I am female, 45, and my symptoms started about 6-8 weeks ago. They got worse for 3 weeks, and are now subsiding. It started with tingling/pins & needles on my face, scalp, right arm and legs. I also get sharp, electric shock-type pains all over my body. These shocks cause a strong jerking of my stomach muscles, but the jerks also happen without the shocks--sometimes I jerk in response light and sound. This only happens when I'm wide awake. At first, I would jerk hundreds of times in an evening, but now I get just a few jerks a day. I've had 6-8 episodes of dizziness that came on fast, lasted 1-2 min, but left me feeling out of it for several hrs. Fatigue has also been an issue. Being outside on a hot day greatly exacerbates the fatigue, but doesn't seem to worsen any of the other symptoms. I also have on-going cognitive issues (memory and word-finding problems). I was pretty sick with West Nile Virus(WNF)2 yrs ago, and the cog. problems started then. Things mostly got better after my illness, and then made a pretty significant comeback these last two months. Also, in the last yr, I've had something happening occasionally with my eyes where for 1-2 sec it feels like my eyes are having spasms, and I can't see anything. I've also had recurring episodes of Scleritis over the last 5 years, and significant, repeated testing for auto-immune problems (RA, lupus, etc.), all of which has always been negative. Does this sound like MS, or are there better explanations?
