my symptons

[Melissa072]

Hi all,

Was just wondering about all my symptons again.

Everyday when I wake up my dizziness is still there, its like my head is being squeezed but without the pain, I get a lot of headaches across my forehead in the afternoon, and when I walk on cement I can hear my steps in my head like I'm a giant.
My ears both have pain in them somedays, and feel like there is water in them some days. G.P. said my ears are fine.
My tingling returns in the heat in my feet, always in the same spot, as well as my hands.
I burn all over my body only lasting for a few seconds then it goes.
In the morning when I'm in the kitchen making school lunches for 3 kids my back and both arms burn like they have been coated with deep heat, but if I'm hot at the clothes line in the sun they don't burn.
Under both feet are still numbish.
Everyone of my symptons have affected me bilaterally.
The face pain was bilateral and lasted about 6 weeks 2 years ago, and was a constant burning and aching pain.

The most annoying though is the stupid head pressure feeling and dizziness in my head.
If I turn my head it worsens, but now have mastered that if I focus my eyes on something when I turn my head it helps and the dizziness is not so bad.
I feel like I'm squinting my eyes all the time, due to the feeling in myh head.
And for the last couple months I have had either tingling or burning in my mouth and lips, I think it feels like tingling but then some days it feels like my lips are burning, so maybe it could be a bit of both. But whatever it is it moves around my mouth really fast, it could be on the tip of my tongue, then the middle, then I can feel it in the back of my throat, or on my lips.
I suffer with absolutely no fatigue, and am always full of energy. If we go into the city, I can walk around the shops and do what I have to do all day at a fast pace. I do get the tingling in my feet but walking helps with not feeling it, and I mostly feel it when  I stop, the burning in my back and both arms comes when I'm walking around too.

My 3 mri's of brain and thorac and cervical have all been clear, and I have had a negative L.P.  also

I have been told of my neuro that we don't get Lyme here in Australia, but has since read we can but it would be very rare, and I will be asking my neuro again about it when I next see him.

Does this sound like ms to you guys, I'm so sick of being in limbo........

Whether it sounds like it or not, nobody can diagnose you but your neuro!  Sorry...  

But the good news is that you're not having problems with fatigue.  Fatigue is a red flag for MS sufferers - I would say the majority of people with MS have it.

But does the fatigue come in early ms, or can it come later??????????

Hi.  Don't put too much weight on my words as my experience is limited.  I personally know a handful of people with MS.  Every one of them had fatigue when diagnosed.

For me, it was fatigue that caused me to seek medical attention.  Other symptoms came later.  

This would make a great poll.  I wonder if I could figure out how to make one up.
