Hi All,
I had a terrible day yesterday. I spent the whole day with every muscle and joint aching in my body. I couldn’t do anything to get rid of the pain. My legs felt like lead and walking was a real effort. Felt like I was going to collapse, but actually my legs were OK, if that makes any sense.
I had tingling and numbness in my face too. Not only that but really bad tremors and shakes in my hands [one weird thing was that one middle finger on each hand shook on its own accord!]
It *really* freaked me out. I did some meditation and slow breathing, which appeared to do nothing [it’s very hard to meditate when you feel like this]; although I’m sure it helped later. Went to bed and had a restless and annoying sleep, with various part of my body going hot and cold. :(
The upshot today is I still have tingling in my left leg and arm with some pain. I’m putting this down to the fact that my body is suffering from fatigue and my muscles will ache for a bit. Anxiety takes its toll; I ate so little yesterday too.
I’m sure that this is just another anxiety trip. I just hate the way that all the symptoms feel so real and scary and your mind gets in a loop that’s difficult to break. I reckon I’m now in my 4th week of a variety of really debilitating symptoms; - Mr Negative is having a real good go at the moment.
Thanks for listening, I’m trying to stay positive but I do feel a bit run down.
