The Worst Episode Yet! - Multiple Sclerosis Message Board

The 18 hours or so have been my worse yet. My legs HATE me! I have had non-stop buzzing and jerking in my legs, arms, back, and stomach since last night. I got less than 3 hours of sleep. At 4 am this morning I was so exhausted but I could not sleep. My legs just wouldn't settle down. Eventually exhaustion go the best of me because I fell asleep between 4 and when my alarm went off at 7am. I got out of bed to my legs had the strength of two twigs. I dragged myself into the shower and got dressed for work to find that I could not find my glasses. I am not blind but I cannot leave the house without them. I realized that I hadn't seen them since I got home from work the evening before. After about 10 minutes of searching everywhere, I found them in my clothes hamper. I didn't both trying to figure that one out. After putting frozen food in the dry-goods cabinet and trash in my dish pan, I have just decided questioning those kinds of things are pointless. Anyway, I am sitting at work and my legs have been buzzing non-stop! They have been achy, too. I have also noticed since last night I have been been chills in my legs too. That is a new one.

For the record, I am undiagnosed and my neuro who I paged Tuesday hasn't call me yet. I have to admit that I haven't called her back either. I just don't want the added stress of her not beleiving me.

I hope your sympotms have eased up some over the weekend! If you feel liek heck then I think your neuro shoudl know Esepcially if youalready paged them, folllow up have it documented even if it just done ove rthe phone by the nurse then you have it to go on later if need be. Best of luck hope you get to feeling better very soon (I have not read your past posts, have you considered that you could have Lupus?)

I was worked up for Lupus a few years ago. My rheumy suggested that it could be the problem but once my bloodwork should hyperthyroidism, Lupus was taken on the list. I have since has the thyroid condition under control but all these symptoms have either reoocured and newly presented themselves since then.
