I would really appreciate some help here. I have a GP appointment next week but I don't hold out much hope of getting anywhere. This happened to me following an absolutely hellish period, awful cramps, pain, lower back spasms etc. I'm keeping a symptom diary for my gynae to determine if I may have endometriosis. This was Thursdays and Fridays entries.
Thursday 2nd - woke up with sharp nerve pain in left ankle area. Stabbing pain. Over the course of the morning, the whole foot became sensitive to touch, sunburn like feeling. Suddenly got worse around evening time, progressssed to tingling, pins and needles all down left leg & bottom area. Sudden need to empty bowels. Muscle twitches & tremors. Lower back and pelvic area became very weak and I felt like I couldn't support myself properly. Walking difficult, lack of coordination like muscles couldn't work properly. Very off balance and felt weak throughtout body but legs most affected. Strange fluttering sensation in chest and neck, some palpitations. Exhaustion.
Friday 3rd - slightly better than yesterday. Still weak and exhausted. Less pain. Still tingling and pins and needles. Still some tremors and twitches but less. Loose feeling joints. Couple of sudden bm's. Need to rest a lot. Avoiding putting pressure on spine as worried it's compressed disc related but feels like it's affecting whole body so??? Strange feeling in chest/neck still there occasionally. Palpitations upon deep breaths. Feels like nervous system dysfunction.
Today I'm slightly better again, despite being kept awake by a dodgy stomach for half the night. Some tremors. Still some weird buzzing/tingling sensations in left arm and leg. If anyone has any idea what on earth is going on here I would really appreciate it. It's not the first time something like this has happened.
