I also had a episode on June 10, 2009. It started out as I got nausea, my heart rate went up my face started get tingly and my arms and legs. My breathing changed and then my left arm went completely rigid. At some point while driving I became incoherent (excuse my spelling) so my husband told me I kept saying tractor cause that what was in front of me. He said he asked where I was & all I would say is tractor. I dont remember alot from that drive. By the time I pulled in the yard it was all I could do . My husband tried to help me out by the time I pulle dmyself up I fell faster then he could catch me. He had to pull my arm out to get it to move out of its postion. By the time he got me to the hospital my muscle in my arm started to un tightened. The Dr. did alot test they came back all normal. Then on the 18th of this month I had two episodes in one day one I was on the way back to the office & I felt my arm starting to tighten up by the time I got into the office I felt light headed & so I sat down & then my arm & legs went to tingly so my boss took me to the er it took about 2.5 hours for that left arm to relax. They ran more test and still they found nothing. They even did a drug test and of course it was negative. No clots,aniarisims,tumors, all blood work was good. No thyroid condition. So I went back to work and i felt exhausted & other than that I felt fine. So I was on my way out the door at 5 to go get my kids when I started to feel nausea so again the tingly feelings started, hard to breathe so I made it to a nearby fire station ems where they took me to the er. again all is normal and the friday I went to my doctor and told him all my symptoms pointed to a tia aka mini stroke could it be i just did a simple symptom check online. So ultrasound on the veins in my neck monday results on friday. all my test are normal but my body sure isnt acting normal. Anyone with any thoughts. God bless & hope all is well with everyone.

" I'm just wondering whether it is a medication reaction. I had something similar, but milder with Requip - tingling, overheating, nausea, feeling faint and becoming incoherent. I had a heart monitor done but it wasn't that. It only improved when I switched to the slow release Requip which suits me better and I haven't had another episode since. "

" Mmmm im also thinking that this does not sound like parkinsons disease . Obviously im not a Doctor, but l would possibly recommend having your heart checked, or yourself being checked for a slight stoke, by someone professional "
