So, while I realize that a lot of you have experience with this sensation - it has become so bothersome and painful that I cannot work - all I do is lay in bed and go to Dr. Appointments the last few days. I cannot concentrate on anything - I honestly feel partially disabled from this - it is so unbelievably uncomfortable. ALSO - describing this to family and friends is proving to be difficult. The only person that immediately nodded her head and was like "yep" was my neurologist lol. Everyone else - well, I'm starting to see the humor in it... lol
Them: "how are you today Stacey?"
Me: "oh you know, the same..."
Them: "so...your still, like, numb or something? You seem to be walking fairly ok..."
Me: "Yeah.... You know when your foot falls asleep...and then you go to step on it, and it starts to wake up and hurts, and you feel pins and needles, and its still kinda half asleep...? Yeah - that is my left side of my body from head to toe - constantly"
Them: "well that sounds aweful - can you feel this? (pokes my face) can you feel this? (pulls my ear) can you feel this??? (pinches my arm)"
Me: "Yes demmit! It hurts! Stop doing that!!"
I have used the foot-fall-asleep description about 20 times in the last two days and my family wont stop poking and pinching me. lololol
