Guest guest Posted April 9, 2006 Report Share Posted April 9, 2006 I had recently been in the hosp. 2xs since Dec. I had a 4 1/2 hr+ gran mal seizure. Once i was stabilized there from my epilepsy, i noticed i was experiencing alot of pain an discomfort on my left side. I also noticed a tingling sensation in my left arm down to my toes. I asked the dr. about the possibility of having a stroke. and was told my tests given did not sayi had one. my left arm and hand are curling inwards and " hooking " . My mother was crippled to a wheelchair at 36 yrs of age with RA. Now i am concerned for myself that somehow after my two near death experinces with the ventilator exs, and incubated 3xs too. That i have contracted RA. I cannot feel my toes on the left and my fingertips feel like they are pushing from the inside to the outside. My epilepsy has really had me for a tailspin these months since Dec. I have been given Skelaxin 800 mgs 3xs a day (no good after 2 wks). Cymbalta 20 mgs 1x a day (no good). Motrin 800 mgs 3xs a day (no good either). The dr's ask how my pain level is on a scale 1-10, i say 65! it hurts that much. I have tried OT & PT. no more can be done. i am partialy paralyzed now after these seizures on my left side. Can anyone tell me if this is possible for me to get RA after my seizures? Please help. rangers_rainbow@... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
