Sometimes I experience a numbness in my feet,hands &arms &parts of my face.It happens infrequently and so far I cannot see any pattern as to when this happens,but it has happened a good few times and mostly while taking a hot shower.I thought that it could be some kind of anxiety symptom but now I think the anxiety happened after the frightening numbness/stiffness.It's a horrible sensation like my body feels heavy and those parts won't do what they're supposed to all of a sudden.
Fortunately it never lasts for more than 20minutes.It's just one of the many symptoms I forgot to mention to anyone before.
And happens so infrequently I had forgotten it.

Jinx,
That sounds like a frightening experince you had.It is good that your mother got to see that.Maybe she will believe that something is really happening now.Did the doctor say you were ok even without seeing/talking to you?if so they have no grounds to diagnose anything or nothing as the case may be.
I bet if the doctor were to experience what you experienced,
s/he would be very concerned.
It is so lonely &frustrating when you are not taken seriously by family friends & doctors.
I hope it dosn't happen again.

I hope you're feeling better soon. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/stuckintheyolk.gif" alt="" />
