Title: Can't sleep
Post by dw1 on Mar 12th, 2004 at 5:33am
Hi all,

It's 2:20AM pst, and I can't sleep. Not that I have had any problems falling asleep but tonight I am feeling something funny or at least different. I have a rapid heart rate, trouble breathing, and dizziness at the same time. I am wondering if this is my body's way of warning me of "imminent danger ahead". I'm afraid to go back into dreamworld because when I had my initial stroke, it was during when I was asleep. Silly? Superstitious? My mind is not working right, or at least at full capacity.

You see I've already experienced weakness in my left arm which I thought I had sprained because I'm constantly reaching back in my wheelchair. And then, I thought maybe it's an MS attack. My neurologist are currently ordering tests to see if I have it or  not. It's still up in the air.

Or a third possible reason, maybe my body experienced a "mini-stroke" from the MM. I know it sounds weird but I am almost hoping it's the latter. Having MS would just add on top of my problems. Lord, knows we have enough to deal with, with "just" the MM. I'll probably stay up until my eyes beg for mercy and begins to shut itself down. See y'all in the morning...hopefully.

    Lrt your doctor know but I wouldn't worry because your symptoms are classic of nervous anxiety. which goes hand in hand with MM.  A simple prescription could put an end to these feelings.  also seek out the help of a good psychologist.  I'm sure you'll be fine.

Take care Tom G.

Hey Doug,

You gotta hang in there Buddy!!! You're right, you've got more than your share of problems just having mm. God bless ya Pal, but you need your sleep too. Gotta fight this disease in any way you can and the best way you can. I hope you contact your doctor, you know your body better than anyone. I'm hoping it's anxiety over all that you've been through. You're in my prayers.

Mar
