Health questions- chemicals, muscles, and stress
Hm, I am still wondering about all these health things, but I can't afford to go to a doctor who believes in things like multiple chemical sensitivities. I'm not sure if the holistic doctor I went to for a short while helped very much. I did like the crano-sacral therapy, tho.
But I wonder about these swollen lymph nodes I get in my groin from time to time (more frequently now). I wonder about the cramping that I feel in the backs of my legs several times a day (this started during a march in Cancun. I took an "Emergen-C" packet but I am not sure that it made a difference...except that I am hooked on the damn things now...I am also hooked on licuados, those delicious fruit shakes. I have finally stopped making them every day, but maybe every other day I throw oranges, a banana, and some strawberries into the blender with some water..). I just found a blog that lists cramping as a symptom of fibromyalgia. Interesting- FMS runs in my family.
What is this weird blood sugar thing that happens to me several times a day? Speaking of which, I need to eat soon or else!
Today when I got home from work, one of my roommates was taking a shower with that nasty Nature's Gate shampoo. I was so overwhelmed from the chemicals in it that I went straight to my room and had to lie down. I don't usually react that badly. I was hungry, I think, but I also immediately started to come down with a cold (I had fought it off on Monday night). I kind of took a nap, which is weird, considering I live with kids and it was dinner time. Was it really a cold?
I broke things two times in a row at a client's house this winter. I'm afraid to go back to her house. Why am I more clumsy this year than I have been since high school?
One more thing about my health: I react really strongly to changes in the weather. Like, today it was mostly cold and cloudy and windy. But sometimes the sun would come out and it would warm up. My arthritis hurts (rare until last week), I feel like there is a cloud inside of me, and it took me a really long time to get ready to go to work. Then it took me a long time to work. But getting out the door is the hard part.
Well, now it's too late to go for a walk. I think I need to go for a walk first thing in the AM, cuz otherwise there just isn't time. But how could I possibly go for a walk when I haven't eaten yet?
