My episode

Today is January 25, 2009 at 1:00 am. I was coming home from my sister Heather's house when I felt like I was going to have one of my episodes. The feeling passed and I was fine. About 1:55 am I was laying in bed when I felt like I was going to have another one of my episodes and sure enough I was having one. It feels like a tingle goes all the way from the top of my head to the tips of my toes. I have described it to several doctor's as if I was walking on air. I am not able to walk very good. (People who have witnessed these episodes say that it looks like I have metal rods going through my back and legs). I feel like I have no control over my legs. This usually last for about 2-3 minutes. Other problems that I have noticed are when my legs start to go back to normal my speech started to slow down, I know what I am saying but I have a hard time saying the words. This with the speech and the legs lasts about 5-10 minutes. When this is all over with it is very hard to concentrate.

It has been two very stressful weeks, we have been dealing with some family problems.
