The day before yesterday I didn't want to get up because I wasn't feeling great, when I finally did get up I walked to the shower, turned it on and then realized my foot didn't want to move. The only way I could get it to move was by pulling up on my pelvis. I could tell it was asleep, but not like regularly. In the past, my foot would fall asleep, move the joint, blood comes back and there is that horrible feeling for a little while, and then all is done. This time I didn't have that blood coming back feeling. But I couldn't let my husband touch it either, I could tell that would hurt it. He was able to get something under my foot just enough to help me move it, I kind of hopped to the toilet and sat down and eventually it came back. This all happened in about 2-3 minutes, but it kind of freaked me out.

There has been one other time my leg fell asleep since my neuropathy has started. Same leg, and when that happened I was lying on my bed, it hurt a lot while coming back to life.

What in the world could be going on? My neuropathy is small fiber, I am not diabetic, this was caused by either a burn or epidural. I thankfully don't drive a ton, but what happens if I was either driving or out in public and something like that happened?

I'm currently taking 600mg of oxcarbazapine, after having taken Gabapentin for the last 6 months and it not working effectively. I thought this was working, I've had to ramp up the meds by 150mg a week. I've been sick with a cold, so I'm not sure if my yucky feelings are the endings of the cold or my meds. My stomach has been hurting a lot. Doc has me starting zoloft thinking it will help. I took it for a couple weeks, my stomach actually did feel a little better, stopped it to make sure that was helping, and just restarted it again the other day, so I'll know in a week or two if it actually is what's helping.

I really need a signature, it'll help me keep track of my stupid meds!
