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.

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 ...

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...
