I am home from work today on sick leave, rather leave without pay. I had a very strange experience yesterday. I went over to my boss's office (about 30 feet away from my cubicle), he wasn't there, so I headed back to my cubicle. I was about half way back when suddenly my whole body felt as if I was swimming in quicksand. My limbs got very very heavy. I could barely move. I sat myself down on the desk where we sort our mail, and stayed there for about 30 seconds. By then, all the symptoms were gone.
I got back to my desk and told my sister, who kept an eye on me for the rest of the day. I felt fine, but tired. When I got home from work, I tried to get thru yesterday's post, but only got to about, Page Four. I did some things around the house, and then was in bed by 6:45.
When I got up at 4:00 this morning, I was so shakey that I could harly drink a glass of water or dial the phone. Since I normally suffer from hand tremors, that isn't terribly unusual. I finally got the phone dialed and told work I wouldn't be in, took my morning pills, and went back to bed. I didn't get up again till 10:30. I feel okay now, but the whole experience was weird.
