Journal Entry for February 13, 2009 Mood

Please body -get it tigether.  Well, my tooth extraction fiasco - finally stopped bleeding 6 days later.  I got the rest of the Mercury out of my mouth the following week -to the tune of nearly $1300 dollars.  The next day for about 8 hours I FELT BETTER THAN I HAVE IN YEARS.  Unfortunately it only lasted about 8 hours.  Then the dizziness started again.  I have been trying to get off my antidepressant -even dumping half the contents of the smallest capsule out, and going to every other day.  Still the dizziness persists.  Then all the pain started coming back -chest -pretty bad, then neck back, hips knees, even arms started to hurt.  Oh No here we go again.  Did I just do too much to my body at once, or is it somehow the mercury? 

I am a tired, crabby bitch.  Totally been off the Effexor for a whole week -no dizziness for 2 days -today, just moving my eyes in my head -the world starts spinning.

We have been having trouble with our oldest , Clare, lately -she is 12.5 years and cries about every little thing -making it into a huge deal, and then gets to the point where she starts saying thing like maybe she won't be around anymore -that scvares the crap out of me.  We talked to our marriage counselor about it, and we are supposed to set limits with consequences, stick to them and ignore the fits -but she still kepps trying to suck us in.  The fibro and fatigue Doc I go to suggested a book abou "raising the difficult child with a nurturing heart" -I ordered it on amazon, then I got a notice saying they are refunding my money -so I guess I have to order it again.

Work -what can I say -it is a mess.  I worked 13 hours 2 days ago, and about 16 hours yesterday -today I feel like "deep fried ass" -again -still -whatever.

Daryl -Ok for the most part -wish he would quit drinking and smoking and start taking care of hinself.

So I guess I am in the midst of a fibro flare -still wonder if I have another PE with the bad chest pain and dizziness.  I somehow gained 10 pounds in2 weeks -is that possible or is something else wrong.  Now I am a FAT COW in pain.  I know I need to make my diet better.

F and F appointment.  Need to start the chelation therapy for the mercury and lead toxicity, but hold off until feel better from what ever is causing present symptoms.  treatment will be for 4-6 months plus i have to start taking Alpha-lipoic acid to protect my brain from further mercury deposits since it will be mobilized back into my blood with the chelation therapy -it has the potential to redeposit in the brain.  IV vitamin and lidocaine treatment -felt fairly decent the next day or 2, then killed myself at work -so I guess i sort of shot that in the foot.

I feel like I am hanging on one day at a time.

Things have got to get better.  I slept most of the day.  Just took some pain medicine and it is stsrting to work.  Daryl usually lets me sleep in on Sat.   Morning so maybe I will feel better tomorrow.

Other weird things I want to write down. Every night I am cold so sleep with lots of blankets -sweat like crazy at night, but am still cold.  Some nights i am really itchy and it wakes me up -the night after the mercury removal especially and several nights after. -not just dry skin -it is every inch of me itching.   No matter how much extra water I drink -thought maybe the dizziness was dehydration -I just have to pee more , the more I drink -so what's the point in drinking more.  My incontinence is getting worse-even with the Sanctura -I don't have the urgency so much, but definitely an increase in leaking -does a sling stop working the longer you have it?    Chronic Hyperventilation syndrome.  Why is my CO2 always high on my blood work if  I am hyper ventilating, then i would think it would be low.  Need to find someone to give me the blood gas interpretation properly so I understand it -it seems opposite to me than what it is.  Then there is the whole potassium thing - 3.4 was too low -but 3.6 is OK -doesn't seem like that much of a difference to me and why is it low at all since I take a supplement with potassium in it 2x/day.  Is there something wrong with my kidneys to be making all this stuff off? I don't know, but why can't the Dr. figure it out, and why can't they see the inconsistantcies?    Anyone got any thoughts?  Looking for answers????

Well, snow in Ohio -school snow day -felt like I had been hit by a bus -still with bad sore throat, no voice, just feeling sick -so called off work.  Noah is sick too -really snotty yellow-green nose, eyes matted shut with yellow drainage again this morning -pretty sure he has pink eye.  So make 2 doctors appointments -one for him and one for me.  Took 35 min. instead of 14 to get to the appointment due to the snow -I have strep throat    -the doctor wasn't going to test me for it, but I think he could tell  I wanted to be tested -positive.  I hope the antibiotics will work quickly.  Noah next  -pink eye and probably adenovirus -so if the virus is in his nose, then why do we need antibiotic eye drops?  Doesn't make much sense to me -it would seem that the virus was causing the eye drainage too.  Laid in bed most of the day after going to the pharmacy to get the prescriptions filled and having a few bites to eat.  So far, Noah's asthma hasn't acted up.  Clare and Sophia played all day at a neighbor's house -probably better they are not around us sicko's.  My mouth is STILL bleeding -doctor said -it will take awhile -try washing mouth out with salt water  said I would try -but too tired.  Clare is supposed to be in a spelling bee tomorrow if there is school -it is not actively snowing right now, and people have shoveled out some.  Have to take the dogs to the vet tomorrow too.  I just hope I get some sleep tonight, and feel better in the morning.
