Wow, just read this.
Chuck, my man, hope you're better; damn, that must have been scary.
Do us and your family a favor, get a second opinion and a thorough work-up and stress test.

Thats what I told the ER DOc. I forgot to mention the best part. WHen this all happened I called my regular doc. He says I cant treat you because he switched to Kaiser. He wont even refer me to someone. His nurese only said, "That doesnt sound good." So I'm freaking out with no doctor. The ER doc was great though. What he really said was a cigar every other day. I said what? He repeats. We go through this for a while and settled on one a day. I'm going to sell all my PC 's and buy all DC's.:glassesgr
I get to go see a specialist now and got the day off.

Mine got so bad I literally thought I was paralyzed. the feeling was gone from the waist down, tingling in my face and hands, etc. Still comes and goes depending on stress level.

Damn Chuck that's some scary crap to go through. I'm glad you're feeling better and I'll send some prayers your way that it won't happen again. I always blame the stressful job first, then talk about my vices. I know it had to scare your wife to no end.
BTW, in order to facilitate your long term health, I'll be needing to see some of them PCs.

Take it easy Chuck
also ask you new doc if one to two glasses of red wine a day will help.
(then you will have a new obsession.....like me!)
Chances are it could be stress from the job. What was you BP in the ER?
Your heart rate? Has he changed your diet? They probably drew blood every 4 hours to check for enzymes in the heart that indicates a heart attack.
PM me if you have questions

Yeah sort of. Went to see the neurologist. He says its not stress as my reflexes are all screwy. He has ordered every test known to man for next week. MRI, MRA electrical leg ananlysis...blah blah blah. Says I'm a quandry with too many things going on. Just what I wanted to hear. Says it could be a small stroke or blood flow limitation in the base of the brain. Great. Got a major lecture on cigars re stroke and heart attack. Back on aspirin.
First we have to find out the issue, then to the possible rehab. Now to see if the insurance will pay for all this.
Thank you for all the nice notes.
