All day my abdominal area has hurt, upper and lower. There s been nausea as well. Just now as I was bathing a severe cramp hit me. I had to quickly sit on the toilet. The pain was severe to the point of giving me dry heaves. I began to have a BM....a lot. As this occurred i began to have prominent tingling and numbness in my arms and legs. Then my hands started contracting and I couldn t straighten them. I felt faint. Began sweating. Felt very weak. All during this awful episode I was having a BM.... Soft not hard or runny. What I want to know is this.... Vagal reaction or TIA. It began to pass when I asked my husband to bring me sugar water.... Why I thought of that i don t know.
