I suppose medicating myself for having a cold and resting solidly last week gave me a respite from the spasticity a bit. However, now that I’m not completely down anymore, I’m being reminded of my condition.<\/p>\n

I’ve not really had any quality sleep yet.\u00a0 I have dozed, but my muscles feel like a tight drum.\u00a0 I took the cocktail yesterday and stopped the spasmodic progression twice.\u00a0 Although the spasms are gone, I am left with a fair amount of pain from the muscles.\u00a0 I hurt globally.<\/p>\n

I sometimes feel like this is a curse, a punishment for something I have done.\u00a0 My forearms, which harbor the muscles used to move my fingers, hurt exceedingly when I type.\u00a0 It is an amazing feeling.\u00a0 I can feel each individual muscle because of this as I type.<\/p>\n

The muscles feel like someone poured acid on them.<\/p>\n

My legs are propped up, but still, resting, I can feel the burn. My shoulders and chest are not happy as well.<\/p>\n

I wish I had something insightful to say.\u00a0 But, the only words running through my head right now are “Ow!” and “Darn that hurts!”<\/p>\n

Edit at 5:15 am.\u00a0 Everything hurts!\u00a0 OMG! It’s got to be hitting about pain level 7 or 8 out of 10.\u00a0 Only tremors and muscle contortions, no spasms (thank God in Heaven.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
