This morning, I was feeling some pinching sensations in my left side. Some more micro earthquakes began popping up around Southern California as well as some more aftershocks with the Little Lake sequence to the North. I felt a little more pain in my left side about an hour later, but it did not continue.
I'm keeping a close eye on everything. I'm also aware there might be more large earthquake activity going on worldwide somewhere anytime now. There may be more going on locally anytime or day now. I've been overheated during this heat wave. My legs feel heavy and hot as I walk up stairs and I'm in good physical condition.
I have also felt a few spells of dizziness over the last day.

July 23, 2019

Over the past 2 or 3 days, I have been feeling tender throughout parts of my body. I was not only feeling it in my left side, but parts of my back, shoulders, and neck. A magnitude 4.2 occurred 10 miles South of Twentynine Palms at 9:26 Monday morning(yesterday). I'm not feeling as sore right now. I'm still feeling like there is more to come. At the same time, I've been adjusting to these changes I've been experiencing since that magnitude 7.1 in the Little Lake area which was kind of far away.

It occurred to me that those sore spots may have been trapped energy. Yesterday morning's 4.2 may have temporarily relieved some of that trapped energy - Sort of pushed it through. There is still more welling up once again. I felt a sudden bout of dizziness yesterday that last for a couple of minutes..

July 19, 2019

I not only feel tenderness in my side and some pain there, but I felt a sudden pain in my foot just minutes ago. I had that yesterday as well as up my knee. I am not sure whether or not it's the effect of the Little Lake sequence with all these aftershocks or something else is going on. The aftershocks could start increasing in size again. There also could be more taking place in the region South of there.
Just now, the pains I had in my left side were somewhat unfamiliar. It felt like a cutting inside, but the pain was minor and short-lived. It may be a number of things taking place at once. Other than that, I'm very tender and am feeling some pain, including some minor sharp pains.

I still have not quite gotten down to the bottom of what has been taking place in regards to certain symptoms preceding earthquakes. One thing I left out from the previous post addressing this was addressing the pinching type of pain or sensation I feel in my left side. I noticed that I get that when an earthquake, a small earthquake occurs somewhere away from a fault. Earlier this morning, I felt some pulsating, pinching sensations in my left side(it would be a slight throbbing type of pain). Later, a magnitude 3.7 and 3.6 occurred near Borrego Springs and Anza. Both quakes were not from any fault.
I made somewhat of a stupid mistake by using emojis on Twitter to denote the type of pain I would feel and what time it was. I pinned a reference. If I felt a stabbing pain in my side, I couldn't just put the time with a knife emoji. People may get the wrong idea and may find that alarming. So, I swiftly abandoned it. Anyway, it is still complicated and harder to determine when it comes to large quakes elsewhere around the world. I can identify that feeling, yet it is somewhat hard to explain. It is strong, yet faint.
I'm just now beginning to figure out the timing of the symptoms before the earthquake. I was experiencing some side pains and joint pain(the knee in particular) about a day or two before the foreshock and mainshock 100 miles North from here. However, a certain time of the month interfered with it where I paid less attention. I'm suspecting that if the impending tremor is 100 or more miles away from me, the symptoms occur a day or two beforehand. When it is within 20-30 miles, I would feel pain an hour or less beforehand. However, I'm not so sure.
When it comes to large global activity, I pick up on it 1-2 weeks beforehand - if it's more than a thousand miles away.
I am still uncertain how exactly that works. I will continue to document everything as I go along.

July 17, 2019

I'm starting to feel more going on again. My left side is beginning to bother me. I'm very tender and I have started having some bouts of dizziness. I'm seeing red flashes as well. That is another thing I have noticed whenever there would be a rise in energy. My vision would go kind of ruddy. I have felt a few sharp pains and pressure in my side since the last time I posted. Much of it largely had to do with the ongoing sequence in the Ridgecrest area. There have been more magnitude 3s and 4s and more energy has been pumped into me.
The swarm in the Fontana area has started acting up again late this afternoon. Before that, it was extremely quiet here in Southern California South of the sequence. There is likely much more to be going on within the next week or anytime now.

Analyzing pt. 2

I have been trying to figure out why the pains range from acute to dull. I first thought it had to do with my distance from the earthquake as well as the magnitude and depth. I figured it mostly has to do with the length of the fault and perhaps the level of strain energy. When it involves a large fault, the pain tends to be dull and deep. Along a smaller fault, the pain is more acute and brief. The one I experienced during my first trip to California in 2009 was 80 or more miles(considering that I was in Hesperia at the time I started to experience the pain). It was a deep, dull pain, but it wasn't particularly agonizing. The magnitude 4.6 quake occurred along the Garlock Fault which is 155 miles long.
I felt a dull, deep pain before a 3-pointer along the San Jacinto Fault in 2017, but it was more painful. It was much closer than the 2009 event. I was first confused because I felt a sharp pain before an earthquake of that very magnitude in that same area in 2013. Then I realized that they each occurred along different faults. The more recent one happened on a 130-mile fault zone. The one that happened in 2013 occurred along a fault that was 12.4 miles long. The mag. 4.6 in which I felt sharp pains beforehand happened on a fault that was 7.4 miles in length. I recall the magnitude 5.2 La Habra earthquake in which I was living up in Crestline at the time of the event that night.
Earlier that day, I was down in Rancho Cucamonga working. I recall feeling some acute pains in my left side and at one point, a shooting pain running up into the side of my hip. Those pains were short lived. I still felt some of those pains after I got home, but they were mild. That quake occurred square between the Elsinore Fault and a set of very small unnamed faults. The earthquake was not located on a fault. It may have been a little closer to those small unnamed faults. I am thrilled to have finally figured this out. However, it is still very complicated. These pains can also be a result of numerous recent quakes that have happened in which I have surplus energy trapped in my body.
It can range from numerous quakes within a hundred-mile radius or multiple large earthquakes from all over the world. Now, I'm working to figure out how to separate sensations I get from big quakes from thousands of miles away and smaller ones closer to home. Another thing to note is that there isn't always an earthquake every time I feel pain in my side. It seems that energy would well up and be on the verge of releasing, but then it would decline again. I have experienced some severe side pains before. It made me wonder if a large earthquake may have almost happen at a certain point on several occasions. The ones that happened near Ridgecrest were a little too far away for me to feel that acutely. I did experience pain the day before the first event and after that leading up to the mainshock.
I still have yet to find out how much different it would be if it were right next to me. The fact is that I don't know yet. It makes me nervous. However, I just have to be present and continue to do more research.

Analyzing pt. 1

In this post, I'm taking more time into analyzing the peculiar symptoms I experience that happen to coincide with earthquake activity. I have mentioned in a previous post how the pain I feel in my left side varies. I went through the earthquake archives to search for some of the earthquakes I remember. I wrote down the date and time, the location of the earthquake's epicenter and my own location(and the distance), focal depth, and fault it was located on(and what type of fault it was). I also described the kind of pain I felt and the time interval between that and the seismic event.

I'm still feeling a lot of shaking going on. I have little jabs of pain into my left side, but no constant, agonizing pain. Perhaps I should make a chart describing the types of those pains. They vary significantly. This time, it feels like a little jabbing or pinching where it kind of feels more towards the surface in my skin. I'm not sure what these different kinds of pains indicate. It can be a sharp pain, a dull throbbing pain, or a deep ice pick pain. Overall, there is a constant pressure in my left side that has not gone away.
I decided to really start documenting this. I will insert an emoji on Twitter indicating the type of side pain I feel. Whenever I feel that pain, there isn't always an earthquake, but whenever there is an earthquake, I feel pain or pressure in that tender spot beforehand depending on the size, distance, and location. There are also these other random aches and pains that hit different joints and limbs throughout the day.

July 9th, 2019

I'm still feeling like there is a lot going on here in Southern California. My left side is bothering me some more today. I have noticed that the earthquakes have lowered my pain threshold. I have been feeling tender and raw over the past 5 days. I dropped something on my toe yesterday evening and cried out loudly and punched the wall outside! The bottom of my feet also feel heavy. I'm experiencing a myriad of symptoms and odd sensations taking place inside me - just these random aches and pains.
This will likely go on for quite a while. There might be more earthquake activity coming up any time now or within the coming days.

July 8, 2019

So far right now, I'm feeling more of this pressure in my left side. It is a pressure rather than a pain right now. I am waiting to see if it worsens. It has been persisting over the past 20 minutes. The time is now 1:25 PM. There have not been any aftershocks of magnitude 5 and above since the ones immediately following the mainshock on Friday night. I figured there should be more of those happening by now or at least this week - either tomorrow or by Thursday. I would be surprised if it stays below magnitude 5 much longer.
There also might be more activity happening around here this week(Southern California). There is an extremely high potential for magnitude 4+ in the Greater Los Angeles area or perhaps anywhere else South of the Tehachapi Mountains..

Okay, it is now 1:31 and now the pain in my left side is starting to become a little worse.

July 7, 2019

Although the aftershocks started dying down yesterday in terms of magnitude, I still feel like there is a lot more going on. I just felt a sharp pain in my left side at about 9:35 this morning. I've been feeling some pain on and off all morning. I feel that there may also be more taking place South of the Little Lake sequence. A magnitude 4 or greater in the L.A. area or anywhere else in Southern California South of the Tehachapi Mountains within the next week or two or any time now is highly likely.
I'm still feeling a lot of dizzy spells as well as a few spasms in parts of my limbs. At this point, it feels like all this is far from over and might in fact be the beginning of a very active period for us.

July 6, 2019

I don't know where to even begin. Last night, an even bigger earthquake apparently occurred in the Ridgecrest area. It was an incredible experience. For it to be 100 miles away and to feel it that strongly, I can only imagine the intensity near the epicenter. I felt extremely dizzy last night and was sore and aching all over. It ran up from the bottom of my feet to the top of my head. My jaws hurt at one point and my eye was throbbing at another. There is this pressure in my left side that is persistent. It isn't terribly painful, but it does become a little bothersome at times. I'm not in horrible pain right now, but I noticed that I am very tender where my pain threshold is a little lower than usual.
It is as though I have been wrung raw. I virtually have. I'm still feeling a lot of restless energy inside me. I know that this is going to be going on for a while. There is likely a lot more to come - including more significant quakes. I even have a feeling it is affecting our area - the Southland. All that energy from up there could pump Southern California with more strain energy.

Update at 4:43 - 7/4/19

Now, I am really feeling some more pain in my left side. It's a stronger pressure, but not too painful. I feel even dizzier right now and I'm feeling tingly all over. There could be even more going on, but it's uncertain. One can never be certain about these types of events. There could be more significant aftershocks imminent at any minute. It is possible there could be another large quake. It is super heated right now.

Update: July 4, 2019

Another thing I meant to mention was how during the day prior to this earthquake, I also noticed that I have been breaking out in cold sweats. There was a magnitude 4.5 aftershock minutes ago and minutes before it happened, I was feeling a constant vibration and broke out in a cold sweat. I feel like I have a fever right now. I'm tingling all over and I'm extremely energetic and restless. I of course have been experiencing the usual dizziness and pressure in my left flank. Another peculiar thing I experienced after the mainshock and this 4.5 aftershock was coughing. It is as though this energy is wringing me of toxins and making me feel all raw.
I feel that there is still more to come.

July 4, 2019

This morning, I was in my home here in Lake Arrowhead and felt a smooth, rolling motion that hit me like an electrical shock. I immediately knew that it was a big one and it might have happened miles North of here. Lo and behold a magnitude 6.4 had occurred in the Ridgecrest area. Last night or late yesterday afternoon, I was feeling some acute pain in my left side. I thought it was because of that magnitude 6.2 off the coast of B.C., Canada. I have gotten large EQs elsewhere confused with local small quakes in Southern California, so it is quite a challenge. Something else that I should have taken note of was having this unrelenting pain in my left knee. I had those before, but it wouldn't go away and I was hobbling about on and off over the past day. I know I'm about to get T.M.I., but another problem is that my menstrual cycle can interfere with all this.
I have Endometriosis and my hormones can become off the rails around the week of my flow. This morning, I was feeling more menstrual cramps and heavy bleeding than side pain. I usually feel the menstrual pain on the first day or early neck of the second day of the flow. I apologize I have to include this part of my inner workings, but the seismic activity and energy affects just about every function of my body. I'm still feeling more knee pain and even elsewhere in my legs. My left side is very tender. I am recognizing that the knee pain I felt 40 hours before this significant tremor was pent up energy ready to release somewhere not too far away. That energy runs up into my body and gets trapped in certain areas. It hits nerves which causes pain. My left side tends to feel the most pain because it is in the mid section of my body. It is a pocket that runs underneath my ribs and towards my back.
That area serves as a pocket for pent up and released seismic energy. In this instance, it hit at a certain time of the month and I was feeling more menstrual cramps than side pain. As the energy runs up my body, it would cause stronger contractions in the pelvic region. I still was feeling some strong side pains on an off over the past day that radiated to my back. Yesterday, I put it out there that there was an extremely high chance of magnitude 3-4 or greater quakes in Southern California at any time. I was too distracted by other things to actually focus more on this to suspect something more significant was going on nearby. For the most part, I dismissed it as period symptoms. However, I regret not writing in this yesterday and mentioning the joint pains. I was feeling all kinds of things going on inside of me over the past week. Again, I dismissed it as premenstrual and Endo-related.
I have noticed that I also find myself in a brain fog around that particular time of the month. I feel overwhelmed and have difficulty concentrating. My left side is again sore and feels like a bruise whenever I poke it. I have been having a feeling over the past 2-3 months that Southern California may be finally entering a more active period in terms of earthquakes. This morning's event was a wake-up call for me to start dedicating even more of my time to this. It can be complicated and I would assume "Well, that could be anything." I have to go in deeper.
