has anyone ever felt weakness in one limb more than the other? ANYONE?
oh yeah my right side from face to foot had it for a while only on the outside of arm and leg
yes left arm! very strange sensation
Forgive me as my mind has been everywhere. I thought I was the only one.
I understand completely like i said ive been dealing with this since october tiredness november worse tiredness and sore december whole body shut down with brain fog sore racing heart anxiety stomach issues no appetite all the way through mid march now its just different symptoms every day/week including the numb feeling
its seems like it is just never ending. I better hang on because my situation just got underway.
If you dont mind me asking, how long did you have that symptom for Josh??? more or less
its nice to hear im not the only one. Not that I want you to have to go through that, however. I hope its not getting to you that much Ash.
Even now you’re still developing new symptoms Josh?
At different times I did feel specific areas of pain maybe in one limb over the other Jorge, it can be normal during mono to feel all sorts of weird aches and pains, I remember I had a horrible phase of muscle and joint pain / aches and even bruising which really frightened me, but again with God’s help only it did pass.
Hoping these awful pains can settle down Jorge, thinking of you and hoping this can be a more settled and better week.
Craig
two weeks i would say
hi Jorge,
some days when i wake, i am scared so i comb through pages of this forum to find familiar symptoms as others - so then i can go about my day without fear and anxiety
even though its difficult to do~
i had weakness in hands/arms a little in beginning -and now i have it equally in arms-all over really
legs have been jelly to for months*
scary^^
here’s an old post i found-
“I clearly remember the weakness in my legs and in my left arm because I got terrified I had MS and demanded an MRI (it was before I got my mono-diagnosis”
hope that helps!
take care
healing prayers to you and all on this forum
like i said before
we’re all here to help e/o
Craig is our rock here-
he has the best most comforting words-
you’ll make it through ok
…
Starr how far along are you and what percent recovery do you feel i am 6 months at least and am starting a new job going from an ironworker to working at the mill ive worked at for 8 years and though the job will be easier its kind of scary transitioning while i still feel ill.
Thats what I do exactly, Star. I get on here and look through all the posts. The last few days I’ve been on here just scrolling through the various posts. Thank you very much for sending me that older post. It has helped a bit. I’ll tell you what Star. I’m going to be sticking around for quite sometime.
Thanks for your kind words Starr, it means a lot as I’ve been going through a very tough time this last few days over some worrying news I received and just don’t know what to do, really need God’s help. If you could keep me in your prayers just now it would mean a lot, that God would protect and strengthen me and my loved ones.
I hope you are doing okay today, I just pray for the Lord’s grace, mercy and healing hand in your life today Starr, in Jesus name. Praying for His divine intervention, all things are possible with God and to us who believe. Praise God for that.
Thinking about you and thanks as always for being so supportive of me - you have supported and lifted up me and others so much on the forum Starr, don’t underestimate how much good you have been doing through that, God sees that and is pleased with you I truly believe that.
Craig
It’s definitely a really good forum Jayce as Starr says, so many people who are kind, compassionate, supporting and truly understand how painful and awful it is to go through mono / glandular fever and how deeply it can affect you physically, mentally and emotionally.
You will get through it Jayce, it’s a horrible virus but it does get better with time, it can be so intense and draining and take so much out of you and away from you, but your health and resilience and strength will come back with time Jayce, truly it will - just so frustrating it can take a bit of time with this, but with time and God of course you will get there - hang in there and thinking about you - you WILL get better and be back to fully health again, I TRULY believe that.
Craig
I hope they settle down as well Craig. My mind just feels overworked dealing with these symptoms. I will continue to keep this forum close to me as it is all I have. Thank you
sorry Josh for my late late response^*
I got hit hard overnight, 8/14/18
One day went to work, that night did yoga-
next day woke up
sick sick
no easing into this for me
just been very hard the whole way through.
percent of recovery
maybe: 50% if that-?
still feel like i have a ways to go…?
Im almost at month 10
some symptoms have come/gone/while others persist and seem stuck
it changes from hour to hour/week to week/month to month at times-
the latest right arm super weak
?
almost limp feeling at times?
very nervous about it
as typically my weakness is systemic and not localized?!
also;
headaches/off balance/
legs got hit hard too
low back
neck
muscle weakness…
nausea
body just feels unwell at times…
seems relentless at this point-
its all very overwhelming…
im doing ok but havnt had a symptom free day yet***?
im confused about the whole process-of healing
waiting for a symptom free day so i then know im in the recovery phase i guess?
maybe im healing but seems like one symptoms goes/gets traded off for another?
i hope you are ok working
how are you feeling
and what percentage are you at?
healing prayers to you!
thank u Craig!!!
again thank u for your kind words and encouragement
i hope you are ok
and im praying for all here!
im trying to stay calm
but am having right arm weakness
scary?!?!
yes!
agree…
this forum is of far more use than any DR who has not been through this
no one knows the terror we feel/face daily
its crazy there is no cure/pill no research or support for this dreadful thing!?!?!
i hope you are doing well
how is your arm?
my right arm two days ago started going weak/a little jelly feeling?!
new^*
and im 10 mos in almost
its sore when i use it and feels limp almost
i went and got a brain MRI because of it
rule out the scary stuff
waiting on that-
this is like standing on a cliff daily and wondering if youre going to plummet
?!?
the fluctuations in sypmtoms and the persistant ones keep me guessing
no control
or wondering whats next
its tough to hit cruise control and heal on up
how are you feeling?
did your arm get better or even out?
