Sleep was not great. The kids were up a lot and the rain was pounding on the roof. Felt like I was waking up every half hour to an hour. Alarm went off at 7 o’clock. I got out of bed at 7:20. I took the tincture and oregano pills with a slice of apple. My neck and chest are very itchy and I notice a blotchy rash on my chest. Also have red and bumpy cheeks. Sometimes this happens if I wear a necklace or use a new lotion etc but I can’t think of anything like that that would have caused it today. The face could be from wearing concealer on Saturday night but maybe it was the one sip of Andrews beer I had with dinner last night? Maybe I should do a food sensitivity test.
Lots of lower abdominal pain that seemed like gas or cramping. Had a formed BM at 7:45. Abdominal pain relieved.
Left to walk to work at 7:50.
Right side squeezing all morning but manageable. At 9:45 went for a walk, got a almond milk chestnut praline latte (still with whip cream though) and took an Aleve for my abdo pains at 10:00.
Walked to the mall at 12:00. Ate food court sushi - a roll with two prawn tempura, one yam tempura, cucumber and avocado with a teriyaki sauce drizzled on it. Felt ok.
When I got back to the office I was feeling pretty crampy and like I needed to have a bowel movement. Had a soft BM at 12:45 and didn’t feel completely evacuated. Still feeling crampy.
Went to my acupuncturist appointment for 1:00. I told her about last week going to the ER the day after treatment for intense RLQ pain and she suggested different points this time. So this time I tried laying on my front (with a pillow under my chest so my stomach wasn’t completely pressed against the table) and I had points all down my spine and across my lower back and a couple in my legs. After treatment I felt kind of foggy but physically ok. A bit stiff in both hips but not bad. Drank a lot of water throughout the afternoon. Ate a digestive cookie. Took a 15 min walk at 2:45 without issue.
I still have the rash on my face and chest since this morning. Tried googling it but nothing seemed to fit. I’m wondering if it’s a reaction to food or perhaps, since I’ve always had facial flushing maybe there’s a chance I have mild lupus? Maybe will ask my GP for an ANA blood test just to see...
Walked home at 4:20. Feeling ok. Bit of stiffness in my hips and chest. About halfway home started having a bit of the squeezing pain on my right side and noticing the hip stiffness much more on the right than left. so I walked a lot slower the rest of the way which helps, but I almost feel like I’m limping because I’m trying not to jostle that side.
Took two sprays of CBD around 5:00. Ate two homemade summer rolls (rice paper, shrimp, pollock, avocado, cucumber, carrots, lettuce) and a slice of toast with cheese whiz. Took the tincture and oregano pills. Sat down on the couch to read with heating pad.
At 6:00 I got up, had the kids make some rice, I did love checks on two kids and braided hair. Then made popcorn around 7:00. Ate a few handfuls (popcorn, coconut oil, nutritional yeast, garlic salt, dill) and drank a glass of water.
At 7:30 sat back down to watch tv with kids (popcorn always seems to irritate my right side, might be the coconut oil). The kids went to bed at 8:30. I got up at 10:00, tidied up a bit, checked some stuff on the computer, then went to bed at 10:30. Face rash is feeling a bit prickly but sometimes it does that after eating salty foods (popcorn).
