My Symptoms

Feb 19, 2008 09:15AM - 0 comments

To date, my symptoms have included (not in any particular order, because that’s too much for my poor brain to handle):

*Electric shock sensations body-wide
*Vertigo spells
*Sore spot on scalp
*Muscle twitches in legs (fasciculations)
*Movement Hesitancy-arms
*Sudden jerks in the legs, ankles, arms and wrists (and once in the neck)
*Clumsiness (dropping things, trouble picking things up)
*Neck pain (like a kink in the neck but lasting weeks or even months)
*Stiff left calf muscle
*Numb left side of my throat and mouth
*Muscle spasms (mild to moderate) in legs, feet, stomach, back and neck
*Stabbing pain through the eyes
*Inability to swallow solid foods for 1 month, and intermittent throat discomfort since.
*Migraines
*Colon infection
*Numb hands when waking up
* Plantar fasciitis (??)
*Weakness in hands and arms
*Sensory issues (small spots of burning, feeling like plastic wrap is covering parts of my body, pin pricks, tingling, vibrating, etc )
*Urinary leaking


To date the tests I have had and their corresponding results are:

Various blood tests (all normal, except the elevated lymphocytes and liver enzymes)
CT scan of brain and c-spine (normal)
Barium Swallow (showed possible esophageal web and ulcer)
Gastroscope (completely normal, despite results from the barium swallow)
MRI of brain and c-spine (clear, I’m told)
Psychological Evaluation (basically ok, although I may be suffering from mild depression, medication not required)
Neck x-rays (showed spasm)
