 My left side is hurting more now. I was beginning to feel some light pains in my side earlier this evening. It has grown more bothersome just now and I am also feeling hot. It was very quiet today in terms of global earthquake activity, but that could change any time now or sometime this week. I also started taking ibuprofen today in preparation for a particular time of the month. I'm due on Thursday and I was feeling anxious about the pain. I am making sure I'm also not confusing some of this pain with endometriosis. I have already felt sensitivity and discomfort in my pelvis and all over. It could be all this combined. My legs have been bothering me as well lately. I am also wondering about possible activity in the Central and Eastern U.S. as there has been some more activity going on over the past 2-3 days.

May 29, 2022

 It has not been active in the world at all today. I have not felt any side pains or sudden increases in energy or physical stress. I felt a little twinge in my side about 20-30 minutes ago. My legs have been starting to bother me today. I also have felt dizziness and feeling heaviness in my feet. I'm starting to pay more attention to my circulation. I noticed that I'm constantly cold. I cannot tolerate any coldness at all. Even 70 degrees Fahrenheit(21 degrees Celsius) is cold to me. It's horrible. I have never been this sensitive to the cold. It seems like more seismic activity from all over provides some relief. It feels like it may be hard waiting until June. However, there have been some signs of more seismic activity closer to where I am.

May 26, 2022

 The world seismic activity levels are very high today. A magnitude 7.2 struck southern Peru several hours ago and not long after that a magnitude 6.4 struck the Loyalty Islands. Yesterday was quiet where I almost cancelled the extended world earthquake watch. Later on, I had a feeling there was a lot to come any time or day now. My side has been tender since late yesterday. This morning, just shortly before the major earthquake in Peru, I felt a dull aching deep in my left side. I also briefly felt a mildly acute throbbing pain in my left side before the mag. 6.4 in the Loyalty Islands. This made me think about how the pain can vary from a sharp pain to a dull, achy type of sensation. I theorize that the dull, aching types of pain might be from a convergent boundary - where the earthquake might be deep in thick continental crust. The more sharp pains could be from shallower, transform and divergent boundaries. The boundary where the mag. 6.4 was was at the tail end of a transform boundary. However, if an earthquake in a convergent boundary were not at a deep focal depth, the pain may not be as dull. I will start taking notes on that with future events. I felt more of an aching pain rather than a sharp pain with activity from Japan. Japan lies largely along a convergent boundary - hence subduction zone earthquakes. I felt sharp pains before the Ridgecrest sequence(which was relatively close to me) which was in a transform tectonic plate zone(also strike-slip events). In California, the pains varied there quite often. The dull, aching sensations were from reverse faults in the area. Before, I theorized it had to do with the length of fault the energy was coming from.

Status Update: 5/23/22

 I think that after a spell of pain and symptoms, I should provide an update whenever something changes from now on. As of right now, I'm no longer experiencing what I did late yesterday and last night. The activity around the world has seemed to discontinue so far. There is not much happening anywhere right now. There has not been any new reported earthquakes in the Central and Eastern U.S. over the last day or two. If things do change again later, I will add an update on what is going on then.

8:32 a.m.

I was not feeling that much initially this morning, but about an hour later, I was feeling a small rush of energy. I'm suddenly feeling tired right now. My side is tender and I am starting to feel lightheaded. 

May 22, 2022

 I felt like making a post here just before I go to bed. I'm in some pain right now. There has been a lot of earthquakes out there - multiple significant ones over the past 24 hours. Japan has certainly been acting up again. I have felt some dizziness and some mild pain and tingling running up my legs. I'm feeling some more pain in my left side. It feels like a stronger ache under my ribs. I have felt somewhat weak over the past 5 or 6 hours. I have also been feeling hot.

May 19, 2022

 I'm feeling some aching in my left side again right now. Earlier, a magnitude 6.9 hit the Macquarie Islands region just less than an hour before I woke up this morning. I have felt somewhat overwhelmed and tired, but my energy levels have been up and down. It is a lot to process plus the other things I have going on throughout my day. It does not feel like it is done out there yet so far.

May 18, 2022

 Yesterday evening, I felt prompted to make a post issuing a new world earthquake watch as I started feeling some sharp pains in my left side as the activity was increasing. Today, it died down somewhat and I was not feeling much until just over the past hour or two. I'm feeling some minor pain in my side. It is a minor throbbing sensation. I have also felt a little pain running up my legs earlier this afternoon. Much of the activity has been taking place in the region of Japan(off the coast of Honshu and in the Ryukyu Islands).

A Summary: 5/17/22

 I made a statement on Twitter about how the world is always active. There are generally very few days where it is overall completely quiet everywhere(with the exception of smaller earthquakes). I also remarked how it may be dangerous for me to stay here that much longer. It is a lot to process at once. I imagine how much different things would be if I were somewhere tectonically active. Back in California, I was focused more on the region(primarily Southern California) during those 8 years. Although I did cover the rest of the world, I was mainly concentrated in that area instead of being all scattered about. I have speculated that the bodily functions that might be the most heavily impacted by these processes are my circulatory system and hormones(all connected to the brain).

Today, I will write about the blood flow. I just thought of a theory where here, my veins are more impacted while back in California, my arteries were affected more. The arteries(red - oxygenated blood) carry blood away from the heart while veins(blue - deoxynegated blood) carry blood towards the heart. Arteries carry blood under high pressure. Veins carry blood under low/negative pressure. Arteries have thick, muscular, elastic walls to pump and accommodate blood. Veins have thin walls and a less muscular than arteries. Arteries have a type of supporting tissue called connective tissue that provides strength. Veins have less connective tissues than arteries. Veins have valves that help prevent backflow of blood.

I had more pressure in California but ventilation. Here in TN it feels like a weakness. While I get secondhand energy from distant larger earthquakes and more susceptible to energy changes elsewhere around the globe, there is a lack of that ventilation or something feels cut off. I spent 8 years in California with only 2 out-of-state trips to here(to visit Grandparents). One visit was for 2 weeks and another was 1 week. It may have only been a little bit longer than 2 weeks when I started having problems with serious leg pain. The foot pain and discomfort started happening right away after walks around the neighborhood. I had that same thing during my last visit. Over this past year, I was noticing the veins in my legs becoming more visible and finding random small bruises. I don't think my life is in immediate danger right now. If anything, this would be a very slow death. I'm not quite sure what is happening, but I have been monitoring that and it was a problem I did not have before I got here. I recently questioned if I really would have been better off in California with the fact that it remains locked up and this could go on for another 10 to possibly 20 years. I remember how I felt there. I didn't know how many more years I could take with it being like that with little to no relief for the pressure and pain. In retrospect, I don't know if I could even make it after 5 more years going by without a decent-sized event. I could have ended up having a heart attack or stroke, I don't know. When I get to Japan, I imagine how much better off I would be. It is a lot different there than California - a different, more complex kind of tectonic system. At the same time, I am afraid I'm already compromised after all these changes. This whole thing must have begun almost 12 years ago when I traveled to a tectonic plate boundary for the first time. If I had this my whole life before ever traveling outside of this part of the U.S., I at least was not aware of it until then. It feels like I was born in the wrong place(of course, I love my family with all my heart and all I had in my life). It at least just feels that way physically. Perhaps it would have been different if I were born somewhere like Japan or Alaska. It would have been fully in my system being in these ever-active tectonic regions instead of all this mess. It will be interesting to find out what all I will be feeling in Japan.

May 12, 2022

 Earlier today, it seemed like everything was finally becoming quiet. I was not feeling much pain at all until just over the past hour. I felt more of a dull pain in my left side. I'm also feeling very warm now and tender everywhere. I have also been more emotionally and physically sensitive since this last round of significant activity started.

May 11, 2022

 I have continued feeling some pain in my left side on and off all day today. Last night, a magnitude 6.8 struck Argentina and there continues to be high levels of activity worldwide. I'm also looking at seismographs around TN and found some disturbances. There has not been any reported events in the state or the New Madrid Fault in nearly a week, but it may not be that quiet. There were a total of 7 earthquakes in South Carolina over the past several days. I have also been feeling a lot of deep vibrations lately. Right now, it feels like something is working its way up my leg.

May 10, 2022

 There have been 2 mag. 6+ in the world so far. They both occurred yesterday. I have continued to feel more pain and soreness in my flank. I was also still feeling somewhat stiff upon waking up this morning. I am almost certain it is not done. A magnitude 5.6 just struck the Vanuatu region and it is still heated out there. There has also been some noticeable seismic activity in the southeast region of the United States over the last day or two. A magnitude 3.3 struck South Carolina at around 12:30 a.m. on Monday. A magnitude 2.9 struck the same area last night. That activity was about 370 miles from where I am, so I'm not sure if that could affect me. It depends if a big event happens there.

May 8, 2022

 I felt some more pain today. More moderate activity is increasing in the world. I felt a more acute pain in my side just moments ago. Earlier, I was feeling tender there and all over. I have also been feeling very warm. I have felt lightheaded a lot today as well. I noticed that I felt a little depressed yesterday and I realized that it was not very active out there and there has not really been anything for a while. Now, I'm feeling more energy today so far. I have especially started feeling more this evening.

May 7, 2022

 I have started feeling some sharp pains in my left side over the past hour. Some more seismic activity has increased in the world so far. I have also been feeling quite warm. I will make more updates depending on what happens.

Update: 5/6/22

 I may not be feeling a lot of pain in my side right now, but the energy levels are there. I could start feeling something any time now as it is likely to become more active within the week ahead. So far, there has been a magnitude 5.9 and 6.0 offshore of Mindanao, Philippines. There have since been increased levels of activity out there. I also felt a lot of pressure inside. It is the second day of menstruating and I was feeling discomfort earlier and heaviness. I felt that before minutes to hours leading up to a major earthquake somewhere in the world. It is usually the first 3 days where I tend to experience that discomfort. I'm almost expecting something to "tug my strings" any time or day now. I imagine having these strings deep inside of me extended and connected to various areas. One of them gets tighter and tighter and eventually sends something that causes a pain in my side. That is how I picture all of this. I have tried exploring if there was a certain area in my body connected to different parts of the world. I am working on understanding the endocrine system and areas of my brain and their function. I recognized that my emotional state can vary depending on where I am. These moods are amplified during menstruation and the week leading up to it. Here in Tennessee in the middle of a plate, I noticed that I'm less angry and aggressive, but more emotionally sensitive and more prone to tears here than in CA. I remember that in Florida as well. In California, I remember struggling with a lot of anger. The energy there made me aggressive and it grew overwhelming during periods of little or no seismic activity in the area. My mood can also depend on my environment. In the middle of a plate, I realize that I feel very tender. I'm more sensitive to distant earthquakes, especially in various areas throughout different directions. It is softer here.

May 6, 2022

 Perhaps the soreness in my side might have to do with some activity around this region. After several small earthquakes east and west of here, I was not feeling anymore soreness or pain in my side. However, there were also no more signs of significant activity going on in parts of the world. I will have to monitor that and see if there is a pattern related to seismic activity on this side of the country. This can also be an update on my health. In regards to my cycle, I have not had a lot of pain over the last 3 months. These last 3 periods have been rather easy on me. I have not had any flare-ups lately. Now, I'm not sure whether this is a good sign or not. If I have a more advanced stage of endometriosis, that does not always mean more pain. In fact, there can be less pain at a later stage and the early stages can be where the pain is the worst. Otherwise, I don't seem to be struggling that much with pain related to menstruation so far. I also am not certain what exactly is going on now in regards to my blood flow. The other day, I felt some intense pain in my foot standing in a ditch. Certain positions can trigger foot and leg pain. I'm not really sure at this point whether being in the middle of a tectonic plate is worse for my health or not. I am not jumping to conclusions that it is, but I never had these issues before when I lived in California.
