I would love to know if anyone could possibly have any   input in to my experience . .felt strange in my tummy I think can't say just  yuck went to bed ..in the morning woke got legs off bed collapsed  to floor tried again same thing legs had no feeling or ability to perform a simple task arms were same left one funny position long short 13 or so weeks later still  no change numb from waist .can think talk perfect but looked and felt like stroke victim . Couldn't get g.p to come to me I couldn't get there ..still no scan .. forgetfulness still an issue .. told lots of professionals ..no g.p record .so doesn't really count..  as if never took place it clearly worries me then and still one and half years later ..still concerns me may just happen again

    Welcome @Cathie Firstly Cathie for what information that as been given it is not clear for me to say too much. You have by the sounds of it had a worrying experience. When you say the GP would not come out this is in my case with uncontrolled feelings of legs should have come out. The way you have put the variety of issues could be a multi concerns and if that was the case for refusal tell them to phone you a ambulance. Some symptoms come to mind but don't quote me on this unless I had seen your bloods. Bloods should first be taken to eliminate virus or other serious illness. You may have had a mild stroke , we have many areas. Insist if a GP can not come out ask for a ambulance from them, this is your right.

    Hi @cathie, thank you for sharing this with us and I'm so sorry that you've had such an ordeal with accessing the right medical care.
