OK ladies, I was in the hospital again for close to 4 days this past week.  Last week I finished up my Radiation treatments on Thursday. I had been feeling these weird feelings in my face. Mostly my nose,and around my lips. It was like a numb tingly feeling. My lips felt numb. then it was even in my eyes and forehead. By Saturday or Friday nite even I was getting like a buzzing in my legs. Now take note to these symptoms,gals! Facial tingling and numbness can mean a possible calcium deficiency! My electrolytes were so messed up I could have gone into a cardiac arrest.  My legs felt weaker also and were "buzzing" like "humming" like a motor running in my calfs. My feet were also numb. Please ladies, if you ever start to have weird tingling and numbness call your DR's don't wait.


With my Celiac i was going to the bathroom a lot, so if you say go through a stomach virus and are having vomiting and diarrhea for instance and it gets to a point you feel there symptoms do NOT dely calling your Drs.


They believe mine is related mostly to my Celiac diseas process. It was sary to say the least.


what was funny was as soon as they started the IV's in the ER like Magnasium,Pottasium,Calicum,phospherous, I was ravinously hungry. LOL. I think I gained a couple of pounds in the hospital. The gluten-free food was actuallly quite tasty!


Well, take care ladies and have a very Merry Christmis and a health happy New Year, love you all!

What was the cause of your dizziness and numbness? The radiation, the meds, or the Celiac itself?

I'm glad you are out of the hospital in time for the holiday weekend and hope the new year bring better health to you.

No, the numbness and tingling comes from the electrolyte imbalance. You don't have to have Celiac for that. A bad stomach virus can cause it! That was what
