Please Welcome the Latest Addition to the Symptom Family...

Pins and needles in my lips.

A few minutes after I laid down for bed last night, my bottom lip starting tingling. It quickly turned into pins and needles, which spread to my upper lip. On the pain scale, I'd give it about a 6. It was painful but not unbearable.

I also had pins and needles down the backs of both legs and onto my heels, worse on the right heel. It wasn't as painful as the lip pins and needles, maybe a 4.

I slept about nine hours last night and woke up feeling unsteady but not bad. It's normal (that would be the new normal) to feel unsteady and have difficulty walking in the morning due to balance issues. I stumble all over like a drunk person, which I find somewhat hilarious. I've spent most of the day so far sitting on the couch, chatting on iChat or working on reports. But I feel okay. Not too tired. I did get weak and hot after playing a five-minute piano piece. Otherwise, I feel great!

Except for zero appetite. I've eaten a cookie and a small salad. Yeah.

Hm, I have mild pins and needles down the back of my right leg and onto my heel and the outside of my foot. That's also part of my new normal--that feeling is there 90% of the time.
