Bad trip last night. I freaked out, because I lost partially lost the feeling in my arms from the new meds. I woke up, and it felt like they were just dead, meat, skin at the ends of my elbows.
Mom stayed up with until 4am to keep me from flippin' out. Then I spoke to my sister on the phone for two hours until it mostly wore off.
I can feel my muscles tightening and my jaw grinding like I just came back from the bathroom in the eighties. (drug reference). I can't feel my face all the way still. It's freakin' me out.
Anxiety is a side effect of my neuro-inhibitors. Really tough time sleeping. I woke up with those tingly sharp feelings in my arms, but it was such a relief to feel them. I hope my photos got in to Adam in time. They were seven minutes late. I kept doing stuff not right. It's like I'm drunk, but not buzzed. Just like I'm packed in cotton or moving in water.
I can't just stop the lyrica after taking it so long, but I don't care about the pain. I gotta cycle off this stuff. It's like I woke up in a Kafka novel, and I'm that dung beetle that can't flip over out of bed.
Thank you guys for your encouragement. I wouldn't have even tried to send in my photos if I had't read comment yours.

Hey Christy,
Kepp smiling girl I know you will get through it all as tough as it may be. I cannot say I have ever been through anything like that before so I will not even try and imagine how terrifying it must be. I do hope you are feeling better soon.
Your pics are great and you are making so much progress on so many levels.
Take care,
Andrew
Hey girl hope you are feeling better. Sorry to hear you are going through so much but you wouldn't know it by your progress because, as everyone else said, I think you are looking great! Keep doing what you can and your fighting spirit will get you through! Talk to you soon!

Medications are scary. I know that it is difficult to take them because sometimes they only hide the pain and often are not a cure. However, keep in mind that in the Philippines you have some of the most beautiful beaches in the world and that as soon as you completely recover not only can you enjoy them but show off your new confident image.
Hi Christy - all the posts above me have said it better than I can, but although I'm a newcomer I know you can get through this.
We'll be here for you - hang in there.
Massi is right - you're looking fantastic :)
Christy, how are you feeling now? Am concerned about you and hoping that your meds are no longer causing you problems.

Hey Christy,

Take care,

Hi Christy. I read on Lyndas blog that you were going to try the pool. I think it would be great for you to get into the pool and exercise. You can do so much in the water . It will be great for your balance. You can still work with resistance either just your body or using things like pool noodles, empty plastic bottles, balls. I don't know what happened to you . I tried looking through some of your blogs but there are so many of them. You are recovering from some sort of trauma? I teach aquatic exercise and know the great benefiets of workouts in the water. You wont bulid muscle like with weights but certainly will strengthen your body. The hydrostatic pressure of the water is good for swellings, injuries. You can move more freely and probably find your joints wont hurt. Give it a go and i hope it helps you out.

Hie Christy! I really hope you get well soon. It must be terrible being on meds and drowsy and even numb.
Don't worry I'm sure you'll get better! You're starting to look better also!

Hey Christy, I hope you are feeling much much much better. Hang in there!
