I climbed into bed and within minute, I felt a strange shooting pain in my right leg. It seemed to be happening every 10 seconds or so. at first, it was just annoying. It started behind my knee and shot up into my thigh. I didn’t want to keep Tavis up so I went to sleep on the couch.
Within 10 miinutes, the pain got worse. I went to the medicine cabinet and took an Aleve for the pain. I noticed I was limping. The pain started to become so painful, I could barely put weight on my right leg. By the time I reached the bathroom, the pain was so bad I had tears streaming down my face and I was leaning over the sink because I felt sick to my stomach.
After a few minutes, the pain started to lessen so I sat on the ground. I realized moments later that I couldn’t move my toes on my right leg only/ I waited for it to come back but after a few minutes there was no change. I woke up Tavis, and he helped me to bed. Along the way, I bumped my elbow which caused a lot of blood. By the time we got that under control, I started to get movement back into my toes and eventually my leg.
I was able to limp around the bed and climb in. I fell asleep and when I woke up my leg was totally normal. I just had a sore elbow.

As I was walking Shadow. I felt really good. I walked up the hill across Como Lake and as i was going through an alley, I felt my eyes glaze over and I couldn’t focus on anything. I knew I had to find a place to sit. I sat on someone’s driveway, propped against a basketball hoop. It only lasted about 30 seconds. My nostrils started to run and my eyes watered. Then I could feel it lifting and I was able to continue my walk with renewed energy.
Lastnight, we flew in from Mexico and arrived in YVR around 1:00am. I was in bed by 2:00am and woke up at 8:00am to drive Addison to UBC.
Side Note:
Earlier yesterday morning, the walkways were wet and I slipped down the stairs in our resort in Mexico. I shredded my elbow and have some bruising on my back. I have been falling a lot more lately. I have been noticing bruises on my arms and legs from running into a doorways, or tripping on silly things. I have a bruised knee from tripping when taking the trampoline down. I also had a bruised hip from the first episode in October. Not sure if I am bruising easier or if I am just more clumsy.
This afternoon I purchased a bottle of Serrepeptase to see if it will make a difference.

We have spent the last couple days relaxing at our resort in Mexico. We are on a work trip.
We were walking back to our room from the buffet. It was about a 10 minute walk. I started to feel tired as we passed another buffet just outside our building. I thought it was a good thing we were going to the room. As soon as we turned the corner to the stairs I tried to go up the stairs and I realized I couldn’t lift my feet high enough for the stairs. Tavis noticed me struggling and sat me down. It only lasted about 30 seconds and then I started to feel better. I got up and walked the rest of the way.

Tonight we decided to eat at one of the restaurants on the resort. There were large groups sitting around the large grill. The chef cooked the food in front of us. There was a lot of heat on the grill and the stools were very high. I noticed part way through dinner that my legs were falling asleep. I thought it was from dangling so long. I got up a few times to walk around. I was quite exhausted and didn’t have a lot of energy. I also didn’t eat much because there wasn’t a lot at the restaurant that I wanted to eat.
After dinner, we decided to walk down to the buffet to check out desserts. As se were walking down the stairs, I grabbed Tavis’ hand and told him I had no energy. By the time we reached the bottom of the stairs, I could barely hold myself up. Luckily there was a chair and tavis sat me down. We all just sat there waiting for me to wiggle my toes.
Once I felt the energy returning and I could wiggle my toes, we carried on with the evening. I was still a bit tires, but it was manageable.
