weakness and contracture

I have dysautonomia and have intermittent spasticity and weakness in arms and especially legs. I sometimes get contracture in my hands.

Today, I woke up to it all! My arms and legs feel like lead and jelly at the same time, My arms are too weak to hold up and it was hard to drive or grip the steering wheel. My hands are contracted. I am lightheaded.

I am in the process of looking for new doctors. so I don't even have a doctor to call. Is there anything I can do besides suck it up and wait for it to go away?
thank you

thanks, Karein.
I didn't know if they would give fluids w/o another doctor ordering it. I don't go to the ER often, but I know they can quickly label people as crazy or drug seeking.

You can always go to the emergency room and get meds there and ask for a referral to a doctor close to you. I hope that you get to feeling better.
