Symptoms

Today is still June 10, 2010.

I wanted to talk a little about my current symptoms. I want to keep up with my changes to be able to tell the doctor what is going on and to know when it is time to start his treatment - the shots - not the asparagus.

My eyes are getting more blurry. My numbness sometimes hurts in my right arm. Sometimes I try to lift something as light as a glass of tea, and my right arm feels like my muscles are not working properly; like the tea is very heavy. My left eye seems to water involuntarily - but it is not like tears, it seems a little thicker than tears. I get tired very easily. I sleep all night - about ten hours - and wake up tired. I started going to the gym on June 7 and so far I am only working on the stationary bike for 30 - 45 minutes. It takes more of an effort than it use to. My friend Rebeca wants me to go to a dance class with her next Tuesday and Wednesday at 7:00 each night. I told her I would try it, but I do not know if I can make it. I feel like if I did not have to go home and feed the dogs, and the six aquariums full of fish, and cook, and do a ton of homework, I would be able to exercise and be okay without getting so tired. But even last week when I was not exercising, I still get tired to the point that I cannot think straight or see straight. I have to rest before continuing with my assignments. For this reason, I attempt to be ahead in my work in case I have a bad day. Somehow I manage to keep a 3.88 GPA... I surprise myself. Another symptom is loss of concentration. I will be thinking something, and know what I want to say, but cannot spit it out. It makes me feel like others think I am stupid or something. It is in my head, just have a hard time processing it. I have learned that I need to slow down and make sure I had the thought correct in my head before talking or sending an e-mail. I found that I make "stupid" mistakes lately when I know I know better. I must slow down.
