February 5, 2017

From the morning headache, not so severe that I am dysfunctional, but I am  weak, hardly able to move, and head very heavy and dizzy. It looks like there are two parts of me, my body and my head. They are separate, do not function together.
       In the morning DH decided to go shopping. He invited me to go too. Maybe I would feel better outside. So I did go. It was good day, worm and sunny.If there were no parking closer to door, I staid in car and he went alone. If parking was available then I went to shop, so car not far and I could return to car as I needed. Still, to walk inside the shop was too much for me. There are no one spot to take  sit and rest for awhile. I am out of breath as soon as I start to move. Pain in back became not bearable. Still, I did some shopping, and I am really very satisfied.
     Now I doubled dose of Gabapentin. Right now it is heat sensation. It was not present for pretty long, but now it is present and I have no clue why it is so. My blood sugar is good. I took 240 units of insulin total dose. I worry to take more to get low blood sugar in the morning.
     Today, as a few days before I started to take 120 units Lantus Solo Star in the morning, first shot if sugar is not low. If sugar is low then I take 80 units and then soon add another shot, 60 or 80 units. But if sugar is not low then I started to take 120 units in the morning first shot. Then next shot may be 80 units or 100 units, depend on the level of sugar or the plan what I am going to do today. If it is weekend and we do have tickets to Lincoln Center I will take 100 units before we go out. And finally after we return home I will take 80 or 60 units before bed. It is between 300 and 240 units daily dose.
     I did not practice this routine before. I preferred to avoid shot when we go to Lincoln Center. And this is why as I do think my A1C=7.9% last blood work. It is too mach fear of low blood sugar. I feel low blood sugar even when it is not really low as it is recommended by ADA. But it is all inside, how I do feel, or if I am able or not to function properly.
    Today in the morning I woke up because of very severe pain in right arm. Pain come from elbow down to the hand and down to the fingers. Middle finger most severe pain. It was looks like finger, the joint became white.  It is like when we do have frozen hands and when we come to worm place and hands start to get worm, it is very painful. About the same today with my arms and hand. I do not know why, but right arm more often has pain then left arm. When I am in car right arm get frozen and it is takes time to start it to move, and of cause it is painful. Arm is heavy, like trunk, lifeless.
      After shopping DH fixed dinner, and then I was so tied that I was not able to do anything, but go to bed and fall asleep instantly. Still, I saw the last moments of Superbowl, and I was the Victory Tom Brady. Great job, New England Patriots!
