has anyone had this happen to them?

[Guest guest]

One morning a long time ago I went to get

up in the morning. I rolled on my side & went to swing my legs out and

they didn’t move. I went to stand and they were numb and I fell as they

couldn’t hold me. I went to throw my hands out to catch my fall and my

arms and hands were numb and wouldn’t move. I fell on the wood floor on

my face and laid their for awhile before my muscles woke up. It never happened

that bad again. Sometimes I wake up & my arms or hands are numb, stuff everyone

gets.

Hi everyone I'm sorry I haven't written much lately. I do read as

many of the

posts as I can though. I really appreciate all the

information

everyone shares it helps immensely with still being new

to this

disease.

I had a

scary situation this morning. I woke up and I felt funny

like

something was wrong. As my mind got a little clearer I

realized I

had such severe muscle weakness I couldn't move anything

except my

head. My husband was home and being new to all this

didn't know

what to do. He kept rubbing my arms and asking me if I

could feel

it. I had no problem feeling I just had absolutely now

strength in

my body and was only able to move my head. I was also

having a

hard time speaking. After about a 1/2 hour I was able to

lift my arms

and within an hour could stand up.
