My Normal

Sleepless nights

You toss

You turn

Your body

Aches

Pain radiates from the top of your legs

to the bottom of your  feet

Prickly prickles in your arm

Neck Itches

Fingers go stiff and numb

Stomach growls….loudly … randomly

Hair is dry and brittle and falling out

Nails – chip,

                   crack

                            break

Random noises in your ear.

Buzzing,

           wind blowing,

                            refrigerator running noise

Lawd, am I about to loose my hearing??

Hay fever,  sneezing,  sinusitis

Digestive issues

Cause you to

 chew

       s  l  o  w  l  y

And not swallow too fast

to avoid choking and

Problems with your esophagus

Occasional Headaches

Light headedness and pressure

Blurred vision from perfect 20/20 eyes

Shortness of breath

Extreme Fatigue

Want to sleep but can not stay asleep

Avoid the sun, they say

(the one thing that gives you life)

Forgetfulness

Depression

Anxiety

And then you go to the Dr.

for answers

Only for him to say….

Everything

 is within

 normal

range!

HA!

 My life

(have to laugh to keep from crying)
