Symptoms: cramps, irregular appetite, Raynaud’s attacks

We had a record snowfall here in Dallas on Thursday, February 11. As a result the electricity in our home has been out since then. At one point, as many as 206,000 people were without power in North Texas. I suspect we’ll be among the last to have our power turned back on. In the meantime, I’ve been staying at my parents’ house while Joey has chosen to stay home.

I had some menstrual-like cramps last night, which alarmed me. Other than that, I still haven’t had any truly uncomfortable symptoms. My appetite is strange, though: I often feel like I have no appetite, but then I’ll feel like I absolutely HAVE to eat something or I’ll die! No off-the-wall cravings, yet.
