Last three days I've had a scary new symptom.
Standing in the shower, it's the sensation like I'm steadily losing sensation in my legs from the waist down. If I move around it kind of reassures me I won't fall over, but it was extremely disconcerting. I had this happen two days in a row. Yesterday I did the shower so fast in fear it would happen again, it barely got started.
Last night though when I woke up with stomach upset, I realized that some of the skin sensation down my right leg was fuzzy -- not like when a limb falls asleep and then you get the tingles as circulation is restored. This morning again I'm getting it just standing around in the kitchen.
I got to wondering if this could possibly be related to POTS, e.g. circulatory issues, or if I've been misdiagnosed and this is actually some sort of MS thing.
Does anyone else get this? Any advice?
Many thanks.
