gdomaracki Posted February 10, 2006 Report Share Posted February 10, 2006 This morning I awoke to a sharp pain in my stomach, didn't really think much of it. About five minutes later, everything got really blurry and I got extremely dizzy/lightheaded. I laided down, waiting for this nightmare to end. This hot, burning feeling came over me. I tried to keep my eyes open, oh I was sooo scared and I was too out of it I guess to yell for help. I tried, but I just couldn't. Like I didn't have the strength. And then my legs went numb/tingling. I couldn't move. I am able to move my legs now, but it hurts so very bad. And if I try to walk~ they give out on me?!? I tried called my electro to inform her on my situation, but of course its four hours later and I probably won't hear from her. What should I do? Will this happen again? Is it all POTS? How can I bring back feeling in my legs and dull the aching? Sorry, I just need to vent. Im just so scared! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacquie802 Posted February 11, 2006 Report Share Posted February 11, 2006 Hi,I get most of those symptoms, but never paralysis in my legs...I do feel like my legs are going to give out after I get a surge. My legs and feet always have a tingling feeling in them . Did you EP ever call you back? If so, how did you make out?? Feel bettter!Jacquie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gdomaracki Posted February 11, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2006 No, my ep NEVER called me back but a nurse did to tell me that they would call me next week for a follow up. . .go figure! They frustrate me so bad. I still feel extremely weak, exhausted, and my legs are still achin' and sore. Hopefully this goes away. . .

Sunfish Posted February 11, 2006 Report Share Posted February 11, 2006 sorry to hear that you had just a crummy day. if you're not feeling better & these symptoms are new for you i would encourage you to not wait for your doc to call you back next week & instead call them. i know it's a pain but it's often the only way to get things moving more readily.while weak/sore legs don't seem to be too unusally amongst folks with blood pooling, paralysis is NOT a "normal" part of POTS that should be written off as such. feeling like you cannot move b/c of exhaustion/discomfort is one thing; truly not being able to move at all is another. and while there are people on the board who have had both it's important to get new things checked out.i hope you're feeling at least a bit better today... melissa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
