Where should I go now??

Hi, I`ve posted in the past and have had some more tests done since, so I wanted to ask your opinion on where I should go from here. I started having numbness, tingling, mild intermittent eye pain in the right eye, fasiculations, and tendon tightness in the extremities 9 1/2 months ago, after my 1st baby was born. I seen a neurologist a month after it began. He performed a brain and c-spine MRI which were normal and a nerve conduction test and blood test which were normal, that was 7 mos. ago. I seen a 2nd neurologist after the first one. He did a heavy metal blood test which I think came back normal. He said he would call if anything came up w/ it, and he didn`t. He did a Somatosensory Evoked Potentials lowers test on me, which came back normal also. My symptoms are still w/ me, but slightly better. He said he wanted to monitor me for a while. What do you think I should do now? How would you diagnose me? Thanks....

I am so glad to finally hear others that are suffering from the same symptoms I have. They started about 9 weeks after the birth of my third child. I had a c-section after failure to progress and I also had an epidural. I have burning sensations on the back of my head that sometimes goes down my spine, in my hands, stomach and other extremites. It feels as though vicks vapor rub has been rubbed on them. They come and go and so does the tingling in my hands, I have muscle twitching in my legs, stomach area, neck, tremors in my face and neck. I also feel tightness around my neck and chest area. I have had a Brain Scan, 2-12 lead EKG's, thyroid, diabetes, catecholamines, 24hr creatinine, kidney function and all have come back normal. Now I am beginning to suspect if there is some tie in with child birth. Did any of you receive an epidural or meds while in the hospital? How long ago since the birth of your children? Call it paranoya or whatever but there has to be some tie in some where we all cannot be crazy. And I find it quite peculiar that we have all been found normal from any serious conditions. Please I am tired of all the tests and I haven't seen a neurologists as of yet, but I am sure that all of this is going to turn out normal as well. I will take any suggetions that may help me I am tired of feeling like this.

If each of you give me your email address I'll email eveyone a list of questions to try to find out what we have in common when these symptoms started-  Maybe we can work together to try to find out what's going on.
