[QUOTE="Star*, post: 298121, member: 4964"] Susie* Hon - I am so sorry. You sound awful. I'm wondering when you fell the other night if you didn't maybe put your hand out to stop the falling or damaged the nerves in your hand in the fall? What you're describing sounds a little like a pinched nerve maybe? My future sister in law gets something called peripheral nerophathy in her feet that has that feeling of pins and needles but I think that is in both feet at the same time. The other thing that comes to mind is neuralga from diabetes. When was the last time you tested your sugars or had a 4hr. GTT? I'm really just throwing things out that I'm familiar with and not diagnosing by any stretch okay? As far as the weight gain? THAT is the SAME thing that happened to me - I packed on an entire person in under six months and gained weight so rapidly my skin split on the back of my calves. I was sure it was more than pitting edema because - it stayed. For years. The only thing to date that is getting any of the weight off at all? Sugar free everything lifestyle. (except that disgusting birthday cupcake). However with you? Wow....I said a few days ago - you need to get into the Mayo clinic, and I know you don't have the big insurance now - but you still have COBRA - and whatever is going on with you? Well Susie, it's your life - and I'm your friend and I worry. Do YOU think maybe they have you on SO many medications currently that your body is just revolting and saying NO MORE - we have had it ? and shutting down? Hence the dizzy spells and the vomiting? The pain medication doesn't have that much of a 1/2 life in your system so it can't still be those - it has to be something else but what? I DO know - that when I went off the Prozac I ended up in the hospital and nearly killed myself - read up about the side effects of not taking Prozac - it's wicked....and you say you take it every other day - MAYBE that's got something to do with it??? I don't know hon - just throwing stuff out for consideration. Hugs====huge huge ones. Star [/QUOTE]
