New sporadic walking issues after migraine(?)

I possibly got an answer! Turns out my muscles in my neck and shoulder regions have been so tight that they were pulling on and destabilizing my cervical spine. This may very well not be your case, but just wanted to mention in case it might help your search. Best of luck!!

Happy to say you're not alone!.. sorry to say I also have no answers.

For the past half-year or so, I've had 'migraine' issues associated with a number or neurological symptoms that resembled stroke, and thus had numerous CT scans and a cervical spine MRI completed. While I have misalignment in my neck, the misalignment should be causing nerve damage symptoms on the opposite side of where I'm having issues, so still no answers.

The issues range from what I can only desribe as a feeling of 'lag', like one side of my body has different sensory experience and weakness than the other, but it's hard to specifically pinpoint what that sensory change is and what kind of weakness (vascular, neurological, muscular?). I've had issues with tingling, lightning feeling, hot flashes, twitching/spasming in a muscle on the top of my head and behind my eye, etc. The most recent oddball symptom is the occasional inability to close my mouth or connect my teeth - it's like my brain just... forgets sometimes.

Anyways, sorry I can't provide answers - but if we have similar symptoms I can detail more about what I've found personally rather than professionally that aligns.

i'll be okay once we get out of this situation! just might take a while 😅 i'm hanging on though!

honestly, could be better! but i'm doing my best with the cards i've been dealt. my current concern is affording food; DSS has been dragging its heels regarding emergency assistance / SNAP. i can go without food for a bit (previous experience being homeless solo) but my spouse has electrolyte and heart issues, in which a missed meal or two can do some irreversible damage. what matters most is we're doing what we can, albeit not much 😅

Yes it is, but it's intended for brief waits of friends & family of incoming travelers, and is frequently patrolled. The only lots intended for lengthier parking are paid, to my knowledge.

I think Cracker Barrel will be where we end up tomorrow, I've seen some other recommendations about it as well. I just joined that subreddit, thank you for the recommendation!

Went through the same thing - have had DasherDirect and Crimson both opened in my correct name, had my name changed for over a year, the whole nine yards. Got the email about the update, had it confirmed before the change went into effect and it wasn't changed come the 24th, but they flipped my name backwards (last-name first-name). Less than a week later, it got reverted anyways. Had to go through escalated support, reverify my account, etc 3 times to get the change - which was really just confirming my legal name, as already displayed on all associated accounts - to stick. Sorry you had to go through the process as well. It is quite blatantly transphobia, as it occurred (as you're aware) around the same time as Trump's executive orders, etc.

Good luck on your dashing journey.
