Hi - I haven't been here in a really long time. I am not diagnosed and am not seeking a diagnosis because I can live with my symptoms. But I am curious about a couple things. A few months ago I started getting an electric shock in my 3rd toe on my right foot. It's only happened a few times, and each time was after I'd been on my feet for awhile and I was feeling fatigued. It's not really that bothersome, just kind of startled me. In the past I have also had a weak feeling in that leg and wondered if this is somehow connected, or if that electric shock could just be caused by the types of shoes I was wearing (it wasn't the same pair each time it happened). Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Also, a month or two ago I experienced a burning pain on my left forearm. I didn't keep track of how long it lasted, maybe for a few days but I can't really remember. It hurt to touch it and was kind of a raw pain. I also have near constant chest pain. The chest pain started a couple years ago and they did an ekg and my heart is fine. It seems to be happening a lot more now, it's not severe but is kind of like a "stiff neck" feeling in the middle of my chest. I have pain in my shoulders and neck also, and if I stand for a long time sometimes my lower back will ache.
My worst symptom is fatigue, I have to lay down mid-morning to make it through the rest of the day. If I don't take a nap, by 5:00 I'm worthless. I used to do the heptathlon and was always very active, but I've given up exercise because if I do I don't have the energy to take care of my responisbilities.
My sister is having problems similar to mine now, and ms was mentioned to her, so we are both wondering what is wrong with us. She just had an mri w/out contrast and it was normal. She and I have always both been very active with no problems, but I haven't been able to work full time for several years and now she is having problems with fatigue which is highly unusual for her.
I didn't mean to go on so long, mostly I am curious about the electric shock in my toe. Thanks for reading this.
