Keep Pushing

Note: Start reading at "The Why"

Just to get everyone caught up:

Symptoms:
      Severe: burning in feet, pain in feet when I walk, splint like feeling on legs (as if I have on a brace),          shooting pain to hip from feet, hip and lower back pain, burning in fingertips (like blisters)
      Less Severe: Pain in shoulders and arms, numbing in face on occasion and dull pain in fingers,                wrist and forearm. I feel like my muscles are not recuperating
      New: sensitive skin, pain in hands, pain in thighs, shoulders and across my chest when I move,                peeling like feeling under my toes (like the being in the pool or tub too long and your skin                    splits)

 What Happened:
Today I taught 3 fitness classes and went to work. I also did a round of my boot camp class. A real workout. My first one in months... I knew I was going to be in pain but I wasn't expecting this. I am soooo sore. Sore to the touch! HAHAHA literally. It hurts to touch and to be touched. The post tonight is not going to be long because my finger tips are on fire. Today was a good day though. I got all of my water gallon in and I feel pretty good emotionally and mentally. It has been a very long day though and I am extremely tired and hurting. I cant wait to sleep. Oh yeah, I got in a test result (1 out of 1000) saying my vitamin D level is 20 out of the possible 100, 30 is the lowest they like for you to be before your body stars having negative side effects such as fatigue, muscle weakness and joint pain....hmm! The nurse made the comment "you have the levels of a 75 year old man on  chemo" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 wait what??? How is that even possible? Lol what happened on Feb 10 that change my levels from a 31 year old vibrant female to a 75 year old man. After doing a little reading I did see that his is actually common among African Americans and Latinos. So I am taking 5000mg of Vitamin D once a week.

How I felt:
In pain but hopeful that the vitamin will work and I will begin to feel better immediately.

Note: Please start reading at "The Why" What Happened: Well the Neurontin is not helping and I have not heard back from the nurse with the results from the last visit on Feb. 28th. So I went to see him. His receptionist said that they are down a nurse and that she would be calling me with the results and making the call to set up the appointment with the nerve conduction specialist. Me: What??? She hasn't called yet? Are you serious? She was picking up the phone when I left your office last visit. You mean to tell me since then she hasn't had time to make one phone call? Her: Ma'am calm down please. There is only one of her. Me: There is only one of me. But you didn't mind charging me my copay regardless of whether I could pay it, you don't care that I came to you in pain and am still in pain possibly because she didn't do her job. No, I will not calm down.  (Within one hour she called me with my appt and blood results. Blood results showed nothing)...

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.
