I need help finding the correct word for my body feeling like Jell-o . . .

[Motts]

I am going to the doctor next week and I don't think he will understand my definition of my new sensation . . . I feel like a bowl of Jell-o trying to walk on two legs also made of Jell-o. Hope someone can help me find a better term . . . Sending Hugs - Granni B

I think that is a perfect description. It's probably a vertigo type sensation but the jell-o reference presents a good mental image. I am now imagining a jell-o person walking around

Hi Ron - I had dinner with a friend tonight and bounced this question off of her.

She said it was a perfect description too.

I have had vertigo for years and this feels totally different.

The whole inside of my body feels kind of ____ ??? . . . I just can not put my finger on the right word.

My Jell-0 person is the color Blue . . . I missed out on seeing my granddaughter's competition yesterday. If I had a wheel chair I could have gone . . . I will get a wheel chair and will attend her next event as a Pink Jell-O person. Sending YOU HUGS - Granni B

Good description I'd just add all wobbly. I'm sure the doctor will understand.

Thanks Kenh - I like the word wobbly. At least I feel like I am on the right track now. Hugs - Granni B

Granni just read the other replies and I think they are right. You describe it very well. Wish you all the luck at doctors. Get the wheelchair very soon too as it will get you out safely?

Hugs to you.

Thanks Marie - I now know that I waited way to long to get a wheel chair and that I need to stop trimming trees with my wonderful saw and give it to my son . . . I will also stay off ladders. I have now made a promise to myself to be more careful this year!

Anne back only just from a holiday with my Granddaughter (Tues 21st). The first holiday I've had! Glad I went but don't think I could have managed without her. She will soon be sick to of me!

How are you?

Cheers xx A

I often say that I don’t know where my legs are but I think yours is a great description. Thanks for the new description.

[Motts in reply to Val4521]

Your description is right on . . . and that is exactly how mom used say it - Thanks I had forgotten that. Hugs - Granni B

I like your jello analogy... I like strawberry myself. If the doctor understand that... tell the doctor your legs feel wobbly. I can them bobble wobbles.

WoW - now I have a great selection of words and I will write them all on my note to my doctor. Sending Hugs - Granni B

My guy always said he felt wobbly. I guess "jello" is the same sensation, but expressed better.

[Motts in reply to easterncedar]

Thanks EasternCedar - Wobbly Jell-O Woman - is a great description for my new doctor. I am so glad I found this site - everyone is so helpful. Sending you HUGs - Granni B
