Good Days and Bad Days

Yesterday I had a fantastic day. I rationed my energy and made it through the day without any problems. I had little to no pain, my pins and needles were minimal and only in my right foot, and my haywire-nerve tingles didn't show up at all.

Today was worse. I rationed my energy, but I still didn't have enough. My left arm is currently killing me. I have minor pins and needles in the backs of both of my thighs (sciatic nerves, I guess) and down the side of my right lower leg and under my foot. I haven't had haywire nerves, whew. I'm super weak, though. It's hard to walk. All of my leg muscles feel like I've had a major workout. I did walk around the middle school this morning going to different classrooms to see kids, but that was less walking than I would normally do at work. And I only drove five minutes each way. No reason that I should be this sore.

One thing that showed up this week, or maybe that I noticed this week, is that it hurts to raise my arms above parallel with the floor.. like above shoulder height. It feels like when you hold your arms up for a long time and the blood drains out. That kind of pain. Or discomfort? Whatever, it's not good, and it happens the second my arms go up.

My left middle finger has a little bit of pins and needles now.

I'm so tired! My hands hurt. I guess from typing. I guess that means I'm done.
