Hi Dr A*.
Was wondering if it's possible to move up my appointment or maybe find some help for symptoms.
I have never felt as bad as I do now. I mean I have had bad days once in a while, but it has been over a month of feeling dead tired all the time, my legs are numb while still being achy and tingling.

This last week it has moved to my hands and it's just horrible. My hands and feet 'hurt' all the time, they are either achy or burning, I feel like there is something crawling under the skin of my lower legs making them feel sort of tense and like the calves are flexed.

It seems to have started around the time of my gallbladder surgery but just keeps getting worse.
I am crying all the time too. Like every day for the past week. But nothing is actually wrong. If anyone asks how I am, tears fill my eyes. I can’t stop it.

I kept thinking this would just pass like it has in the past and I can just deal. But I'm not dealing.

Okay so: is there anything I can do for the fatigue, the constant crying, the burning and tightness in my legs or the pain and ache in my hands and feet.
I'm open to anything.
I just have to feel better so I can cope at work and with my mini.

Hi Dr. A
I'm am having my second dose now but my nurse wanted me to update you.
Yesterday was exponentially worse than Tuesday. And as I may have said during my appointment, Monday was exponentially worse than previous days. It feels like it just keep doubling.

Yesterday, I fell at school, my legs disappeared and I was sort of light headed dizzy. My coworker was right there and caught me but it was really scary.
As the day progressed it happened 4 more times, but I was always near stable objects so I didn't fall.
In comparison to prior, (since my surgery in August when I think this all started,) I might have felt like I might fall once or twice a day but not as extreme, there would need to be a precedent, (uneven floor, not bracing a rolling chair, stepping over an obstacle incorrectly.) Yesterday there was no precursor... Just walking, slight light headedness, and I feel myself falling.

I finished my first steroid treatment at 5:30 ish and by 7 pm the numbness, burning and slight pain normally isolated to below the knee shot up both legs. My thighs to my toes are achy, tingling and burning. My hands have no change real change in feeling, but my dropping of things yesterday was much worse.

This morning my legs and hands are painful, I've had a couple moments of feeling light headed.

I hope this information helps. My nurse told me I should tell you.
Thanks
K
