Hi all,
Symptoms began 3 months ago suddenly, heaviness in right arm, headaches at base of skull everyday, right side of face is in spasm, ringing in ears and feeling like they need popping, roof of mouth is numb, lightheaded, dizzy. Saw GP who ran bloods, just showed low b12 and very low iron, both of which I have now been taking as supplements for 2 months, although all symptoms are persisting. Tried OTC meds for headaches, no use. Tried migraine meds, no use. Prescribed tramacet by a emergency doc who refused to give a ct scan, saying that I did not have a tumor, no use.
I am now on 30mg of amitryptiline daily to try and reduce my anxiety and help me to sleep, which is has in part. I have been referred to a neurologist, but have been waiting 8 weeks and still no appointment. Scheduled for a ct scan on Monday morning and I am terrified of what they are going to find. I have a 2 yr old daughter and desperately want to see her grow up into a woman, I look after her every day and my health is affecting my capability to do so.
The headache and the anxiety has turned me into an irrational mess and just wanted to hear what you guys thought might be wrong and if there are any other paths I could take? I am also seeing an RMT and a nucca chiropractor to try and relieve the stress and tension.
