I really don't know what to make of this. I haven't had this sort of problem before. The muscle and joint problems are continuing, and worse. I can barely stand. I am taking great care so as not to fall in the process. Literally lifting myself up, using both arms and legs, is tentative. The muscles are not working right. What I often use just one or the other for getting up, I am now having to use every limb, and then do it carefully. It feels, even without stress or use, as if each of the muscles is recovering from overuse, or charlie horses. Plus the joints themselves are weak and painful to use. This doesn't make sense. Like I said, I have never quite gone through something like this. General weakness, but not muscle and joint... failure? Something.
I only missed a day and an half of medicines, then on a day, then another day and an half. This wasn't a weak of missed medicines. The only thing different is that I now use the supplement instead of more prescription medicine. I sort of went crazy on work the day before yesterday, given that I had been doing nothing. Then went shopping and shooting yesterday. But none of that should have been too much. I am back on medicine, if I am cutting insulin. Time will tell.
Still, this is almost spooky. Now I know what old people talk about when they suggest just getting up is frightening. I could handle a pretty harsh fall, probably. But not too many of of them. And I could break something, including my head. As strong as my bones are, there is no room for pride here. I'll be careful. Sleep has been really off. A few hours at a time. Actually only a few hours up and down. Bleh. It's rough. Time for another shot at some sleep. Maybe I can get a full period in. Good night.
Dang! Wishing you well, Dpomster!
ReplyDeleteIf a shotgun, draino, organic phosphates, a lack of blood, and a bad heart didn't get me, I am sure this won't either. Just something extra to suffer through and hand in for the collection plate. Weird. And painful. But I'll get through it, less painfully with a little care. Thank you for your concern, mind you. That is appreciated.
ReplyDeleteHey, though... do you know of any supplements or such that might help with charlie horses? I do have some salve, but maybe vitamins, minerals, or such? Already taking b-complex, calcium, zink, and the other few standards. But maybe some root, or somewhat exotic item? Just curious. I would take a soak bath but I'm not sure I could safely get out of the tub. Even a shower, needed tomorrow (or my next wake cycle), will have to be taken with great caution. Anyway, just thought to ask. But no real worries. You know me.
Charlie Horse, hmmm, maybe you are pregnant....
ReplyDeleteYou might be low on potassium, so you could gobble up a few more bananas and other potassium rich foods.
however, it could be a sign of something more serious.
I understand your pain though. I seriously wonked out my back this week and could barely walk.
I do hope you get to feeling better soon.
Are ya sure you're not a pregnant woman?
ReplyDeleteHmm? What have you been doing while I haven't been looking? If I were to be pregnant, you would be the father. If you want to go unlikely, go alllllll the way. *wink*
ReplyDeleteWhat is weird though, is the cramps are from my muscles not being able to hold heat. Even on warm to hot days, those muscle packs aren't warm, or hot, as the rest of me is. I am trying massage, once I realize the problem, and when I can stay awake.
Women really get cramps all over? I always thought it was jut on the internals, during the weirding part of the month. Then again, I have often attempted to know as little as possible about all that, and most women I have been with have been happy to tell me as little as possible. My "wry" humor, and puns, don't seem to pleasure women, especially regarding their twinky and et. al. I have been called many vile names in my attempt to appease the bearer of the cupcake regarding all that jazz! ;) Ah... he's not dying, SHE is merely wombeded! :p
Ugh! I have been having morning sickness... waking up to emesis. Morning, for me, means when I wake up, not necessarily in proximity to sun rises, or being awaken by the mouthful of bitter soup. Gah!
ReplyDeleteHa! .. I'll need to get back to you on this. I'm out and about.
ReplyDeleteOh, it's easy. If you slay the life off a rider, one of the horseman in civilian garb, you help birth Doom. Poison, or other, bullet or knife, could well be the seeds of destruction. Some call murder a form of sex. Though, I highly doubt if you are playing any part. Someone might be, hard to know. Or my sugar binge and missed days of medicine might just have colluded to a minor disaster of sorts. Who knows. Actually, I am sure you weren't involved, but someone could easily have put something into my food or drink. With direct aims or just because some plant worker hates their life, and customers by extension.
ReplyDeleteOf course we can get muscle spasms, tsk .. :-).
ReplyDeleteI've perused your more recent blog post and I'm so glad you are feeling better. I'll let you go back to being the Doomster and not a pregnant lass. I'm glad you can play along with my wacky sense of humor even when you are not feeling well. I always hope it might distract you. Anywho, be well, Doom!
