schwanomma?

I have severe pain in my head neck shoulders and down my spine, I just recently was in the hospital for having seizures for the first time in my life, multiple seizures within my 9 hr visit to the hospital. I am 29 yr old female. I have been having this pain for about 17 mths. I am getting depressed because the fact that I cant spend time with my husband or kids b/c of the severity of the pain and headaches. I have ringing in my ears, numbness in my hands and feet, very irritable, blurred vision, lack of concentration and difficulty remembering things moment to moment.  Sometimes I have muscle tremors that I will lose control of my hands or leg. I feel lightheaded most of the time like im going to pass out. I dont know what else to do. Please Help!!!

Sorry for your pain. I can totally relate to you. Have you had a Nerologist get a Mri from the top down (all of  your spine)? I was just recently told by a wonderful Doctor who Diagnoised me with Syringomyelia which is a Cyst in my spinal cord and not on it. I had symptoms of a heart attack for 4 years but of course was sent home with nothing wrong. Until I got the right doctor that looked out of the box. Not saying that you have that but its an idea to have him check your spine (inside) and only if you have checked everything else out. I get every symptom that you mentioned almost except the seizers. Look up Syringomyelia or Chiari and or Syrinx they are pretty much all together when you look them up. I also have a girlfriend who is right now in the hospital with Seizers and back,shoulders, headaches with visual migranes and shes been in there for 18 days and they are almost figuring her out and its my Nero doctor :) He'll figure her out. So when he does Ill let you know what came of that too ok. I hope that I helped. Sorry I wrote so much but I can totally relate because I had this for years with  noone who can relate at all. Ill let you know asap

Sorry you are in so much pain. Have you seen a neurologist? If not you need to make an appointment with one. Have any tests such as a MRI been ordered? If not you should get a MRI. Hope this helps, achilles2
