slow miles in the frozen ice tundra.  Actually, black ice so cautiously ran in the Altras wondering if they had enough traction and not willing to risk it by running quicker.  Plus it was cold and snow blowing in the wind.  Not nice.  but you know I am still feeling pretty lousy.  had a  doozy of an atypical migraine---intense migraine down my right arm, right rib cage and down my leg ending at the bottom of my foot (starting at the top of my head).  BURNING pain.  My rib cage and upper forearm by my elbow feels like somebody kicked them  really hard.  But not a  bruise  is seen.  NERVES.  burning.  painful.  not sure why this happens but seems to be cyclical and following a neuropathway.  Bummer. My feel HURT all the time too.  Geez.  It makes me feel old and I wonder if I will ever feel well again.    9:15 AP for 6.  I feel like I am going backwards in time.  Four years ago I had attacks like these every day for a year.  I so don't want to follow that strict diet again to avoid all the allergens.  My dr. wants me to get an allergy test done that will test me for over 300 allergens (chemicals, foods/colorings/ viruses etc).  She thinks that is what is causing my joint pain attacks and headaches.  Probably.  Just don't want to pay out 352 dollars.  But I do have a health savings account.  I just want to be normal.
