Hi Teachermom,
Just a suggestion that may calm your nerves a bit would be to see an ENT doctor...they can take a close look see with a scope in other to rule out anything else that may be happening. I just had such a procedure a few weeks ago because a recent MRI showed a possible cyst in my throat....I felt better after seeing the ENT doc.
Hope this helps.......
Wishing you a great run,
Cliffman

The weakness in my hips is very similar to what I experienced back when jo-1 was present.
I appreciate the calming words. I kept reminding myself that nortriptyline had the same effect on me last time. I had panic attacks when coming off of it. Last night was much better. Hopefully I didn't take it long enough this time to have long lasting effects.
I hope everyone has a happy Sunday. I plan to actually go out and try to run a little, not far, just enough to get my mind right.
