Here's a list of my symptoms. I need to hear some unbiased opinions of what to seek tests for:
- Episodic, lasting from 2-6 weeks+ each
- 4 episodes in the past 15 mos, none less than a month apart
- headaches (unilateral, bilateral, isolated, and all over)
- neck pain
- muscle spasms in neck, back and other isolated, random areas
- numbness/tingling down arm(s) one or both, usu. more on 1 side
- have had excessive fatique and chronic bowel problems 10+ yrs.
- noticed general weakening of muscles over past 6 months
- dizziness/vertigo
- tremors (can see in hands, but feel throughout body)
- buzzing sensations in lower extremeties and parts of arms
- sensitivity to heat starting late spring this yr.
- sensitivity to sounds (sporadically)
- more symptoms have occurred on R than L, but appear on both
There's probably more that I can't remember to mention because the list is so long. Any insight and direction on where to push the doctors would be great! I realize that I am my only advocate and I don't want to leave it to chance that the doctors are covering it all because, after all, this is science -- not math. I am very proactive and need to figure this out so that I can address whatever it is. After searching for over a year now, I am beginning to feel somewhat desperate and panicky due to the fact that my symptoms are increasing in number and intensity as we speak. Thanks to anyone who decides to share. . .
