quote:Within a week, about 9 months after all these strange symptoms started, the day that changed everything for me, I was just sitting down relaxing and suddenly I had the strangest feeling, like something jolted me in my back or stomach, I couldn�t really tell, it was so sudden and weird feeling, then I felt more tingling, almost like a shiver, down my left side my eye went a little droopy and it felt like the nerve near my eye was twitching, my mouth felt weird like I couldn�t move it very well, I got up and I was off balance I was very dizzy and felt really weird. My hearing went out again a little, with ringing and buzzing in my ears, such pressure in my head. I felt like I�d had a stroke. I�d never had one before but I knew the symptoms and have seen what they can do to you as I work in health care.
I've just been reading this story earlier...
http://www.canlyme.com/smurraystory.html and found out that I also have this symptom that comes and goes (not really daily). The woman that I've quoted, explains the symptom perfectly.
Whenever I lay in bed, especially just before falling asleep, I get this stammering, jolting sensation (I get in in the buttocks, stomach, spleen and liver area). This symptoms is accompanied by a severe shortness of breath that goes away within a few minutes.
