We woke up at 6:30am. I didn’t think I had any episodes through the night but shortly after I fell into one that lasted almost 15 minutes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Just before 8:30am I felt another one coming on. I called my husband and he observed me. I could still speak lightly and move for another 3 or 4 minutes before I fell into a full episode. About 5 minutes later I could speak again but when the nurse came in I still couldn’t move.\u00a0 <\/span>She took my vitals. About 15 minutes later I was able to move again. I had an annoying cough that scared me because I was worried I wouldn’t be able to breathe with the phlegm in my throat.<\/span><\/p>\n

I had another episode at 10:20am when my youngest sone came to visit.\u00a0 <\/span>He lied down next to me and lowered my bed.\u00a0 <\/span>I was able to speak after 2 minutes but it took another 10 minutes before i could move my arms and legs.<\/span><\/p>\n

My husband went home around noon to get some sleep and returned around 3:30. While he was gone I had a 10-minute episode around 12:30. I had another one around 2:00 and then went in for my EEG around 2:15.\u00a0 <\/span>During the EEG I had a complete episode which lasted around 5-10 minutes. Shortly after I got back my husband was there with coffee for two of my roommates.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

At 3:15 we had just finished playing a board game on the tablet and I had another 2 episodes back to back.\u00a0 <\/span>The first one lasted only a few minutes and I could move after 10 minutes. Then I went back out and was able to move again after 5 minutes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

An hour later I was told I was going for a CT of my organs (this time with contrast). The nurse tried to put a second IV in me but failed. I ended up having a panic attack (sweating, nausea, shaking). It could have been due to the tensor on my arm being too tight. In the end we did not get another one in and the CT technician said the small one already in was sufficient.<\/span><\/p>\n

The episodes are now lasting approximately 5 minutes. I had another at 5:00, 5:10, 5:40, 5:45 (lasted 15 minutes), 7:10, 7:20, 8:10, 8:40., 9:00, and 9:15.<\/span><\/p>\n

At 9:30 I got up to go to the bathroom and collapsed just outside the door. My husband caught me and I was able to get up after a few minutes, go pee, then went to bed and fell asleep for the night.<\/span><\/p>\n

My husband crawled into bed with me and slept by my side all night again.<\/span><\/p>\n
