Strange day!

Happy rainy Saturday to you all (!!) - just a little ‘sound off’ of my confusion.

I woke up bright and breezy this morning, got up at 6am, did some tutor reports, took a cup of tea back to back to wake up other half and all good. Then over the next half hour I had several rather violent jerks, which had diminished to maybe 2 or 3 small ones a day over the last few weeks. I got up to make another cup of tea, my right leg jerked whilst I was walking and my walking has now become a complete mission. My legs are buckling and I stagger. I’m exhausted.

Let’s see how the day goes.

Oh and fantastic, rereading my post I see my once perfect writing is going bananas! ‘back to back’ meant ‘back to bed’.

Yesterday I wrote on the board - 25% of the world’s population use 80% of the work’s resources - kindly pointed out by an 11 year old.

My brain has gone screwy

I know the feeling! (Screwy brain here too.)

Beware that bright and breezy feeling - it is NOT a reason to do loads of work! Take things nice and slow, have a break BEFORE you start to feel tired - eek that feeling good out as long as possible!

For now… REST!!!

Hello Deb,

Have you seen anyone with regards to your symptoms, if not I would suggest that you do. In the mean time take care and don’t do to much and rest.

Hi Janet - thank you, I think yesterday was a temporary worsened blip: my legs are stiff today but not particularly buckling any longer. I had a very painful neck and upper back yesterday too which may be related.

I’ve recently had the full-whammy of evoked potentials and an eeg during which a jerk was videoed(!). I’m seeing the neurologist on April 11th for the results so unless anything longer lasting happens I’ll be fine waiting for that I’m sure. Each day is a new mystery waiting to see how you’ll be isn’t it!

Hope it’s a good day for you today

Hi Deb,

I to started off with small jerks apparently called myoclonic jerks which eventually kept me awake at night and extended into the day as well. I wish you the very best for April 11th and please do let us know the results.

In the mean time take care.
