For the past week, Ive been in a drunken like state and the hug is coming and going like an unwelcomed guest. Im so dizzy, I cant focus on anything. My husband was standing up talking to me and I told him to please stop moving its hurting my head and he said he wasnt moving at all. OMG! Im so dizzy, I almost puked today. I am falling again and need my dh to help me with my walker. I feel so out of control! The hug is paying its little visit again. Pain all around my front and back, its going from my chest all the way down to bottom of my ribs and has even settled in between my shoulder blades. My spasms are getting out of control. No amount of meds is helping them settle down. Ive got pain from my hips down to my feet. Cant lay down, cant sit for long, walking helps alittle but Im so dizzy and weak walking is a chore right now. Im also choking on everything I put into my mouth. I use to choke only on liquids so I use a straw. Now, Im choking on food too. I cut my food really small, cuz the big pieces are hard to get down. If I cut my food any smaller, I might as well puree it! Boy, I thought I was falling apart before, now Im SURE of it! DH and I are both afraid Im working my way to another ER visit if this doesnt let up soon.

So sorry you are going through a tough time. I really have no words of wisdom or advice--if an ER visit would bring you relief, however, by all means GO!

you need to be seen to find a way to calm this monster. Whether its steroids, or muscle relaxers or PT I hope you call your MD and get in to see him/her. Life is no fun in the spin cycle.

Feel better

Call your Doc, Kittylady.....soon!!!

Feel better..

KL,

So sorry that you are going thru this. the others are right- no need to suffer- get help.

my advice would be to see your dr ASAP. you could also be flaring and need some medication intervention. plus, you want to stay safe and not be falling.

please, please call your dr.

I am so sorry to hear this... man I was just poking my head in here to say I was feeling a little better and that I am moving but now this is making me so sad for you. I really hope you get some relieve really soon because there is nothing like it. puree your food if you have to. I could not eat mines unless I drank with it. if you have to drink your food out of a straw do it. anything that will keep you to have energy and if you can meditate because some times that would make me feel so much better it would be as if all the pain would go away for a while.

I am so sorry to read what you are going through. The only suggestion I can offer is Requip for spasms. It always calms them down for me. I hope you get the help that you need.

wondering how you are doing???? worried about you Kitty

kitty,
