Hi all, If this email is a duplicate of an earlier one I sent, I apologize. I composed and emailed the message, then got an error telling me it hadn't been sent. I've been having this problem and sometimes the message gets sent anyway, so if it's a duplicate, I apologize. I've been experiencing brief but very frequent periods of numbness and weakness affecting the left portions of my body: from my chin up the side of my face to my scalp; my left shoulder and upper arm; and my left chest; my left leg, accompanied by weakness. These periods last anywhere from 15 seconds to 5 minutes. I don't have any other symptoms, except that when it occurs in my leg, I do experience some difficulty walking while the numbness/weakness are occurring. I was admitted to hospital this pas tweek for fear I was having TIAs or a heart attack, but after numerous neurological and cardiac tests, these problems were ruled out. However, no other ideas for the cause of these attacks were offered. I wondered if it could be part of my Parkinson's disease. Have any of you ever heard of or experienced such attacks? Any input would be appreciated.
