I was very busy today with work, then getting Christmas gifts organized. I picked up kids from school and realized we had a meeting at the school at 7:00pm.
I was making lasagna for an early dinner. As I started, I felt very tired. I realized that had forgotten to eat today. It took all my energy to open 2 cans of tomato soup so I decided to lay down for a minute on the floor in the kitchen. I didn’t actually go out fully but I was laying down for over 5 minutes. My energy never fully returned. I was tired the test of the day.

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.

In the middle of a ping pong game my ear got itchy. Then I had a cramp and got dizzy.
I decided to lay down on the couch. I could still speak but my body felt limp and Ari said my forehead was hot. He took my temperature but it was cool. I rested for a few minutes. The dizziness went away. I could feel the enrgy returning.
As soon as I was able to move my feet, we resumed our ping pong game.
