I have had two odd things happen in the last 24 hours.
My flare or exacerbation or whatever it is, has been over since mid-May. I have a few ongoing issues, one being some bladder trouble (intermittent urgency/hesitancy and possible retention).
I've had increasing pressure/pain in the pelvic region this past week, was treated for a UTI, tested clear, pressure continuing. Yesterday morning started out of the blue with sciatica, increasing in pain all day, then started into lower back pain. Eventually around 4:30 the pain became quite extreme, I started with real tightness in my head, then for about 30 seconds it felt like inside my head was vibrating/buzzing. I was scared. Almost immediately, extreme pain over -- but my arm went numb.
This morning, I drove my daughter to work, and almost hit a rabbit on the road. You know that rush of adrenaline when you are certain you will hit something? Good news -- it was a smart wild rabbit and he didn't get hit. But again, my arm went numb.
During my exacerbation, I had right side hemiparesis (hand, arm, shoulder, hip, leg). Now, I only have the numb feeling when I'm overheated, or over use the arm or leg, and it's transient (less than an hour of numbness). So I'm pretty sure it's parathesia, but would love confirmation. And would this be normal onset for a parathesia -- pain or fear? It's very strange.
