Strange Feelings

Last night I felt the strangest thing. Like my right foot was swelling but it wasn't swelling.
I went to sleep but it was bothering me and my calf too.
So I got ice and put it on it. I laid it next to my foot during the night and slept.

Today I ate at 8-8:30. I was hungry in my class around 11:30. I snacked on my mix because I was really hungry. and 2:30 hit and I was gonna die. So the food cart was closing and I had to go to McDonald's to eat. On my way to the car my arm feels like its radiating heat. My right arm. I ate and I feel like I'm not in control of my body. I want to cool off my arm. I felt all clumsy walking to the car and eating too. Even my writing is hard like I can't but I want to write this down.

I wonder, when I"m starting to feel better, whether it really is stress but then when its this bad I know that its not. Something else is doing this.

on some nights i have to take advil and cover my legs more cuz my hips and down ache like the bones are aching.

I ate cearal and a banana this morning and my legs ache like they do, now.

I want more food.
