Stiff Legs?

Hey hon,
u better give Ben a break. Draggin him off to concerts, and such, he just can’t take it. Suck it up Ben. 🙂 Butt, I don’t blame ya. Go for some sympthany vote. 😀 I would. ah wat was the question anyway? Oh, I remember stiff and heavy. * scratches head*
other than that…

ps
git u a chair and go to the front, then u kids can watch the devil close. *grins evily*
who u go see anyway, u never said. I promise I won’t laugh.
when did it go from a concert to a situation? war u drunk an loose?
24 hrs is a long time to nurse a stiff leg. I think u supposed to call the doc after 4.

Wow, Shanon, 6 hrs?! After 11 years I surely couldn’t do that. I think that Ben’s legs were indeed protesting! I’m so glad that he has “recovered” but it may have set him back a bit. There are no “double blinds” for this disease, you just have to listen and learn. Each person is unique. I sure hope that both of you enjoyed the “symphony” ~ ha!

I have been five years post GBS and I still feel this way from time to time…his legs/body will tell him when he needs to take it easy.

Celtic Women ~ yes! Will you be including my fav “Il Divo” or “Josh Groban”?? 😉

Seems that NOISE is an enemy that challenges me often. I have not been able to go see a movie or go to a concert. TOO LOUD! 😮

Might consider a wheel chair when going to be standing for a long time. Gives the GBS’er a place to sit and the Caregiver a place to lean on. 😀

I also have a handicap sticker for my car also. Saves me those extra steps that take all the energy out of me before I get there!

Enjoy your Summer!:cool:

I’ve been back at work full-time since Dec/04, and Sat. before last I made the mistake of taking the girlfriend to Six Flags. After walking around all day, I was noticeably tired and stiff, but then again who isn’t after walking around a theme park for 6 hours? Everything was bearable until I got on the “Deja Vu”, a roller coaster that takes you up 150 feet or so (facing the ground), then SLAMS you down at about 80 mph, through the upside down turns . Then it stops, and you do it backwards. I haven’t been on a roller coaster in 15 years, almost passed out, and felt something “pop” in my head. WHAT was I thinking? I had a bad headache the rest of the day, and the next morning, I could barely walk because my legs and feet were so stiff and sore. I know the GBS noticeably took some strength out of me, and I had no business going there in the first place. GBS or old age, I’m not the same at 33 as I was at 18.

Roller coasters & lots of walking= bad.
Sitting on the beach & swimming in the ocean= good.

next time get a wheelchair or scooter for the park. it did wonders for me last week at Cedar Point. i went on 2 roller coasters-first time in a long time! i have not had too much bad side effects from our day long excursion.

Yeah I ryn ibno that if walking too longs and tyhen I get the revberating legs – yuk
