one side body paralysis - #13189
I am really freaking out right now. For the last couple of weeks, I've been feeling this weird thing on my right side. It started with just some tingling in my fingers, but then one side body paralysis hit me out of nowhere. One morning, I could barely lift my arm, and my leg felt like it just wasn’t responding. It was super scary, like I was on some medical show or something. I went to the ER and they did a CT scan and kinda ruled out a stroke, but I've been referred to a neurologist and I’m just waiting for the appointment. They mentioned something about it possibly being from stress or even a pinched nerve, but I don't get how one side body paralysis could just pop up like that, you know? Have any of you experienced something similar? How do I cope with one side body paralysis while waiting? Is there anything I can do or look out for in the meantime? I keep reading about all these possible causes and it's making my head spin. I can’t help but worry about what this really means and if I'll recover fully.
