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!

OMG! OMG! OMG! 5-1

Note: Start at "The Why" What Happened: Today was an ok day. I worked all day chasing after clients. I taught one fitness class that uses equipment that I have to grip and hit. The pain usually comes when I hit the equipment together so I have learned to hold my left pointer finger up instead of allowing it to grip with the others. The pain is a radiating vibrating pain that goes down my finger. It is excruciating, but I have learned to adapt. In this class we also sit on the ground which is becoming harder and harder. I now have severe pain in my hips and back when sitting down. But I made it through the day! The class! and now its time for another class that requires more equipment, heavy equipment like big tractor tires and  such. Well I loaded all 4 tires, plus heavy weighted bars and various other equipment. Got to the location feeling ok so I moved the 30 plus chairs and 8 tables that needed to be moved. Luckily my friend, my right hand woman in class showed up and h...

A Village

Note: Start reading at "The Why" What Happened: Today I ask 6 friends to pray and fast with me for a healing. The bible says when two or more are together that God is there. I need God to be here. I need Him to heal my body. I am at a loss and my body is shutting down quickly. Every step is like fire, hot sand and blisters but my bones get so cold. I hate walking. But I will not quit. I have thought about a wheelchair or crutches just to have relief. Some relief would be so nice right now. But I can walk so I will. My work load has increased drastically and it is so painful.  I think about calling in every morning. But bills wont get paid that way. I can do it. I just have to will myself. My support group will help. I am so thankful that I have friends that will be there an pray with and for me. How I felt: hopeful.

It's Valentine's Day

Note: Start at "The Why" What Happened: It's Valentine's Day!!!! A special day, right? Well not so much for the single and shut in the house. Blah! I was off work all of 3 hours and I was bored! After texting my colleges (The Dream Team) and knowing I wouldn't be there for 2 days I began to just figure it out myself. So I opened my google search engine. (I know I know the worst thing you can do) What causes extreme and prolonged muscle cramps? The possibilities were so vague and lets just be real I wasn't  going to read all of them. So...gift time. Yes I am single but my dad gets me a gift for Valentine's Day every year. Outside of one year this is the only one I've ever gotten. This one is special because it's from my daddy. The one man I know will never let me down, who will always be there no matter what. Who other than God, is the only man that loves me unconditionally, my daddy! I checked my phone and nothing. Hmmm, so I text my sibling ...
