Lord you are beautiful, your face is all I see! Last night I went to bed without taking plaquenil (dosage is 200mg 2x a day), and I still ended up waking up in a slight fog. However controversial this may be and despite what doctors have told me to do. I decided not to take my plaquenil again this morning. To tell you the truth the fog has already started to subside after being in it for 3-4 days. I didn't wake up with stiffness in my joints for 2 days in a row now. I would say that's quite a blessing right there. The pain in my back caused by the onset and diagnoses of Acute Transverse Myelitis in 04/10 has finally started to wane. Even if just a little bit, that is better than none. When having to deal with it without cease for the past 6 months. It's exhausting. I have been icing my back all throughout the night, these past 6 months. I've had to exchange it for cold ones in the freezer every time I wake up. When I would wake up in the morning the ice pack on my back felt like a heating pad. That was because my core temp. is so high. I always need to have the air on high and freeze out anyone around me. Something very interesting though is that there only remained one cold part of my entire body; my feet. They get as cold as ice. So much so that they felt like they were burning inside. You know like when you are out in the winter, and your fingers are so frozen you need to put them under cold water first then start turning it to warm so it doesn't burn. That's the best example I can give. There is some crazy stuff that's been happening to me. Too many of them firsts and not necessarily good ones. However it is all for God's glory and his plans are perfect. I trust that!
Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and show thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not. Jeremiah 33:3
