Today

I slept well. I worked a full day (mostly sitting in workshops and meetings) then saw one private client.


Sensory problems:
-Pins and needles: 4--in right and left feet and lower legs. Just remembered that the pins and needles were creeping along the bottom of my right foot last night, which is new. Usually it's in the heel and down the side, sometimes across the top. At this moment it's down my right ankle and around the foot; it's also in my left calf (lateral) and alone the bottom of my foot. Hm, also some on my left lateral ankle.
-Hypersensitivity: 3 
-Paresthesias: 1 (so far--evenings are when this happens, and it's only 6:40 right now)
-Numbness: Right outside heel. My fingertips are partially numb--yucky feeling. And the bottom of my left foot (ball of the foot) is partially numb).


Motor problems:
-Gait: 4
-Sore muscles: 2 (still taking ibuprofen for my back)
-Fine motor: 1
-Weak muscles: 4

Cognitive problems:
-Language processing: 1
-Memory: 2

General problems:
-Fatigue: 5
-Balance: 1


I noticed that I'm really crashing between 2:00/3:00 and dinner time. I'm wondering if the timing has to do with medication? Gabapentin's half life is 5-7 hours, and I take it between 7:00 and 8:00 am. I'm planning to beg Dr. Gabby to increase my dosing to three times a day. Fingers crossed.


Hm. Now the pins and needles are all through both feet. Ugh. Need to take my medication. Oh, it's also in my right arm and hand... mild. But mild was how it started in my feet. Sigh.
