Has anyone ever experienced what feels like a dead arm? For the last 3 days I’ve had limited movement in my left arm as it causes pain when I am trying to reach or just simple movements.

Hoping I’ve just slept funny or something but I’ve got an appointment on Monday so if it’s no better by then I’ll inform my nurse. Thank you for your response.

Like Watchthebirdy, I’ve been on Lamotragine for a few years but never had that problem.... hoping you get it sorted Teri 👍🤨

Thank you for your reply Veteran250, it didn’t last for long so it wasn’t the Lamotrigine after all x

And you too Veteran250. I only got diagnosed in August this year so this all still new to me. It’s refreshing to hear some positivity though I must admit 🥳
