Last August last year, I started having very weak legs, sweaty forehead and extreme exhaustion. After months of dealing with this i finally went to the doctor. The doctor sent me for an MRI of my lumbar...seens it was just weak legs and throbbing legs after sittting. Nothing showed. I have had no injury to my back or neck. Then weeks later I started to get weak arms, not throbbing like the legs, just very weak. Hard to even wash my hair. So i was then sent for an MRI of my neck...once again nothing. I had a bad bought of Bell's Policy about 6 years ago, and i started therapy of 30 Prentizoid/day. Does this have anything to to with whats going on? I have seen a Rheumatologist whom mentioned Polymyositis and Myesthenia Gravis....but with both those diseases your eyes droop, so much so that you cant keep them open. I dont have that. I sleep 15 hours out of a 24 hr period, because it relieves the pain in my legs. But my back really hurts too. My neck swells, my back kills....between my shoulder blades right down to my hips. I am at a point now where i cant even walk to the end of my driveway....any twisting, lifting, stairs.....just kills me. I feel very light headed, and I cant drink alcohol anymore. I used to have a small bottle of wine with my husband every Fri night, and now i get smashed after 1 glass.....What the hell!!!! I go for a Cat Scan of my brain June 28th, and a muscle biopsy July 9th. Then an EMG after that....but what if nothing shows....i am so scared with these sort of problems, my doctor looks at me like i am crazy with all these new symptoms i get. Am i crazy? What is going on with my body. I went from 6 months ago working 11 hr days, to not being able to bring a load of laundry up my stairs. Any one with any answers out there
