All night my head felt like it would explode, my right leg has tensed up even more than it normally does during the night leaving me awake to tend my daughter at 4:10am with the way I was feeling and so tired that I changed her diaper leaning over her and ended up pulling my left shoulder muscle which happens very often. So... I showered in as hot a shower as I can stand... translation boiling as I love love LOVE hot water... and got ready for church. Had to leave the sanctuary and go sit in the back because my head hurt too much in the lights. Blood sugar must have been low too because I felt totally awful and had a chocolate bar which seemed to help.
After church, we drove Sis. Ruth home to St. Jean and headed back stopping at Bigway. As we left there, I got that pressure pain around my middle and up my left side front and back of my chest. Last time I had this, I ended up in the hospital. They said then that I had a bowel infection but I don't feel all the same things this time and am wondering if this is caused by the aspertame thing or something else?
I almost gave it up last night. There's a 2L of diet coke in my back hall and I was ready to come down and get it just to stop the headache. I've done that before and then resumed my no coke but decided not to this time and waited it out with a pillow over my head till morning. Honestly it's much harder this time!
Some good side effects....I am drinking more lemonade, iced tea and water... the skin on my arms isn't so dry and papery and I feel like I've tightened up a bit in the arms, fingers, hands, legs and feet departments anyway. Just enough probably for ME to notice... not everyone else sigh... although my girls say they can tell.
So... here I sit... recovering from whatever attack that was that hit me a half hour ago... and hoping and praying this awful headache will leave.
Still have another service to get through tonight.
