It started around 1am pacific time last night...

All night long, I had been terribly thirsty, drinking bottle after bottle of water. But other than that, and a little mild queasiness, I felt okay. I was just deciding to go to sleep around 1am (pacific) when I became seriously nauseous and restless. Not a fun combo. I tried meditating and praying, but felt the same, so finally got out of bed, giving up on sleep for the time being. I had some alka-seltzer, which got rid of the nausea, but still felt restless, so I got online. I just suddenly wasn't sleepy at all. I stayed up until a bit after 5am, then was hit with a wave of sudden fatigue so hard I was almost afraid I'd collapse before I could get to the bed. I fell into bed, slept until 10am, then woke up feeling like shit. My head hurt and felt squeezed, my neck and shoulders felt crushed and pulled tight, I was nauseous, I was weak and dizzy, and my hands were shaking a little. Oh, and I was starving.

So I ate some pizza and cereal (healthfood, in other words ;-) but it was JUST what I was craving, so I went with it) and took some ibuprofen and more alka-seltzer. And while the symptoms have weakened, they have not gone away. I'm also very weepy and very tired.

I just thought I'd share in case anyone else was experiencing the same. My feeling is that the portal of the 27th and 28th are going to be INTENSE. I usually go through things like this two or three days ahead. I'm going back to bed now.

PEACE,

Satina
