Flexeril helped but now....

Note: Start reading at "The Why"

What happened:

The flexeril that the emergency doctor prescribed me his helping. It helped me relax my muscles. I haven't cramped up in a few days. Thank God! It left me with extreme burning and numbness in my feet and hands. Pain in my lower legs and across my right thigh. My arms are weak and I get tired very quickly. What is going on man??? UGH! My feet are so swollen and have a hot sensation sometimes  I have to take off my shoes for relief. I am only wearing tennis shoes and socks because that is the only shoe that doesn't leave some of my skin exposed. The air hurts. My feet are on fire but my bones feel ice cold. I use heat warmers for the sock/feet to help.The second time they left warps on my feet.  It hurts to drive and push the gas. So I alternate between right and left leg leading. Luckily I have had a bunch of knee surgeries so I am confident in my left leg driving. LOL.  My hands feel like they are 80 years old. My fingers hurt to move them, they hurt to grip the steering wheel, texting feels like im touching hot surfaces and it leaves blisters on the inside. My hands hurt in the dead center of them. I massage whatever hand hurts the worst with the other until I need to swap. Thankfully my hands dont always do this throughout the day. However, my feet burn all day and night long! But I can't not use my feet and hands. I can't not walk and not touch things....

How I feel:
In pain. Like I have a severe case of athletes feet lol and my hands are cripple. ugh! This too shall pass!

Bang Dem Sticks

Note: Start at "The Why" What Happened: I teach a class called Pound. It is amazing class with drumsticks that you bang together and lots of movement up and down, on the ground, back and forth. It is an amazing full body workout that I absolutely love. Today's class was horrible! Absolutely horrible! I went to hit my sticks together and my pointer finger radiated with pain. I dropped my sticks (which very rarely happens to me). I kept teaching but let go of my left stick. When we got down to the ground my hip area hurt so bad that I could barely sit, much less move side to side. I was in so much pain throughout the class. I managed to smile through the class but I just wanted to cry. But there are people to help get fit and no time or crying. My fingers also feel like I have blisters on them when I text or use them to type. And without texting you cant post to FB, IG, or talk to friends. I do all of the above a lot. Today was a very quiet day. How I felt: Scared. Wi...

The Longest Night

Note: Start reading at "The Why" What Happened: Two days ago I quit taking my Neurontin cold turkey. I did not know that you were suppose to wen yourself off gradually........I went from taking 1500mg to nothing. Help me Holy Spirit, Sweet baby Jesus! I need the father, the son and the Holy Ghost!!! All three right now! I am sweating like I  have been working out, my head hurt soooo bad and I cant stop trembling. This post wont be long because my vision is a little blurry but I wanted to write to explain the way I feel right now. It is 3 am and I have been up since 11 pm trying to not throw up or call my mom crying. I googled reactions to coming off of  Neurontin and I match most of them. Oh dear LAWD!!!! If this is what it feels like to be on drugs and come off....Never get on them but if you do just stay on them (yes this feeling is that bad). Every time I close my eyes there are images of Daffy Duck, Elmer Fudd and other characters from Looney Tunes but only half of th...

Reflecting

Hello everyone!!! I have spoken of my relationship with God in a few post but I wanted to make it clear!! I am a Christian, non-denominational, although I belong to a baptist church now. I have had several moments where I have clearly heard from God and consider myself to try and live a life pleasing to Him. Do I mess up? YES! Do I fall short? YES! Does He keep loving me? Thankfully YES!! With that being said I know that God is a healer, deliverer, way maker, provider, protector, source of peace. He is anything and everything. Through this journey (115 days) I have realized that God speaks to me sometimes through songs. I guess because I love music. I have referenced this in a couple posts. Well today was no different. In church the choir sang    Made A Way  by Travis Greene. The lyrics that really hit home for me are                               "You made a way, I don't know how but you did ...
