Three out five days a week I am not even able to get out of the bed anymore. [NO PITTY PLEASE!] Last week when I was having one of my involuntary days off, I was doing the usual 2nd transplant thing; temp from 101-104.6, could not get out of my bed w/o help, could barely walk from muscle & hip pain. Then something really scary happened, I woke up numb from the chest down - I could not move at all. This happened 3 different times. Has anyone else ever had this happen to them? If so, please tell me - if you know - what was it? What causes it? What made it leave? I'd really appreciate some feedback from you guys about this & all the prayers you spare for my family & especially my Mom - she is scared to death for me... the docs changed me from chronically ill to terminally ill and she was setting there when they told me.
Happy New Year Everyone!
