Symptoms of Today

• Really tingly, pin-prickly, itchy sensations on my scalp, back and arms.
• Totally exhausted; had to be driven to school
• Arms don't hurt so bad (obviously since I just typed out that huge journal entry and am adding another post)
• Circulation just feels tight around biceps
• Everything tastes wrong today: sweet beautiful Clementine oranges tasted bitter and once almost like dill
• So I didn't eat much of anything today: a small cup of cereal, an orange, some crackers, a fruit leather, and about a 1/2 cup of BBQ pork
• I'm really feeling emotionally upbeat and stable
• Physically, I felt weird and surreal all day
• Tried to clean up my room but only got halfway through dealing with my laundry scattered everywhere
• Started feeling sick (i.e. totally nauseated) right at 5 p.m.
• Threw up
• Crawled to bed
• Had a really nasty headache, so I utilized a cold rag and frozen yogurt squeezer as a cold pack (since we seem to be down to one rice bag... that had been left out)
• fell immediately asleep
• slept like a log for almost three hours
• woke up feeling a little better
