What the heck body?!?

At 9:30AM this Monday my body decided to freak out. I was at work and suddenly felt zaps in random parts of my body that made my muscles twitch. It felt like being mildly electrocuted. I also felt very weak and dizzy. My vision blurred and I struggled to focus. My face felt more numb than usual and it was a challenge to talk. I held on for as long as I could, but finally texted my husband to come and get me. I was afraid to drive given the dizziness and blurred vision.

My gut reaction was to go to the hospital. Even to call an ambulance as I wasn't sure how far I could walk. But what would they do? What could they really do? I didn't feel like I had experienced a stroke. My heart felt fine. It felt like my Myopathy had suddenly gotten worse for God knows why or how? I have a rare condition and there's nothing the hospital can do about that other than test me for a stroke. It would be a waste of everyone's time.

Instead I had my husband call my doctor and talk to the advice nurse. They said to go to the hospital. I refused, laid in bed and cried. My husband comforted me and made me feel a lot better. All of this was very scary. My little dog also gave me comfort, refusing to leave my side.

She even lurked in the bathroom with me. 

I deduced that I might have a bladder infection and that could have sent my body into "CODE RED! SEND ALL ENERGY AND RESOURCES TO INFECTION FIGHTING!" I started antibiotics yesterday and am feeling a little better today. I hope to go back to work tomorrow.

It's terrifying how fast my muscles can just shut down. How even talking can become a big challenge. I know it was scary for my husband to see me like that too. Chronic illness isn't for the weak! Every day is some kind of new test. I'm so lucky to not have to go through any of this alone.
