If I could descibe the exact feeling it's akin to my arm and leg floating in mid-air. While I could walk it was with great difficulty. And after signing my name, the signature was foreign to me.This feeling lasted for about a half hour, then the situation proceeded to the full-blown stroke about 2 hours later. There is some right-sided weakness as a result of the stroke, but my "alien limb syndrome" experience was wild indeed.
