Nae's Heart

Okay, so I know I have already written a post this week, but I have had a few crazy days. ¬†On Monday, I noticed my toes were swollen. ¬†I really didn’t think anything about it until Wednesday morning. ¬†On Wednesday morning I almost passed out in the shower due to the pain of the spray hitting the toe right next to the big one on my right foot. ¬†I had pain, heat, and swelling. ¬†All three signs of an infection. ¬†All of my toes were still swollen, but only the one was infected. ¬†So I went to the doctor and he gave me antibiotics and a steroid. ¬†He said I had raynoud’s phenomenon. ¬†It is a constriction of the blood vessels, veins, and capillaries. ¬†Because of the cold weather and we think the allergy medicine, Claritan D, my blood was not pumping properly in my hands and feet and this caused my infection. ¬†The solution, stay as warm as possible, especially my hands and feet. ¬†So I have been wearing two pairs of socks every time I leave my house and gloves, not to mention dressing a little warmer. ¬†My toes are still a little swollen even as I write this. ¬†I am going to see my allergy doctor today and he will confirm the problems with the Claritan D. ¬†Another contributer to the problem could be my¬†caffeine¬†intake. ¬†So I have been drinking¬†decaf¬†coffee. ¬†I may have to change a few things in my life, but the one thing that will¬†definitely¬†stay the same is James. ¬†He has been a great support and encouragement through this time. ¬†We know that the Lord is in control and He knows what he is doing in my life. ¬†Please pray that things will get everything under control quickly. ¬†
