Kimberley Posted October 24, 2003 Report Share Posted October 24, 2003 Hello, has anyone experienced heavy feeling arms and legs in the morning? I feel like someone is holding me down and it is very hard to get up. And my arms and legs sort of ache also. Please excuse my spelling. Thank you.

hilfgirl33 Posted October 24, 2003 Report Share Posted October 24, 2003 Yes, I have experienced this. Sometimes my left arm feels numb but not pins and needles, kind of like heavy and not there. Don't know what causes this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MightyMouse Posted October 24, 2003 Report Share Posted October 24, 2003 Yep, that's a very familiar feeling. When I was very young, I even had a hard time holding my spoon to pick up my cereal once a managed to get out of bed and get to breakfast.Nina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geneva Posted October 24, 2003 Report Share Posted October 24, 2003 I used to get that feeling especially in the early stages. I also can get that feeling due to low potassium levels occasionally. Usually it is all over but sometimes I have thought it was just POTS and when I have my potasium level checked it is low. I take florinef so I have to be careful. Just thought I'd throw that in should you also take florinef. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roy Posted October 24, 2003 Report Share Posted October 24, 2003 My legs fell heavy, numb and achy in the afternoons when I tend to feel my worst. It gets even worse if I eat large meals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ethansmom Posted October 24, 2003 Report Share Posted October 24, 2003 I know exactly what you mean- but this happens to me more later in the day, when I start to get tired. I just look at something and think UGGHHH I can't even move to reach over and get that!!I feel like my limbs weigh a thousand pounds sometimes- just another lovely POTS thing I suppose . . .
