can't sleep - numbness - frustrated
 

ok, this tongue & face numbness is really driving me crazy along with the buzzing down my neck. I have had the numbness in my face but it didn't bother me sleeping but tonight seems to be a different story! I tried putting a luke warm wash cloth on my face thinking it might change the nerve endings but it didn't help.

The spasticity is in my lower back and my legs pretty bad tonight. Wow, I haven't had it like this is a REALLY long time. I wish I could of got in touch with the neuro today.... will certainly do it in the morning but I am sure they are just going to record it and tell me there is nothing that can be done.

ok, enough venting for one night. Thanks for listening......

Want I should sing ya a lullabye?

Rock-a-bye Yabbit, in the tree top....

Now stare at the inside of your eyelids and have sweet dreams. Zzzzzz

:hug: So sorry for you. It's so hard to want to just drift off to sleep and not be able to. Why does it seem some of these sx just intensify at bed time? :Sigh:
I hope things will settle down for you. Would a hot cup of decaffeinated tea help to relax you.... I don't know :hug::.... my mama always fixed me hot tea when I was little.... wish I had a better suggestion. Hope you get some sleep soon. :Zzzz:

Shhhhhhh!!!!
 

I think she's asleep now! ;)

after I wrote that post I went in and took another warm shower and went back to bed - I read for about 20 minutes and then finally went to sleep.

Face is still the same and legs are really bothering me this morning - spasticity is not in my favor that is for sure.

DBF was so worried - he knew I wasn't feeling up to par this morning he has called to check on me and he only left at 5:45! He is a good man! ;)

I know that feeling too! I have been so rudely awakened the past several mornings with pins and needles running down my arms... and spine. it is so annoying.

I was formally dx with spaticity yesterday and yeah, in "celebration" of my dx my muscles all came out one by one last night to greet me with the "spastic marching band" progressing down my spine and legs!

Meaning i was in some SERIOUS pain and i guess my body tends to dull the pain for me but last night the dulling kindness decided to join the parade and march away! but the stiletto heals of the marching band left thier mark on my spine after the marching (spasms) ceased!

i hate the ___________ disease (i put a blank b/c i don't know what to call it as i have not been formally dx with MS but geepers i sure can relate to ya'll!

So sorry you are feeling unwell yeahbut.:( Do you have work or school
today???? It sounds like a good day to stay on the couch in your
jammies.

Contact the neuro, maybe he can offer you some zanaflex or something
else for the spasticity.

Feel better soon:hug:,

Sox

:hug: thinking of you, yb!
i'm sure the bronchitis, and school load and all are causing increase in symptoms... :mad:

best wishes for your day! :wink:

:hug: Glad you got some rest last night. Totally understand how hard it is to do so when you're in pain.

Hope the doc can help you out. :hug:

Oh, my little lambchop, I hate it too! At least you finally got some rest. I hope you will call your neuro and even just leave a message. Methinks it's time for an upgrade on the spaz meds. Here's to a better day for you.:hug:

Ya know my SS you have done alot and been through alot latley....
traveling, sickness, personal issues.......

I think your body is saying Hey...did ya forget about me???

Read the quote of AMN's...........it is gospel.........you may have some rough times to go through as a recoop ....it sucks but its for sure the way it is dear friend.......

I wish I had given you some zanaflex while you were here dagnab it....

I like many others here have graduated from one to another over a peroid of time and the difference the newer med makes is amazing........

Keep dialing that neuro...
and feel better my sweet friend.

He sounds like a very good man! Lucky you!!!!

My face has been the same way. Today it seems so much worse. I am chalking it up to the weather. Whenever there is a warmup with the temp my sx pop up. I started to feel crappy last week when the temp went to 50. April always seems to be the month I feel the worst. It is just coming a little early for me this year I guess.

I have the balloon head feeling and my speech is also affected. I feel like I have had one-too many glasses of wine (wish that was the case). My right arm and leg are numb and I am sooooo tired. Sorry to be going on and on. I don't have much to complain about, it could be a whole lot worse!!!

I am thinking of you yeahbut! Hopefully you can take it a little slower today. And keep that DBF close. He sounds like a keeper!:wink:

Hi YB
Sorry you're feeling so crummy. Have you gotten hold of the doc yet? I deal with alot of numbness, and the face and mouth are especially annoying. Rest up and feel better.

:hug:

oh my leetle Yabbit :hug:

Did you get hold of the doc? What's the verdict?

The zanaflex at night works wonders for me! Maybe time to upgrade, methinks. With the zanaflex on top of the Baclofen, I actually sleep now. No more running a marathon when I lay down, no more waking up more tired than when I went to bed...

Let us know how it goes!

:hug:Hi Char~ Sorry you are still feeling so yucky! Hope you were able to get ahold of the Dr and will be able to take something for your sx's and get some much needed SLEEP!...

take care girlie.... :hug:
