I can barely lift my left arm or it feels like my arm is being ripped apart and not only leaning to left but my right shoulder is turning towards the left.
I'll be able to walk in circles.
I have some new meds and still an infection don't know where it is so something for that, and two for Dystonia.Time will tell like always I just take everyday as it comes and go from there.
Dystonia and stress don't mix so living as stress free as possible helps but as stress is everyday you just have to say no and relax .

I am so sick of drs.and tests.It has been along time since my life has been filled with so many appointments.
It seems like everything is stopping all at once.
The detox helped alot but I'm still tired.
Frederick Dystonia is coming out full throttle attacking whereever he can so not sleeping much.
I don't sleep much anyways but muscles spazming alot even morning now so tightness all day.
Hopefully it's because of weather and not just my meds.

Letting go

I have still been very busy cleaning out my home and soon I will have to get to the corner that holds all the pictures.
My life before and after Dystonia.
I am letting go of all things that I don't need in my life. It is extra baggage,a crutch, stuff that doesn't pretain to who I am .
There was a need at the time when I started the collection but that need is no longer there so let go. Some of it I could have sold but that wasn't intention when I started collecting.
Everyone is different but if your collection is taking up needed energy Is it worth it?

Another neck pulling night so easier to move around than try to sleep.
John had a speaking part for the program and never told .He is growing up so fast.Hard to keep up with him at times.
I am still cleaning out ,mind,body and home .I have found better to have small selection than lots of everything.
This is sometimes the choices you have to make the cleaner everything is the easier it is to care for.

Well finally getting rain and what do I do twist my left shoulder so arm not moving much as it hurts and tightens .
It's hard as Dystonia mimics so many different movements disorders that it's hard to figure out what you have.
I am trying to get all the things that need to be done before winter.
Tonight John's class preforms after PTA meeting been resting most of day so I can go tonight.

Every time I start to do anything I have to stop.I can't do as much as I want to as I get tired .
The yard sale went well and the leftover stuff is not coming back into this home.
I know that I am not getting better and Dystonia is getting harder to control .
That is why I am trying to get anything that isn't used or worn is out of here and gone to places that can use the stuff.
I have to balance my life so to do that I have to have live with only what is needed.
I am really trying to seek the simplicity that I need.

Well another night of up and down. I sleep in the recliner as I can no longer sleep on a bed as can't lay on left side and if lay on back I feel like body crushing . I have slept so much on right side that all the nerves on right coming out of shoulder get pinched and lose feeling down whole arm so of course cat has to lay on me thinks it's his chair.
I am trying to seek simplicity in my life and I have had to get rid of alot of stuff and still have a ways to go.
The less you have the easier it is to take care of and then when you're gone someone else doesn't have to deal with it.
Of course this is October and not only that it has been 4 years since Mom passed away but also Angelique my baby daughter only lived 17 days. She was my first born and even though it has been 33 years I still think of her and everytime something new comes out about SIDS I pray that another family never has to go through this.
As for Dystonia my goal is that people learn about this and get the help that they need to live with this disorder.

This has been a whirlwind week and not over yet .A chance meeting with a chiropractor from www.totalbodywellnesstx.com and had x-rays done and found out Monday I also had pinched nerve in neck so I was choking more than just evening so they are taking care of me and on detox and already feel less tired even though I don't sleep well at least feeling better and with Dr. Tony O'Donnell's natural supplements www.radiantgreens.com I hope to be off all meds but 3 and see how I do.I'm giving myself to be off by November 1st.
I also got to Baylor All Saints where the Dystonia symposium in going to be held.
So much with holidays coming even though we don't do much for them. My daughter April and Ed her husband want all of us to their home for Thanksgiving. They are moving from apartment to a house this weekend. They will still be close so John can go there when he wants to and still be in same school.
Blessing and enjoy fall.
