weirdness

[bubblegum]

I have been having this thing go on for the last little bit, maybe two months. Been thinking it would go away on its own, and it freaks me out so I have just been trying to pretend it doesn't exist. But anyways, basically I will be walking and my legs with just give out, and loose all strength in them, and I will fall. Its happened just randomly, once in the grocery store (that was majorly embarrassing), once when I was running and I wasn't sure I was going to be able to get home, once when I was carrying tessa.... Anyways happened today and I ended up falling down the stairs, didn't feel so good. So A is forcing me to the doctor now, made an appointment for friday. Just kind of freaking out about what it could be though. Has kind of been a big source of anxiety lately. Wishing ignoring things really did make them go away.

It's good you are going to go to the doctor, and I am glad Anth is looking out for you. Look, you have to take care of Tessa, so you have to get it sorted, and now you are. Fingers crossed that it is a little thing! And don't spend any energy worrying over it; that doesn't do anything except waste your time! Keep us posted, ok?

Don't we all! I'm glad you're going...let us know how you make out.

Good luck @ the doctor, let us know what he says! Be careful w/Tess in the meantime!

Glad to hear you are going to the doctor (((BBG))). That sounds like a very wise plan! I had dreams about my legs giving out, just like you describe, for a couple of years after my divorce. It was very scary to keep having those recurring dreams, and I was glad when they subsided. If it had happened in real life I would have made an appt with the MD ASAP. Please let us know how your visit goes

Good luck with your Dr. Appointment. Do you have any back or hip pain? I wonder if it could be a pinched nerve?

[Velvet]

No sense in worrying about it...you have a doctors appointment. Meanwhile just be careful.

I have something like that too. But I get some warning first. Its almost like they go numb and travels up my back and all the way down my legs. Its got somethng to do with my back being out of whack, disks messed up and nerves being pinched. I would seek a doctor but also a good chiropractor. Good luck friday and I find that when I bend over and let my arms hang towards my feet for a few seconds the feeling returns or just sit down for a second or two. It usually helps.

BBG~ How did things go at the doctor? I hope you got some answers and you're feeling better!


Coffee...

[bubblegum]

Thanks for asking coffee. Didn't get any answers, just wanted to do a whole bunch more tests. So working on getting all those taken care of and hopefully I will get an answer soon.

[kathy]

If I may ask, what kind of tests are they having you do?

[cody]

Have you had any more episodes BBG? I'm betting it's a pinched nerve thingy, but definitely worth checking into

[bubblegum]

As of right now its more bloodwork, an MRI and EMG. Have the last one tomorrow and then hopefully they will have figured something out. Also a referral back to a cardiologist because I was diagnosed when I was younger with a murmur to see if that could have anything to do with it.
This isn't the only symptom there are some others, hands and feet will be numb and cold and kinda a bluish tint, still get dizzy spells where I feel sick.
Have really been trying to eat better and have had a few B12 shots now and I think it might be helping a little with some things.
The legs giving out has happened one or two times in the last week.

[cody]

Glad to hear you think eating better and the B12 shots might be helping a bit. Good deal on having the last test tomorrow; I imagine it will feel good to get some insight as to what the heck is going on.

Keep us posted and take care (((BBG)))
