Thank You ALL! for the response to my first entry.
Since reading about so many of you I now feel extremely lucky to be able to
do the things I can at this moment.
I am a stickler for details so I will try to start from the beginning as
accurate as possible.
I have been building a house in the mountains for a couple of years and
been trying to do it mostly by myself. I was loading up on my trailer ( that
I
use to haul my tractor around with) a used washer and dryer in my, In laws
driveway and noticed I had what I thought was a crick in my neck. I thought
well no big deal it will go away in a few days. I proceeded up to the
mountains
to unload my new treasures and did so by myself just like always.
The next day I noticed that I had a pain like a muscle spasm in the
middle/right side of my back. I think the crick had magically disappeared. I
remember thinking that was odd but now I have a spasm to contend with now (
cause
when your doing construction you constantly have pains ). That night I woke up
in the middle of the night with some of the most extreme pains in the upper
middle of my back, like between my shoulder blades. The pain just kept
building and building, so because of the awful discomfort I got up and started
to
walk and I would just collapse straight down like an accordion. The first time
was so unreal to me I could not just get up and was like ( what the H ) . I
started to claw and grab the bed and furniture any way I could to get myself up
and then I would go to walk and down I would go again. By this time the
pain,shock and disbelief, happening all at once was starting to make me cry.
When I would get back in the bed my legs were just jerking uncontrollably
with powerful jerks. I was in total confusion. My arms were going numb and I
remember thinking (am I having a heart attack? Is this what it feels like when
you're having a heart attack?).
I tried many times to get up and walk that night cause of the unreal pain
going on and sometimes I would be able to walk to the kitchen and other times
I would just fold up and go straight down just like as if I had no legs at
all but I would pull my self up again and again till I finally got on the
computer and did a search about heart attack symptom's. With that search I
felt
like I had 7 out of 10 signs of having a heart attack and at that point was
thinking, that is what was going on.
( I will continue later I must go for now )
