Tonight (ok, last night since it's after midnight), I started to have some some troubles breathing. It felt like there was a lot of liquid in my lungs. Then it started to get really bad. So I took several puffs from my inhaler and that seemed to help some. At mom's advice, I put some essential oils on, and showered. After that I blogger for a bit, I didn't want to go to bed because I didn't want to not be able to breath in my sleep.
I went downstairs to take my meds for the night. Gosh was water a bad idea. It felt like I was drowning, but I wasn't wet on the outside. I headed back up the stairs, and when I got to the top, I had a bout of dizziness and shortness of breath and had to lean against the wall. The dizziness went away, but my heart started racing, and I was EXTREMELY out of breath. Like could barely breath at all. Couldn't even talk to my mom to tell her what was wrong.
In that moment I learned the literal meaning of the term out of breath. Like having no breath left at all to breathe with.
So now I'm sitting propped up in bed, still scard to sleep. I'm going to try sleeping some what propped up after I'm done with this post, we'll see how that goes.
I've been doing okay the past few days. Like always there are good days and bad days. Some days the joint pain is worse, and some days there's almost no joint pain (unless I overuse them), but there's headaches. Thankfully, they usually aren't together.
The other day I did something I regret. I googled 'is advil bad for you'. Real smart idea. I knew Tylenol was bad for your liver, so I didn't want to be taking that as liver support is one of my supplements, but did you know Advil is almost as bad for your liver? Esp if you take it more than 2x a week. Um ya, I usually take it about twice a day. You also can become addicted to both Tylenol and Advil.
I don't remember what else I read, but I haven't been able to take Advil since. I won't be able to stand it much longer before I need it again, but I will for sure be cutting my intake way down. And yes, the pain has been greatly intensified since I stopped taking it... but I'm realizing I don't NEED it and could live without it. I'm still going to take it, but not as much. Boy there are a lot of but's in this paragraph.
Found out today that my grandma has Lyme as well. You know, the grandma who gives me unwanted and unnecessary health advice, like she knows what's best for me, even though I'm me and can make my own decisions based on what's worked in the past. Oh ya, I didn't publish that post, I deleted it.
I'm not sure how bad she has it yet, or how long she thinks she's had it, my mom just mentioned it. However, that would explain many health issues she's complained about, including disturbed sleep patterns.
Oh Lyme, must you keep attacking everyone? Can't you pick on someone your own size?
