My 13 year old daughter said something strange to me yesterday and I can't get it out of my head. We were sitting down yesterday evening watching some tv and out of the blue she said to me "What's that thing called when you sleep on your arm funny?".
I said pins and needles and she said no, not that. Then I said a dead arm maybe, not even sure myself what it's called. She said maybe but not as bad. I didn't know what she was talking about so I asked her did she wake up with a dead arm this morning? I can't remember exactly what she said but it was something like not as bad as a dead arm but she had it all over. I asked her did she mean all over her body and she said yes, a kind of a weird feeling. She said it's not the first time it's happened to her but it was a bit stronger yesterday morning.
She said it goes away when she gets up and out of bed.
Inside I started panicking, thinking is it something to do with her heart and circulation or MS?
Then she said "Doesn't it happen to everyone anyway?". It's never happened to me so I wasn't sure what to say there. But yet when I asked her more about it, like how often does it happen and what exactly did it feel like, she didn't really want to talk about it, just said I don't know or I can't remember.
I mentioned it to my husband and he said it's nothing to worry about for now. He knows how bad my HA is and he said it's only a problem now in my head. IF it continues to get worse and turns into something real, then we'll get it checked out.
I'm not sure what to do here. Should I talk to her again about it or just leave it? I'm really scared what could be causing it, whatever it is.
Has anyone ever experienced anything like this?
