12:10  Very hot today. Pain diffuse, reminds me of the way air bubbles come out of those stones they put in fish tanks. Everything slow, motor co-ordination rubbish. Don't remember much of last night, most of it I was unconscious on sofa. Strange thoughts in my head today, I don't really feel myself. Slept badly, but wasn't too tired when I woke up. Have cried a couple of times today for no readily apparent reason and without really feeling strongly enough upset about anything to want to cry. Feel as though many things are hopeless today. I feel like it would be nice if I could switch everything off for a few hours, have the whole world stop yet still be awake, just to rest my conscious mind.

Having trouble with words, with co-ordinating speech. Was really very sick last night, nearly fainted and vomited in the supermarket. My lower back is very painful, but still diffuse pain. My taste is a bit odd, things don't taste quite right. My eyes feel too close together. Getting spasms in arms and hands and wrists.

Brain so fogged I just tried to post this to the wrong diary.

09:24  Pain already bad today. Stomach cramps. Legs extremely achey, crampy in calves. More bad dreams, fitful sleep, waking up feeling anything but refreshed. Stressed already and day has only just started. Eyes hurt. A little shaky, but not too bad. I feel like I have a cold coming on or something. Got to get to work, waiting for Marko to get back from the bank. Not entirely happy about having to spend his second and last day off this week at work.

22:48  Pain was bad over the weekend in Herefordshire, but I still managed to climb up Hay Bluff and walk some miles. Apparently we were gone for three and a half hours, but I didn't feel it. Didn't even feel it afterwards. The pain was exquisite on the way up, and I had to stop frequently, more because of the pain than because I was short of breath.

Pain has been steady ever since. Noticed no real ill effects from the exercise, but have been sick and shaky the last couple of days. Today my motor co-ordination has been absolutely appalling, my brain function has been impaired. I can't type more than three words without some sort of error. My memory has been playing up, and I have been losing words. At times I have been quite incoherent and talking to the visitors at the stones has been a huge effort.

This evening I have had one long hot spell, I have been getting more and more stressed, my vision is cloudy, my senses are dull and mixed up together, my face feels swollen and I am quite miserable. Coccyx pain has been quite noticeable and today I have had jaw ache and toothache, and have felt very very tired. Too tired to go to the gym. My feet are itchy also.
