January 2002
Bending over causes many issues, among them: feeling like my head is stuffed with cotton
batting, dizziness/lightheaded, with head pain and thought fogs during bending. Bend too much; I have to lay down with
eyes shut. Dizzy, nauseous, sleepy, head feels full, groggy. Sometimes just looking down causes the same type of thing.
Very tired, no energy or stamina. Flu like body pain.
Sometimes the back of my head feels like a basketball, ready to pop with the pressure.
Mild to moderate head pain daily, stronger around menses.
Arm weakness/pain when doing things above the head.
Tingling in feet/toes
Always tired, cold, in pain.
Trouble just getting words out, trouble with "S's" when tired.
Forgetful, brain fogs, groggy, hard to even compile this list.
Eyes jiggle/worse when I try to concentrate on something.
Neck and back feel like they want to go stiff, pain daily.
Limited sensation on skin of both calves, comes and goes
Raynaud's in hands and feet daily
Numb face, feels swollen, rubbery, comes and goes
Coughing when swallowing, worse with water, trouble swallowing things like mashed potatoes.
Throat "tickle", causing me to cough, difficulty talking.
Hand pain/ tingles, worse with use
Arms and hands and feet turn purple all the time.
