Default Scared to sleep

Recently I have been waking up in the middle of the night, and early in the morning with extreme weakness in my throat, and weakness in my diaphram. It used to happen when I was first diagnosed, but I am much stronger all around, and haven't had this kind of touble lately. A few weeks ago, I started having a little sleep apnea, it was happening right after falling asleep once or twice at a time, only a few times. I would fall asleep, barely be unconscious and wake up tingling and gasping for air. Last night, I woke up to use the restroom, and my left arm was dead asleep and numb...but the left side of my face was a little tingly and numb too...then when I tried to walk, my left leg wouldn't take two steps. I sat down on the end of the bed for a minute, tried again, and was able to hobble to the bathroom...Once I was able to walk, it felt like there was a huge lump in the back muscle of the left leg...but the whole leg felt strange. I thought maybe I'd had a stroke or something at first. Of course I think it was the way I was sleeping (I don't remember being in any weird positions, to cause this left side numbness)...Anyway, what's your guys' take on this stuff? Anybody else experience anything like this? I'm afraid to sleep tonight cuz who knows what it will be like
I hope this finds you strong and well,
Thank you,
Jessica
