Washing dishes

I was cleaning the kitchen and washing dishes after dinner. I almost finished, but the cup I was drying felt heavier than it should have. I immediately put the cup on the counter and walked to my bedroom. I laid down on the bed.

It took less than a minute before I could feel the energy returning. I went back and finished drying g the dishes.

Raking Leaves

I was raking the leaves in the back yard and filling the yard waste bins. After about an hour I suddenly felt myself getting very tired. It took all my strength to lift the leaves into the bin.

I squatted for a few seconds next to the bin to catch my breathe. Then I laid down on the grass and let myself rest a few more minutes. Ayva brought me some water and once I regained my strength, I finished filling the bins.

RV Show in Texas

Today we went to an RV show in Houston. I felt a little off balance the whole time we were in the stadium. The lighting really bothered me. We spent a couple hours climbing in and out of various RVs.

While climbing up into an RV I lost my balance and my strength. It was a struggle to get inside so I immediately sat down on the couch and waited for the episode to pass. My cousin thought I was going to pass out. She commented that I went very pale before I sat down. I never did pass out, but later that night we were in another store and got dizzy. I lost my balance and fell backwards flat on my back. I immediately got up and was ok. I did not have an episode, just a little dizziness.

Visiting family in Louisiana

I am in Louisiana visiting my cousin.

Yesterday I was up at 4:30am to travel to Houston. My flight was delayed 5 hours. Then I missed my connecting flight and my cousin drove to Houston to pick my up. it was a 3 hour drive to DeRidder, LA. We arrived around 11:00pm.

I was up at 7:30am this morning for my cousin’s doctor appointment. Considering the time change, it was an early morning). Yesterday I ate chicken strips. Today I ate a cinnamon bun. Around 1:00pm we went to Walmart to get groceries. While at the checkout I had an episode.

I started to get tired as we were walking toward the checkout. Normally I am full of energy, but I just leaned my weight on the buggy, hoping to get my energy back before my cousin finished checking through the groceries. I didn’t totally lose movement but my my eyes were watering and my legs were both too weak to move.

When my cousin finished, she pulled the buggy forward to go. I tried to walk but my legs just gave way and I gently fell to the floor. My cousin explained to those nearby that I was fine, just having an episode. I had use of my arms. About 20 seconds later I was able to wiggle my toes. As soon as I could, I jumped to my feet and we walked to the vehicle.

Christmas Dinner

While making Christmas dinner, I went to mash the potatoes. I barely had the strength to drain the pot. I was out of breath which normally doesn’t happen while making dinner. When I went to mash them I didn’t even have the strength to do get the potato masher through the soft potatoes. I quietly put the masher on the counter and walked to the couch.

I laid down for a minute but I didn’t go totally out. I closed my eyes and took a few breaths. I could feel the energy returning after a few more breaths. When I got up I grabbed the potato masher and was easily able to mash the potatoes. A few minutes later we served our plates.

I got my food and went to the table. My plate seemed quite heavy on my way to the table. I put the plate down and walked back to the couch to lay down again. I took some deep breaths and seemed to get my energy up. I went back to the table and ate my food.

After dinner I took the kitchen waste bin out. When I got back up stairs I was completely out of breath. I started to get dizzy and I had to sit down. I checked my heart rate on my apple watch and it was 63bpm. I felt like I had just run 5km but my heart rate was low. When I caught my breath I went into the kitchen and started loading the dishwasher. I felt the energy draining again. I laid down and my heart rate was down to 60. I decided to lay down and take a nap. About 3o minutes later I seemed to be back to normal.

I have eaten a lot of baked goods and very little protein the last few days. I also stopped taking the Serrepeptase on Christmas.
