I hate writing in this journal because it makes me sound like a whiner, but this is one place I can put my thoughts and emotions down without reprisals. Starting around Memorial Day, I began to become lightheaded. I checked my blood pressure regularly and it was maintained. The dizziness has progressively become worse to the point I have fallen several times and have twisted my left knee and both ankles. Dr. Wagner plans to send me to a neurologist to rule anything that might be connected to the head injury I received during Desert Shield/Storm. I had trouble explaining the swirly black sensation in my head. I am always so tired and now sleep up to 12 hours a day. I feel weak and fatigued all the time. I get sporadic fits of coughing and hiccups. Now, I am not allowd to go out to the garden or outside on my own. I am so depressed.
