While waiting in the ER to be seen? PAIN AND NUMBNESS went from ankles to knees, and from hands to wrists halfway up the elbows. It got worse from there after I was released....w/o any guidance at all. And, very vague follow-up. After admittance to the hospital it got so bad?... I needed both hands to eat while in the hospital...one to hold the hand w/the spoon holding the other hand to get it 'near' the mouth? Needless to say, rice wasn't fun? Soups? Forget it! I acquired a liking for Jello of 'hospital colors' then because I COULD get it into me! At home, basic ventures, such as going to bed, bathroom and even bathing were exhausting at best? BUT That I worked very hard thru PT and plain stubbornness to get over... Be it a spinal or neuro thing that you have? It IS NOT GOING TO BE EASY! For your sake really? I hope it's spinal - why? Because they CAN FIX some things in this quarter! With plain old neuro issues, it can and does get squirrelley. But being a squirrell? Doesn't mean things can't be helped in many ways! Keep that gumption and faith in yourself and who knows? What mite happen? Good things I'm hoping!!!!!!!!!!!! -j
