Back on Samento

Since my last post on the 19th I have been woken nightly with the same stabbing pains shooting down my forearms into my wrist and fingers. Ibuprofen helps but does not eliminate it. My hands are also sensitive to touch in certain places, as though my nerves are on the outside. I began having this pain shortly after I ran out of my B complex supplement. I am curious to see if the pains will subside after I start taking them again. I will ask my dad to pick some up tonight.

I went back on Samento two days ago and am herxing pretty hard. I am extremely exhausted and weak. I also have persistent nausea and diarrhea, which could just be a coincidence and not connected to the Samento. I just woke up after sleeping 22 hours, my heart rate fast ( around 122) but pulse faint. I feel heavy and very weak and am still having difficulty expanding my lungs and feel as though I can't catch my breath. I will take my medicine and eat something, then probably lie back down.

ow, ow, ow!

I started having muscle pain two days ago, mostly in my legs. It feels like I've run a marathon without stretching, and any movement at all is painful. Also, last night I was only able to sleep for about 3 hours due to sharp, stabbing pains running down my arms and legs, all the way to my fingers and toes. I don't know what could be causing this other than the lyme disease affecting my nervous system. Needless to say I'm a bit of a wreck today and still in a lot of pain. I had to cancel my weekly modified yoga class because of it. :(

Missing Grandma

I've been sleeping 12-16 hours a night for about the last week. I'm very glad to be getting plenty of rest without that annoying insomnia.
2 days ago I had a very strange sensation - a tingling in my left arm that that began in my hand near my thumb and moved up to about my elbow. I paid close attention to it in case it traveled farther up my arm or started to hurt, just in case it was heart related. It lasted for a few hours then faded...I still have an occasional tingle near my thumb. Both hands are pretty stiff still and achy when I use them.
Another disturbing bit or news. The last 2 nights I've had 3 very vivid dreams of my grandmother dying of a heart attack on Oct 8th (this coming Thursday). Each time it happens in her kitchen and she passes in my arms. I have had the occasional premonition, and this doesn't feel like one, but I will call her anyway just to tell her how much I love her.

A change

The stomach pain and nausea that began over 2 months ago has begun to let up. While still a bit tender in the tummy area, I can definitely feel an improvement. I still wake some nights with aching, but it's not as bad as it has been.
Also, I've lost 7 lbs in the last 2 weeks. I was worried at first as I seemed to be losing it very quickly, but it has leveled off now and is holding steady at about 122 which is still within the safe and healthy range for my height. This is also the first real clear brain day I've had in weeks. I took advantage of it and did some work on my disability appeal. I have less than 30 days to complete and mail it along with written statements and any new tests my doctor will order, so I'm glad I have the ability to work on it now.
