@#@$$#$#$$%%% ^^&&^%^&&** &**(&**((&&^^%%$%^&&&**. I am so POed. I appearently have, from talking to my PCP, bradycardia-tachycardia syndrome which is here the heart is beating too fast and too slow and prematurely. So it is beating before it is suppost to. I am collapsing more and more. I am losing muscle strenght more and more. I am also, having problems with my eyes now that if I read my eyes start to quiver. I am not doing too well and it is making me so mad. I am sorry for all the cussing but I just needed to get it out. I am so mad that I can not get out there and be like my mother was.With her polio and her problems, she still too us trick or treating and to the zoo and so on. I can't even take them outside to play. I am hating this cuz it is continuouly getting worse, and I might need to see about a wheel chair.

Well, I am hattin this. Damn it!!!!! So, 2 weeks ago, I had a really bad stomach flu that changed my whole body. This is not funny. Now I am getting extream nerve pain in my legs and arms that feel like fire. I am having bad twitching and pressure in my right eye. I get the trimmers if I stand up and do dishes, laundry, so on. If I am talking then I go blank. and lose my ability to sound like a real person, not a retarded person. This term is used because I get this feeling under my tounge, like someone has stuck fingers under my tounge and holding down my jaw. So I am unable to sound like a normal person. I am felling like my heart has the jitters. I think it is kinda like when someone says they have had too much caffeen. I only drink one to two pepsi's a day. My fingernails are horrible looking, had to cut them all off and my skin is beyond dry. The diarea has not stopped and I am unable to eat much, so I am becomeing malnurished. I am going to do the Stress test on the tread mill on Thursday. My muscles are giving out on me left and right, so I hope I can do the hole test and see how far I can push myself before my body collapses or pass out. So wish me luck.

Well,
Well, now that my body has changed, after a bad stomach flu, I now have to change my pain meds. The pain meds I was taking no longer work. The pain has changed and moved to different locations and settled in hard in my right foot. I am still so dizzy that I am not sure what to do. Life outside of the dys is a little less hard so I am not as stressed out as I was, making a big difference. I am starting to get really antsy. I want to get up and dance, play my wii, ps2, do all of my horror video games, exercise, take my kids to the zoo, and I want to take them tricker treating. I am having a stress test done next Thursday, so I can see how much I can push. I know that the last time I tried to push myself outside, we went to the zoo. I used my walker, instead of a scooter, and almost collapsed from trying to walk up the hills. I do have a 3 year old that wants me to chase him and I almost collapse if he is does this to me. Right now, my heart is packing up and trying to leave my chest. I just don't know what to do with it.

Well, I guess I am gonna have to go up on my Lyrica. I barely brush my little toe, on my right foot, against a chair and the pain starts at the tip of the toe and moves up the leg. Then up the rest of the body causing my leg and arm to swell. It feels like what my mom described when she had cellulitis. I hate it when my nerves just have a mind of their own instead of minding my mind.
My digestive system is paying me back also, too much red pepper. I have to consume it because if I don't it causes actual blisters and it possibly cause me to have a deathly reaction. I feel like my intestines have been rubbed raw. I am sick to my stomach and the only thing that makes me feel better is eating Wheatables and ice cream.
I am trying to write down everything as a journal, and I know that it is all jumbled up but that is how my brain works. I never have been good at reading, and I am really bad about keeping the passion alive on projects. I don't know, I just feel so bad right now that I just am even having trouble consentrating on not throwing up.

Today, I had extreme muscle weakness. I felt like I had weights hanging from my muscles. Mu neck and jaw was extremely heavy. I felt like I had concrete for bones, and I had something tied around my neck causing lack of blood flow to my head. I have been having cramps around the artery on the right side of my neck and a headache, on and off. My right eye has felt like the lens is flipping, not wearing contacts, which I have actually had the lens fold up in my eye, can't remember which one though. I have been having problems with breathing, not asthma, but just tiredness. I am really tired and cranky. My digestive system is being way way to loud. I feel like I am playing the tuba. My intestine is swelling and unswelling. My right foot is still so sensitive that it feels like it is being broke if I touch anything. The nerves are irritated so bad, it makes me scream. I am unable to eat because of being so sick to my stomach. I do not throw up but I have gotten so close to it.
Today is not a horrible day, just not a good one. My balance is off, my blood pressure is way too high, and I am having really bad duh momments.
I have been working on my son's baby quilt and it is almost done. I have only been working on it since 2007. It is printed cross stitch, so it is not that hard to do. There is no needle work that has to be done besides that. I try to work through my hands going completely numb when I hold a needle, and the pain in my neck. After his is done, then I have to get to work on Arianna's. Her's does not have as much work to be done on it, and I also have an ABC thing that is half done. That one requires alot more detailed work. I am also, going to do my best to make my kids costumes this year. I want to have their blankets finished and the ABC framed for christmas. I know that I am asking alot for me, but I want to do these things.
I also, have to start weeding out all of the stuff that we have collected through the years and get those things ready for a yard sell. We are planning on moving back home so I can have help with raising these children and giving them a full and rich life. I am so disappointed in the mother I have become, and I am doing everything I can think of to change it. I can not see any specialist, due to money because they require travel, time away from home, my husband has no time off of work, I have physical problems with flying, and no one can help me.
When I fly, this has happened every time, even before the first pregnancy, I had to take my shoes off and completely unlace them. My feet hurt so bad from the swelling, that I wanted to cut them off. My arms became swollen and numb, I became sick to the point of holding the bag, I would have trouble breathing (high alt), and tunnel vision. I almost become violent with my body, how to explain, my nerves cause so much pain that I could peal my skin off with a paring knife, cut my legs and arms off, beat myself into unconsciousness. That is just how I feel, not with anyone else just me. Of course, when I get off the plane, I am disoriented and unbalanced. I feel so drugged up that I don't make a whole lot of sense and then I sleep, too sound, and it takes a couple of days to recoup. So flying for me is an emergency situation. And since my diagnosis, I will probably have to try to get some type of oxygen thing to carry on the plane to wear. I am getting tired and need to get sleep. Later gater.

For 9/27/10
Today was a different day. My hubby went back to work, still dealing with the Vertigo. And now the kids are having to get used to the fact that daddy will not be here. I also, am having the hardest time doing this on my own. This morning, the maintenance came in to clean the chimney and dryer vents, so that woke up the kids. I got up and was so tired I could barely see straight. On Sunday, I slept on the couch until 4 in the afternoon, and yesterday, I was not able to lay down. The kids wanted to be up playing and running through the house. Charles actually took his nap today without any protest and Arianna was a sleep, so I did not get to take my nap due to the hubby coming home on break to eat.
I am a person that is in so much pain and aches, that I wish I could lay in bed. I get up in the morning, walking like I have broken glass through out most of my body, and I have to get up to change my children and keep them out of harms way or harming something. They will not allow me to put them in the high chair all day, so I am then forcing myself to do things that I do not want or feel like doing. I have to go sit on my sons bed if they are playing in their room so they can include me, and stay out of trouble. I am only able to sit on the floor for a few mins before my legs hurt, like someone is beating them with bats. Then if I have to bend over, I get sick to my stomach, it feels like my intestines is going to explode, and sometimes, my neck starts pulsating and so does my head, like the circulation has been cut off of the right side. I could collapse from standing from any position with out warning.
I have taught myself to lay down whenever, or where ever I am if I get the burning sensation in the back of my neck or really light headed with the tunnel vision. This gets me the funniest looks from people when I am laying in a aisle at the Grocery store or doctors office. We always try to keep the toys picked up in the living room in certain spots, so I do not hurt myself.
When I do anything, my heart beats funny, I get tunnel vision (sometimes), lightheaded, weak, collapse, angry, muscle aches or weakness, and lay down. This includes, washing baby bottles, folding clothes, vacuuming, making the bed, dressing the kids, playing on the computer, talking, etc.
Now according to the doctor, my heart is back to almost 100% and everything is within normal range. My blood pressure is not controlled. Once day It might stay below 110/70 with an occasional jump up or down and other days it might stay above 140/90 with an occasional jump up or down. Then there are the days were it will be approx. 168/112 at wake up, get out of bed and then it is 100/62, then it is 137/82. This would be in 2 mins, and go like that all day long. My blood pressure changes from what side I lay on, right side low, stomach, lower, left side, 30 to 50 points higher, and back is low.
I am on a roller coaster allot and it does not stop once I am on it. Since I was diagnosed On January 18, 2010, they gave me Mestinon 180mg Time control, once a day. Since that day my hair has grown and grown. That just proves that I am getting oxygen to the scalp now. But since then, things are worse in some ways, and better in others.
I now am getting a pulling sensation in my neck on the right side, where the carotid artery is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Gray513.png. It kinda feels like when you are getting your blood pressure taken and the cuff fills up too full.
I get spasms or twitches in my left eye that you are able to see at a distance. I am tired and sleepy. I will continue posting what is going on with me later. This is kinda a journal and I do sound stupid and non educated in my writings sometimes, so please forgive me.

Welcome
Welcome to my post. I was trying to keep my journal going on Facebook and I have not been able to keep it up. I am needing to keep a journal for Disability, and for others to read and maybe learn things from me. I am getting tired so I will make this short today. But I will be working on this through out the day.
