Last night, I got 8 hours sleep, thank goodness. But, I was in bed for 11 hours to achieve that because I wake up constantly throughout the night. I thrash about, grind my teeth, tense all my muscles, tweak my neck etc. But, I am thrilled with 8 hours, so I’m not complaining.

This morning things are much the same as every morning: swollen eyes, sore hands, stiff, immobile muscles. I am still having an acne breakout and constipation, which is getting frustrating.

And, just my luck: one of the stool sample vials was compromised (looked like the formaldehyde had leaked in transit), so I have to do the whole thing all over again. They’re sending me a new kit. Aahh!

Today I have two things on my calendar: going to visit my sister’s puppy and coffee with a friend. Normally, I wouldn’t be able to move tomorrow, so this will be a test to see if the LDN is doing anything for my stamina or muscle strength at all. Unfortunately, I highly doubt it. I feel no different. I seem to be the only story on the internet about LDN that does not proclaim it to be a miracle cure. Typical with my body. I want my miracle cure, dammit!
