in a little over a week. I don’t feel ready. I feel stretched out and confused and afraid of what is going on with me.
We had planned to go out of town this weekend to take the kids to an amusement park. I’m afraid I’ll have a “bad” day and ruin the weekend for the family.
Now… I need to come up with some positives! lol I’ll be back tomorrow
I’ve been thinking. I’m sitting here unable to go to sleep even though I took a xanax 2 hours ago… Usually I’m ready for bed in 30 mins. So, I’ve spent the last month or more worried about the symptoms I’ve been having. I finally threw a fit at the doctors office and they ordered tests and put me out of work until I can get in to see a neurologist. So… I want to come up with something to keep me accountable every single day. Like..
Exercise - what, how long and how did it feel!
Diet - What I ate, why I ate it and how it felt.
Water - Must drink and be accountable for the water
Caffeine - Have to cut back on this. I’m drinking almost a 2 liter a day!
Symptoms - What symptoms or episodes I’m dealing with. Anything significant.
Sleep - how much and if naps
Plus a daily jot down of what was going on.
I don’t know what these tests will show. Could I have a tumor? Could it be MS? Could it be an anxiety or panic disorder? Heaven only knows! I really don’t care at this point I just want to know what it is and how to fix it!
So that’s my plan and I’m sticking to it.
I really should be updating this every day.
My doctors have put me out of work until the 30th. I had an MRI and an EEG last week. Have an appt. with a neurologist on Monday. I’m anxiously waiting for the MRI results. I’m having more and more of these “episodes” where I cannot focus my vision, feel just very funny all the time. Today has been a good day so far. Saturday and Sunday however were awful.
Pray for an answer for me :-)
Weight is holding steady around 170 which is all I feel I can ask right now
Its been a long time.
I finally feel like I have some hope and feel like I am getting my life back. I have been diagnosed with a complex type of migraine. It mostly does not have pain. Sounds great I know… but in reality it really sucks! I get visual disturbances, feel dizzy, numb, sick at my stomach etc for hours and sometimes days.
I was to the point where I literally thought I was going crazy.
I’ve been referred to a specialist in Alexandria, Va and finally feel like I will be able to have a normal life again! It has been 4 months since the first episode that they said was high bloodpressure. What a long time to finally feel some progress!
I hope to be on here more often :-)
I need to go back and read through my posts here :-)
Work is going well. As of the 26th I was #1 in my zone!
Weight is back up to 169 again…
I am switching high bloodpressure meds. This part is interesting. I’ve felt like a zombie for months and I’m excited about the change.
