the numbness and stuff hasn't really been at all affected by what foods i eat, sorry. it's hot here again, so the walking is getting more difficult/more tripping.

hi! bought lots of veggies and fruits at the store.
spinach
kale
jicama
strawberries
raspberries
cucumbers
snap peas
alfalfa sprouts


and a lot of other stuff and have been doing pretty well except the numbness has spread to my arm on the side of the thigh numbness.

i'm starting to think i need a different opinion. my doctor is saying my spine is eroding because i'm fat. all my research is saying that it might be my immune system and it could be linked to a few disorders, all of which are very serious.

she lectured me about my weight until i started sobbing, and then kept going. i have since relapsed into my eating disorder again. (i think i'm going to ask her to stop discussing my weight with me until she learns some basic fucking sensitivity) here's the thing. i'm going to get a cane and a showe...

the doctor's appointment today was confusing. oscillated a lot between 'you're clearly faking it' (evoked potential and those physical tests showed damage and she thinks i'm faking it on purpose. i promise i'm not.) and 'holy shit, that's serious.' as i was wakling out of the appointment (in tears, ...

well there hasn't been any diarrhea, i just have to go 5-10x/day and sometimes i have accidents.

i'll check out magnesium foods. it'd be great to feel better. thank you!
i just found out that tomorrow i might be able to get a wheelchair on loan for free! makes the diagnostic limbo wait not as bad.

got hit with some exhaustion, some pretty damn powerful exhaustion. now i'm trying not to just fall asleep here seeing as i'm not at home yet. //cannot wait to get a diagnosis for WHATEVER this is, instead of more tests, more tests, let's see if you feel better in two weeks, more tests, more tests, ...

small update: went to the hospital for tightness in chest and pain.
they couldn't find anything, let me go home.
now i'm just waiting for my appt tomorrow.

brain buzzing, balance problems, dizziness, leg freezing, feel. like. death. doctor's appointment needs to hurry up and get here. i am determined not to go to the hospital just because i don't feel good but this is really dramatically bad. if my mom was here shed say i need to toughen the hell up, s...

oooo. internet went off in the house, so i now have to walk everywhere. praying for snow, rain, or cold weather. was stumbling about in the heat before. are normal people able to stand the heat without falling over? praying for snow, optimally, or rain, or just cooled off weather. applying for a job...

sorry that i use ths page mostly to whine. positive note- i cleaned most of my house, yayyyy i am going to go to bed after having some hot cocoa.

the electric/buzzing feeling in my head is bad, and i contemplated going to the hospital but i don't think i'm going to anymore. going to try and sleep, and then clean my house.

more complaining about symptoms-
sleeping 16-20 hours at a time
brain buzzing (literally, an electrical feeling that my brain is buzzing.)
bowel accidents
eyes excessively watering

thank you! love probiotics, but they send me into 10 bowel movements a day and that's no fun. do like them though! thanks for the suggestions.
