Dizzy...I guess

Something really weird happened today while on our walk, picking blackberries.  I heard squirrels fighting in a tree across the street.  When I looked up, it looked as if the trees were about ready to fall on my kids, I panicked a little and then I realized that they weren't falling down around us.  It was kind of like a under water feeling almost.  Things weren't spinning, it was wavy almost.  I don't know how else to explain it.  It has never happened to me before.  Just thought I would write this down just in case it is a symptom or something.  Thanks for reading, God bless.

Things I Have Been Working On...

     I am fighting like crazy not to let the muscle aches and the rigidness get the best of me.  At the beginning of April I started slowly working out.  I took it slow, and now I am up to doing full workouts.  I do push myself, but I do know when to stop too.   If I just sit back and give in what am I teaching my kids?  That is so not me! 
     I get sharp needle feeling pains in my head, my eyes, my legs, and arms.  These don't last too long, and sometimes I am able to play them off like nothing is wrong or I was just scratching my leg or head.  Last week though my eye felt as if it actually had something crawling around in it, but there was nothing there every time I checked.  There also has been some bathroom issues that I don't want to go into detail about.  I feel tired most of the time, I think I could sleep the day through a whole 24 hours. 
     I know that I am not depressed or worried or stressed.  I really don't have anything in my life that I stress, worry, or depressed about.  I've given everything up to God and I know that his will, will be done so why worry about.  He'll take care of me and if I have to go through anything I know that there is a lesson in there either for me or for my loved ones. 
     There is still twitching, I wish that I could video every time my leg, foot or anything does it so I will have more to show the doctor at my next visit.  So far I got a picture of my stuck muscles in my hand and a video of my foot twitching.  Hopefully with this stuff they could be actually able to tell me something more. Anyway, I guess that's it for now.  Thanks for reading and God Bless.

I have came to the conclusion that I am not going to get my body aches, and the feeling of my legs are made out of lead get the better of me.  For the last week the kids an I have been taking a walk around the neighborhood, just trying to work the stiffness feeling out of my legs.  So, I decided to try taking a bike ride.  I pushed myself all the way through, even though I wanted to turn around and go back home.  I kept going!  I might even work my way back to skating on Friday nights at our church.  I am tired, I feel as if I can't move some days.  The most thing I am tired of is not doing anything, I am going to make myself do things like walking around the block, walking upstairs, and going on bike rides.  If I don't, I might as well be in a home already!  Thanks for reading, God Bless!

My right foot

     Holy cow!  My right foot was twitching from 1:20 pm all the way until about 9:30pm.  Of course it did stop whenever I would move and do things but every time I stopped it wouldn't take long before it started all over again.  It would twitch so bad that it would make my toes move. This week as been a lot of things either progressing or something. 
     I also had the start of an optical migraine today and I was smart enough not to prolong taking the medicine.  I really didn't even have a headache; I just couldn't see so I knew it was a matter of time.  I did take the medicine, I did get a headache.  The headache didn't last for long, I have a wonderful husband that fixed dinner for us, not being able to see and all kind of plays a factor in that I guess, since I'm use to being able to see.  Other than that I had a pretty good day!  Thanks for reading, God Bless.

Weird feelings in my hands...

     This moring after the kids went to school I noticed my hands and arms felt like they needed oiling or something.  My hands were a little shaky, whenever I tried to pick up anything.  Later on in the day my left hand was stuck the muscles tightend and I couldn't move them.  They didn't stay stuck for too long.  I'm gonna start taking pictures of this when these things happen.  I guess I will do the same for my regular stiff fingers too, the regualr ones don't feel like it is the muscles.  So here is the pic of the hand.  Thanks for reading, God Bless

Something else....

Hello again,
     Tonight I actually saw my foot twitch, usually I move and I miss seeing it.  This was almost like the one this afternoon with the same feelings and movement.  Really weird!  The twitching felt strong.
Thanks for reading, God Bless.

This twitch was different

Hello everyone, I hope all is well with everyone that finds this post. 
     Today my daughter and I were at the kitchen table, she was teaching me how do make the plastic lanyard things.  Then I felt this strange tingle kind of (I really can't describe it any further than that).  I look over at my forearm.  It was twitching from my forearm, wrist and hand.  This was the first day that or the first time that a twitch has been that wide, and felt like that.  My daughter thought it was gross, she said it looked really weird because of the length it was.  Again, it disappeared as soon as I moved.  I just wish it would do this in front of the doctors. 
     My fingers on my left hand are also more rigid now.  With my hand, it's been going on for a good while, but now it is more often; just about everyday.  They get stuck and sometimes I do wonder if they will be able to move.
          Thanks for reading, God Bless.
