06/07/18 Overdid things a bit on the exercise front & ended up with central back pain that eased into hot & cold sensations running up & down my spine! But, no paralysed breathing, thank goodness! So, didn’t need to take Pregabalin tablets for neuropathy which has some pretty nasty side effects & is addictive: hard to stop taking them the one time I had to when my breathing was paralysed! I was supposed to take for a maximum of 10 days & it 24 days because of withdrawal when I tried to stop! It seems that doing 3 days in a row of trampolining is too tiring for me at the moment! Will take a break!

03:22 BS 8.1. 5 units Novorapid Breakfast:- smoked salmon, brussels pate on 2 slices toast & 2 cups twinings everyday with 80ml longlife almond milk. 05:00 BS 9.5.

16:30mins on the trampoline. My back started hurting me at the 14:30mins mark but, I carried on anyway! It took me 4mins to recover! Then took a bath which eased the back pain!

07:26 BS 9.3. After exercise.

10:04 BS 8.2. Snack:- Fibre one cinnamon square. Back pain came back & I realised I could be in trouble when my spine started to feel hot! I’d overdone it & tired myself too much! The pain went but, the hot & cold sensations ebbed & flowed up & down my spine! I was vigilant for any signs of paralysed breathing! But, thankfully, that didn’t happen!

11:08 BS 6.8. 4 units Novorapid 29 units Levemir & all other meds Lunch:- 2 baked sausages, 3 poached eggs, 100g baked beans, 0.5 tin of pears & 0.5 the drained juice! 13:02 BS 7.0.

15:56 BS 6.7. 4 units Novorapid Dinner:- 1 bag steam veg rice birds eye, 1tsp oyster sauce, 1tsp toasted sesame oil, brussels pate on 2 slices bread, watered down peach juice & 1 miss molly’s choc ice. 18:17 BS 6.2.

Going to bed now! The nerves in my spine has calmed down to a dull warmth now! Have to take it easy & recover my energy tomorrow & the next few days. This is a warning & reminder to me NOT to exhaust myself!

Goodnight everybody!
