I had been feeling much much better recently. No cause -I hadn't taken any supplement or anything. Just so much improved. More or less like normal life. Not pushing it but getting along with things. I have even been able to have a coffee every morning and enjoy it like before!
I have been sleeping okay. 7-8 hours usually. I woke up this morning and felt okay. Quite good. Went downstairs....still fine. Sun shining which was nice, and not too cold. Got my coffee and went outside as usual to feed my Crow.
Then on the way back with the plate my legs suddenly went. I didn't fall, but got this peculiar awful warm-ish slight pain from lower back right down both legs and they wouldn't obey me. The pain was minimal.
The legs not working was the most horrible thing. I managed to get into the kitchen, but was watching my feet behaving like they were not attached to me and my legs were like rubber. Though the legs weren't numb. I could feel them. They just wouldn't obey me.
Then I desperately needed the toilet. Really really urgently and luckily there is one right next to the back door.
What was running through my head was paralysis and loss of bowel control....that was the most awful sudden shocking thought. Another thought was my legs had gone permanently and how was I going to cope? I could sense I couldn't have walked even with a walker or two sticks in that state, and would need a wheelchair....and how was I going to manage a wheelchair in my lttle house, with steps, tight corners, narrow doors....
BM perfectly normal and as soon as I sat down the bad feeling left my legs. Afterwards there was no trace of the semi- paralysis. My belly and gut was absoluely fine. Normal and healthy.
I felt shaken up and scared, but no more of all that, and the attack only lasted about 3 minutes maximum 5.
I tried to shake it off and got on with a normal day. It didn't come back and I had no other symptoms.
Creeping thought....this sounded like an emergency room situation. Of course I didn't call an ambulance.
This was the most scary thing that has happened yet and it has been a tough year. It came out of the blue. I am now really very nervous it might happen again.
I know no-one can diagnose me! I just wondered if anyone else had had attacks similar to this and what may have caused it?
