Asparagus/New symptoms?

Today is June 29, 2010

I have not had asparagus in weeks. I just cannot make myself drink 4 tablespoons twice a day for two weeks, so how could I do it for the rest of my life? When I was younger my doctor told me either start eating liver (not every day!) or get shot for my anemia. I learned to love liver. The problem is, the doctor did not tell me to eat asparagus or else. My husband read that it helped cancer patients. The days and weeks I did as requested I did not see improvement. It is like a placebo that I knew was only a sugar pill.... unless I believe it will work, it will not. Now I hate asparagus and it hurt my stomach to eat (or drink) that much.

My right arm is feeling more dead every day. Some days, like today, are worse than others. It is hard for me to lift things that are light, like a remote control. It is really hard for me to staple papers together - I have to use two hands (only because I do not know how to only use my left). My right leg tends to give out on me, especially when walking my dog, Lucky - a lab- because he is stronger than I am. The right side of my face is extremely numb today. I also was extremely tired. I almost fell asleep sitting up. At work this morning, we shut down production to prepare for Hurricane Alex. I do not think this extra physical work should exhaust me so much. It was not hard work, just different work. I have these days about five times a month and it does not seem to matter if I rested that day or worked out that day - just some days I am very tired.

Well, keep checking back for more details. Let me know your thoughts. Love you all.
