Feeling Poorly

I feel crappy today. Again, like I have a flu or something. But I don't think I do. I don't know... I did have a sore throat for a while, but it went away. I feel generally achy, weird tingly. And dizzy.


My left knee was bothering me again. It hurt badly last night, and I couldn't bear weight on it. Better today but not normal. My knuckles aren't as stiff as they were yesterday, so that's good. I attribute these problems to the steroids.


Sensory:
-Pins and needles: 0
-Tingles: 4--related to sickly feeling?
-Paresthesias: 2--right heel feels like finger and thumb holding it; left ball of foot near big toe feels like burning--it hurts
-Numbness: 1
-Vision: 4--same as yesterday

Motor:
-Gait: 1--just slow and effortful, but not dragging my foot anymore (I think)
-Sore muscles: 4
-Fine motor: 4
-Weak muscles: 5--I get tired walking not even far

Cognitive:
-Language processing: 2
-Memory: 1
-Attention: 0
-Confusion: 2

General:
-Fatigue: 8--came home to take a nap, but I don't think I slept. Drifted a little. Mostly laid there for three hours.
-Balance: 4--affected by dizziness
-Sleep: 5--too warm in here last night, woke up several times, probably got 7 hours but broken up
-Bladder: 4
-Anxiety: 2
