In the middle of the night, I woke up with no feeling in my legs other than a strange dull pain. I could not move them without great effort. I was moving around, crying because I was in a bit of a panic.
I managed to scoot my way down the stairs, Nate took the girls to school and off to the instacare we went. They checked my blood sugar level which was at 50. They gave me an iv because I was a bit dehydrated and some juice. After an hour, they tested it again. 50. I was given an prescription for the pain and told to drink gatorade. I was also told to have a follow up with my doctor the next day. I went to my doctor and he tested levels again. 50. He referred me to a specialist in Salt Lake City where they tested my levels. 50. They gave me a snickers bar. Tested again. 50. I ended up doing a scan where I had to drink this terrible drink.. a ton of it and then get a CT scan of some sort. They thought there might be something wrong with my tract or something. I was weak and very lethargic. After a week or so, I started gaining some strength and energy back and to this day, nobody has an answer for what was happening.
