thread Dr Hive mind, diagnosis please.
I get my blood test results tomorrow, but in the meanwhile have some odd symptoms:

lying in bed my arms and legs will cramp a little at the slightest opportunity. I can feel my hands and feet tingling, and muscles jumping.
If I cough I feel a tingling sensation radiating from the centre of my spine outwards!

All this goes when I get up.

During the day around 10-11ish I'll get a steady side pain which moves as I move, eg sat on the bog it's not noticeable. Today the entire right side of my body including face felt numb-ish and now my left elbow is hurting. Right arm feels like it wants to cramp.

Blood pressure normal. I've been googling liver disease in preparation for what the doc might tell me tomorrow but none of what I'm feeling is mentioned, so what the flock is wrong with me?

aq: sheep.
permalink asking the internet for medical advice?

permalink I thought so too but
been given the all clear 2 years in a row now. Bad circulation maybe, see what she says tomorrow. I'm guessing nobody knows anyone who's had a dodgy liver?

aaand with that I scarper homewards, back in a bit.
permalink used to
permalink I have dodgy kindeys if that helps
still - be getting new ones soon
permalink Ants.
They're building a nest.

Could be anything really and all treatable.

permalink I think you'll find your skin will dry and spilt down the middle
you'll discard your old body and emerge as an axoltl
permalink Well Mr Witchy, it's beyond my expertise
but I'm going to refer you to Dr Hal9000 in case he has any insight.
permalink haha
erm
lupus?

Since my stroke i have had stiffness when sat still for some time (hour+) and it's worse first thing in the morning.
I do cramp a fair bit and my right side (stroke side) is prone to cramping quite a lot - muscles get screwed)
Other bits sound like trapped nerves so it might be a back issue.
i'm no doctor but i have had all of those symptoms and i aint dead yet.
permalink Involuntary stiffness
is common in all men, especially in the morning.
permalink my wife has been sleeping naked on top of the quilt
recently due to warm weather :)
permalink I noticed that,
thanks to the webcam those builders put in.
permalink You still haven't
paid me for that
permalink she is a red head
:)
permalink I prefer gingers though ;o)
permalink gosh - she's got better looking overnight
!
permalink I have none of those symptons
so it's not your liver
permalink it could be a fungus that flourishes in old
unused macs
permalink hypochondria?
you're just worried about the test results and have started paying attention to every little thing
a decent string of sleeps will help

as the hive mind is open: anyone heard of service charges to flats at 150-170 a month? they seem to be part ownership related but still
that seems prettyprettypretty steep
permalink Stroke
i had 2 - welcome to the club
permalink 2 strokes
that must be like riding around on a lawn mower
permalink doh
first a small one TIA then a proper one a day later.
I wouldn't recommend one, luckily i can walk, talk and move properly now (6 months) just have muscle pain ans stiffness
permalink ok it was a crap joke
i remember when it happened and was quite shocked
permalink nope, it was good enough to make
me chuckle
permalink If you can't laugh at yourself,
etc...
permalink i do most days
I think i was mildly depressed for 1 day when in hospital, that was mainly due to being stuck in a ward with 20 other over 80 year old men farting and dribbling, but i have been fine since then.
permalink so what's up with your kidneys then?
and is this genetic or just completely out of the blue?
*worries a bit*
permalink funnily enough
i was told not long after the stroke that i would have kidney failure within 2 years... The good news however is that I should be able to que jump being diabetic and i would have a dual transplant - kidney & pancreas..
So it's pretty cool - after being diabetic for 20+ years they are going to cure me (with just anti rejection meds going forward)

Oh and everything is always related to being diabetic.
Also another reason why i just laugh off the stroke I spose
permalink *puts down sticky bun*
permalink Just absolutely flew on the way home
despite a headwind. It's amazing what trying to get to the post office depot before it closed can do. Made it. Just.
permalink my instinct
is saying trapped nerve somewhere.

I have a touch of cervical spondylosis, and often get pain in my arms and pins&needles and that lot.

Are we running a book? 10p says it's a nerve thing.
permalink 11p says it only happens when
mrs witchy isn't about
permalink did you see that
you indirectly got me a free pizza?
permalink I did?
gizza slice!
permalink i haven't got it yet, just the voucher for it.
dominos' website was being shit and wouldn't let me order. i tweeted you as if you could do something about it, as i am mr hilarious. a real dominos person picked up on it and sent me a voucher. least they could do really, having to ring the shop up was a terrible trauma
permalink the cunts
are stalking me now :(

did you do @dominos or @domino's? It's not showing in my feed...
permalink haha!
I found it! the bastards *are* stalking me!!!
permalink it is worth it
to get me free pizza, right?
permalink morgan gets his century *phew*
anyone have plans for a trip to moscow.. apparently it's like smoking two packs of fags every few hours

permalink I'm gonna go with
bad circulation

or possibly Ankylosing spondylitis, just cos it's a good name
permalink necrotising fasciitis
is my favourite.
permalink anything like
spondylitis is a great name! I think trapped nerve too, but don't even know where to start on the diagnosis for that!
permalink they thought i had that there AS for a bit
but it was just a fcked back and me being a bit of a misery guts

driving a lot, standing on floor cold air vents in equipment rooms and generally being a slouch really doesn't help - i'd not be surprised if you were suffering similarly.

weirdly the bloke who worked opposite me was then diagnosed with it about a week later, but sadly it really was for him.
permalink hm, I do a lot of driving,
standing on cold floor air vents and sitting on badly designed office and workshop chairs. Mrs W's sofa isn't the most comfy either! Coming home I had the heated seat on max and it felt a lot better but moved pain to my chest. Were your symptoms worsened by booxe or bettered? Last night I felt great whilst having a bottle of wine :)
permalink i guess the muscle relaxant bit could help...
i also had pains in my side and chest, which turned out to be because of my back as well, there's a set of nerves runs round from the spine round the ribs that were getting squashed

so don't panic, you might not be dead tomorrow
permalink did they come and go almost
on a whim? There's no pattern, Currently most of my lower back has a bit of a throb on.
permalink wahey!
.
.
.
oh.
permalink they did come and go
but it would tend to be a half a day thing rather than a few mins
permalink *puzzled*
This really is fecking odd, night-time throbbage in particular!

Down, DC :)
permalink Diabetic?
sounds like blood sugar levels are not right
permalink ask rev biscuit
