General update
Relations and weight The good news is that despite this week's fall from the SCD, I've still remained with an elevated amount of energy and motivation, as well as keeping a connection with life around me. I've found that lately I've only had the brain power mentally and emotionally touch my own body and do checks on how I am. But I'm finding in the past three weekends more connection to Mark enough to have great days and conversations with him when I see him on the weekend. We do live together, but work opposite shifts, so when I see him during the week, one of us is sleeping or just barely aroused from sleeping enough to say hello before dropping back off to lala land. He pointed out today he believe's I've lost some weight.. I think I've lost bloatedness. lol
Vision: My vision hasn't improved, and this week they were especially gritty. Last night I awoke with a type of headache becoming more familiar to me in the past year. I'm not a stranger to headaches, but these start right behind one of my eyes, not selectively the same eye each time. Putting pressure on my eye gives temporarily relief, but the headache still builds to an almost migraine status if I don't take care of it. They've been less frequent in the past two months, in the summer it seemed like one a week, but this morning I awoke with that same feeling. The headache in the past has not been helped with sleep, only ibuprophen, but this one did leave with sleep. That's promising, I'd much rather use sleep to cure a headache than medication.
Vitamins: I'm still taking Selenuim and Chewable Vita-Vims, although I missed a day this week. The Vita-vim I save for after the meal and it's sadly like having a candy. Whatever works! lol
Sleep, fatique and mood It was a horrible week for sleeping, wind storms and Mark's bad timing for coming home from work resulted in some night with only 5 hours sleep. At the height of my symptoms, that would have rendered me completely helpless and lost. It was difficult at work this week, I was very emotional, due to what typically for me is a lack of sleep, and I was drained enough to only want to come home after putting in a days work but overall I could still carry out a day and be productive.
Speach I don't mention speach often in updates but I did have more trouble this week putting finished sentences together and finding the words I know are there. It's never been a major issue to me, bad days are bad days and I don't get overly self concious, those that are in contact with me every day come to expect broken sentences and unfound words. This week I was stopped in my tracks a few times unable to finish communicating simply because the words wouldn't pop in my brain to allow me to spit the right words out. This week it made me feel like I looked unknowlegable and wishy washy, perhaps that's because I'm training a new employee and I'd rather sound more confident and have explainations flow so she can understand more easily. So, I'm not sure if it was worse this week or just more noticable and frustrating to me because of my interactions.
General All but three nails have broken. I've broken out this week in small bumps around my chin (typical), but my sensitivity to face products has decreased.. either that or I'm doing the right steps for once and Lush is all natural anyway.
