Teddy grabbed my right arm today above the elbow, the
other problem area. It doesn’t hurt, though the muscle has a memory of
soreness, which is really a minor threat of SCKD pain, or the memory of it. Or
both.
It
has officially been two weeks on my new diet, and this is a life changing
experience. I haven’t been taking pain killers nearly as much, though there was
a dose and half yesterday for my period. My body feels better, more whole, less
weak, more strong. I’m tolerating the cold of the air conditioner on the trains
and buses better. It’s just different. I’m excited to see how things progress
as my body produces new blood cells and the old sickled ones die away. I don’t
know how long it will take my body to make new ones, but I will keep recording
how I feel! I could not be doing this job if it were not for my diet change, I
would be too weak. It’s good not to feel so weak all the time. And I can walk
more!!!! (^_^)
The
down side is the diarrhea, that’s persisted over the past few days. But my
stomach has issues in general. I will take a laxative Thursday night to see if
that solves my problems.[1]
[1] I found out much later that there was a problem with my refrigerator
and that must have been what was causing the bloating and other symptoms as
opposed to my dietary changes.
