Progression of Suckiness

Thursday: Tongue partially numb. More, I forget.

Friday: Skin pain increased, awful burning pain, right side face pain above and behind eye, fatigued. Took Vicodin.

Saturday: Clothing hurt my skin, right arm weaker, generally weak, fatigued, right side face pain same as Friday.

Sunday: Right arm same as Saturday, clothing hurt my skin, skin pain increased again, fabric on chair and pew hurt my skin, right eye a little blurry (left eye fine). Took Vicodin.

Am I having a relapse? If things suck again tomorrow, I guess I will let Alyssa and Dr. Rick know.

Sensory:
-Pins and needles: 1

Emotions: Fine. Surprisingly. Probably because my fatigue is not extreme at this point. I am a little overwhelmed by the emails I need to answer, but I am telling myself that it would be nice if I answered them... not a "need." Cognitive behavior therapy.
