Hi all, thought I would run this past you, if I might.
Last night whilst asleep I was woken by the feeling that my throat had stopped working. I couldn't breathe or swallow. It lasted for seconds, but I sat up in bed coughing , choking and gasping.
I lie on my stomach not my back and don't snore.
It has happened at least ten times over the last few months and always at night whilst asleep.
Does anyone else experience this.
Tia,

I wonder if anyone can recommend a medication for the above. I have broken a glass and cannot carry drinks with my right hand as it shakes. I have found that medics don't make suggestions so it would help me to know what you guys find helpful...
LEG Spasm. My most distressing symptom that I really wish I could minimize.I already stretch and use an exercise bike. Any help would be much appreciated.
Hi everyone, my fiance has secondary progressive MS, he was diagnosed with relapsing remitting MS is 2003, and diagnosed last august with secondary progressive. This is when I met him and in the last year my lovely fiance has sadly lost most mobility and is effectively quadriplegic now. Any way he is spending most of his time in bed due to the immense agony he feels in his wheelchair and rising recliner...or anywhere really. But I have just found out about Standing Wheelchairs, from what I can see The Genie is the most affordable and is suited for all wheelchair bound people right accross the scale to 'severely paralysed'. obviously the health benefits of standing up and moving about are huge and my fiance will get some independence back.
Has anyone got a standing wheelchair or knows if its worth it?
thanks :)
Morning One and All,
Have had builders/decorators and flooring people in for the last 3 weeks.
But, kitchen/diningroom and utility all look fab! They are all coming back next week, to turn my downstairs shower room into a wet room for me. Will be so good to have a shower, on a seat, and wash my hair without falling over !
New problem for me seems to be with my 'Ham-strings' ( I think thats what they are called?) the large muscles that run from the back of my knee to my bottom) Mainly the left but sometimes on the right, one of them goes into spasm, the muscle tightens up and hurts like hell.
Another feature is that it seems to make one leg shorter than the other................so lots of going on.
Take baclofen, gabapentin and amitriptyline.....but it dosen't seem to stop these spasms in these large muscles.
Do any of you guys have any ways of easing it.....I have tried gentle stretches, but that just makes my toes cramp up!
(One day Im going to try and do a whole post........................using only emoticons)
