The other night I was in bed and I was watching tv with my son. I had pins and needles/tingling sensation in my left outer thigh area. Next thing I know its traveling upward and inward up to my belly button area. This immediately followed by the entire area going numb. I am used to my hands going numb on a daily basis. Im used to the pin prick burning/stabbing sensation I get in my feet. But I have never had such a large area affected at once. It was the feeling , like when you go outside into the snow and your hands get really cold , they go numb and when you come back into the warm house, they burn and ache.
I also than had the left side of my face go numb. My eyelid on left side drooped. The droopy eyelid is very common for me though. So I went shopping yesterday. Im in the store and that overwhelming sensory overload thing happens. All of a sudden I feel Like Im high and everything in the store seems to be moving , I cant tell if Im standing still or moving. So I grab onto the shelf.My mom looks at me in a very familiar way, sadly. Shes like.. lets go. I will carry the bags for you. I had to close my eyes the entire drive home. Dont worry I wasnt driving.. I cant drive anymore.Anything that made my eyes move made me nauseated.
I am definately in a flare. Has anyone had an attack like this though? Where the numbness / pins and needles attacks a large section of your body . Im so off balance its ridiculous. Im constantly grabbing walls and stuff to hold onto. Im pretty sure its centered around my eyes. Im also wondering if this everything moving or is it me moving thing.. is that vertigo? WOW this is long sorry lol... I am just venting!
