I've been out of commission as I have been very ill so NO I am NOT working. This happened on Thursday, and scared the heck out of me.

Live; I am sorry for your troubles. On this site, it becomes apparent quickly that the clarity and specificity with which a question is asked results in a better quality answer. If you had added the detail that you had already called the doctor, I do not doubt that you would have gotten responses that did not tell you that THAT was the first thing to do. Some writers did speculate that low calcium or seizure activity could be the cause.

Please remember that we are not experts; we're fellow caregivers. We give opinions from our own experience. We are also only human. Good luck to you.

Have you contacted your doctor about this? If not, call your doctor in the morning.

Was it short term or is everything still locked up? If your body is locking up short term you might be having a myclonic siezures. Look up the definition and see if it applies to your symptoms. But, I agree with cmagnum make an appointment and see your primary care physician soon.

Sure sounds like a seizure/stroke to me. You need a Medical Alert pendant and a good neurologist.

I am seeing people I have cared for over the years with too many diagnoses to even state here. GET YOUR SELF INTO YOUR PHYSICIAN. You give no history of yourself & put this out~It scares me & I have an active license I wish to protect~I wish you nothing but FAST RECOVERY~Please see your physician...If nothing more know that you do not walk alone~now go call your physician, please. I am glad you have reached out~many don't have a place safe to go to & find suggestions.

Good heavens, we aren't Miracle Workers here. I realize people write in a panic, but when it comes to physical issues that happen within hours, there is no way any of us can figure out what happened or why or how to fix it. We aren't physicians. And if any of us had something similar there is no guarantee it was from the same cause.

I know if my legs-arms-wrist-neck all locked up, I would have been on the phone to 911 stat.... because it could have been a variety of things that could have caused it.

I don't understand why you wouldn't have gotten yourself to the ER RIGHT AWAY!

PEOPLE! This is not a forum for emergency situations. This forum can provide useful advice for ongoing situations, but anything like this should be treated as a true emergency, with I visit to a physician, ED, or Urgent Care facility.
