Losing Feeling In Your Legs.
I’ve have been losing feeling in my legs at least 1 day a week on days I go in to work. I work at 5am. My legs just go numb and they go side to side like someone who is paralized. I have to catch myself before I fall. It doesn’t last that long. It’s pretty scary. I never admit anything scares me. I’m trying to be more open in my life. I’ve never been open about my epilepsy. I feel I’m getting worse. It just started happening a few weeks ago. Does this happen to anyone else?
I’m not sure what medicine you might be taking but I just started taking Lamictal & my doctor warned me off the side effects. One of them she mentioned was numbness & tingling in the hands or legs. I also recommend seeing a chiropractor, I see one every 3 weeks to adjust my neck to help with my headaches.
Have you discussed it with your Dr? I lost feeling in my right calf for several months. It turned out it was caused by a nerve that go pinched in my SI joint. Chiropractor fixed me up with one lower back adjustment. In my case I also have EDS so I often get pinched nerves due to joint over extension.
Breen, I see you asked this question a few years ago but I just saw it! Hopefully you’ve found a solution! If not, a question: are you taking Dilantin (phenytoin)? I am and this used to happen to me every once in a while, and it would take a couple of hours until I could walk straight again! We discovered my phenytoin level was 22 (supposed to be 10-20). This is one of the side effects of too much of it in your body, the numbness/weakness/falling. Find out what your level is at… your neuro may change your dosage.
I go see him on the june 1st. I’ll find out what he says. Thanks.
