Symptoms that don't add up
by feebee630, Oct 15, 2009 08:40AM
Please help! I'm a 25 yr old female. Very worried about my symptoms and have no answers yet. I went to a neuro who performed EMGs in which everything came back normal. She suggested I go see a neuro in a big hospital but no one will accept my insurance. Here's my short story:
In April of this year I was very fatigued and had vertigo and in bed for most of the time for 2 weeks. I had blood tests which showed thyroid antibodies so my PCP said it was a thyroid infection. In July I started getting vertigo that was pretty bad at times and would make me nauseous. I went back to the PCP who said it could be BPPV. During late August I started getting all over body/face fasciculations that are still present till this day. The vertigo is still coming and going. I also have some tingling sensations in random places that come and go and have gotten a buzzing sensation under my feet that would come and go. I am heat sensitive and it will cause the vertigo to get worse. I have no weakness. This morning I woke up and felt wetness in my pants. I went to check in the bathroom and it looked like it may have been urine (this is a first time occurrence). I'm worried that all the previous symptoms are linked to the present ones. I'm more worried now because of what happened this morning. I thought everything might be separate occurrences but now I'm hoping it's not incontinence. Do these symptoms sound like MS? I wish I had a definite answer to what is going on with me.

I think you should talk to your dr about incontinence if it happens again. I actually need to do that too, but I have been procrastinating.
Feel better.

MS is a disease of specific lesions on localized nerves.
What you describe sounds "systemic" - that is effects all over. Causes of systemic neurological symptoms would be things like Vitamin deficiency, thyroud disease ( a possibility for you), infections, especially Lyme Disease, and autimmune diseases.
Besides any other testing I would recommend one or two Western Blot tests for Lyme Disease. Lyme is what I thought of as you described your symptoms. But, since you already have abnormalities in your thyroid tests, that rises to the top of the list.
I hope this helps.
