A Strange Symptom

Very early Friday morning around 2:45 am, Jordan woke me up saying he was having some odd symptoms. He felt tingling all over his body that began in the base of his head and spread out. He couldn't describe it very well, but did describe it as tingling and burning sensations running throughout his body. It lasted for about 3 hours or so. For about 30 minutes of that time he also had these convulsions/shaking of his entire body. They came in waves and his whole body was shaking. As you can imagine, these symptoms freaked us out quite a bit! I called the doctor on call and spoke with him, and I was just about to take him back to the ER when it started getting a little better so we didn't end up going to the ER. The next day Jordan spoke with the doctor and he said Jordan probably just overdid it the day before and the blood draining out of his head and down his spine probably just irritated a nerve in his spine. He said the shaking was probably just Jordan's body reacting to such an odd sensation. Nevertheless, the doctor told Jordan to slow down and take it easy! If you know Jordan well, this is kind of a foreign concept to him, haha! I definitely have my work cut out for me keeping him cooped up and taking it easy! Anyways, we were just glad it ended up being no big deal and just a warning for him to slow it down a bit!
