Hi, I know it has been a while since this was posted but maybe, I will get lucky and you will read this, I have been having strange symptoms for 2and a half years now, it started 6 months after having my baby, First let me just tell you iam a hypochondriac and have been through a lot of stressful situations in my life, The first symptom was dizziness when I was in the grocery store then a couple of days later I could not remember anything, iam a paramedic and I told my partner that I did not even feel like myself ,and I was worried that I was getting early memory loss, then I was on a call and the firefighters slammed the door to the house of the pt and this jolt of like electricity went through my body, then I started with muscle twitching all over every sec a new twitch my calfs felt tight like I had worked out real hard and my hands hurt and I had numbness and tingling in them and my feet I even dropped a bottle of wine in the grocery store and I did not even feel it fall out of my hand, my hands would feel like they were electric and I once even thought I was being electrocuted , my muscles felt tight, heavy burning, throbbing , my nose would twitch for 2 weeks straight then it would move to my lip and that would twitch for weeks, but during this time my all over body twitching was still there, I was so scared was not sure what the he'll was wrong, the symptoms would get better for about a week or even 2 then they would like get worse again , I had such brisk reflexes I could not have my elbows on the table because if someone put their glass on the table to hard my arms would jump up in the air, if I put my arm to tard down on my legs my leg would fling up, Went to 2 neurologists normal everything, but I did also have brisk reflexes I had blood work. , emg,, MRI all normal neurologist said I had no problems, then after that all my symptoms went away for 14 months then when my mother in law died, I got real stressed out then I noticed I was having a hard time moving my left hand like it had been on ice, then the next day memory problems twitching all over stiff ,heavy, weak feeling muscles, numbness and ringing in arms legs , head and even lips, I wax even tested for lupus and it was neg, I was so upset because I thought what ever I had before was gone but now it's back, it is stress overload and then the brain turns on the fight or flight response says on, I also had bad eye floaters and one pupil was sometimes larger than the other, I found out from my doctor it's fibromyalga , they have all these symptoms and they come and go, and you can go a long time without symptoms then you can have a flairup from even just cleaning the house to much or a stressful situation all the way to just getting your period, my symptoms seem to get worse before my period, Hope this helps, I also would love to here a response from you since I find few people with all these symptoms .

YESS most definitley i almost cried reading your post becasue i have the exact same thing. It is definitley stress and anxiety and I even went tto the ER because i was so freaked out and everything came out negative. i went to the eye doctor because i was afraid i had a brain tumor from the constant headaches and pressure and heaviness.....NOTHING!!! Everything was negative. I had full blood count tests run and it was negative. I would suggest seeing a counselor or something because that works wonders trust me!! But i will ask.. do you ever feel pressure on your head?? Also I know exactly what you mean by brain fog and dizziness I feel it all the time and im afraid im gonna fall over but i never do so yea...It is awkward how anxeity works because you would never think it would have so many symptoms but it goes away and then comes back. It went away for a week and I thought I was done with all the anxiety nonsense and then this week it came back and im soo pissed!!!!! I keep thinking I have something serious and i have nothing!! Its hard to tell myself its nothing when i keep thinking i might be having a brain tumor or aneryrism or something serious. the worst part is i cant have anymore tests run because basically ive had every test run possible. I feel like i cant concentrate constantly and its soo agravating. I was so glad to see someone else is going through the same thing. My parents think im physco and i just want it to go away. My counselor suggested medicine but idk if its such a great idea.. But anyways ik how you feel and ive pretty much been to every doctor possible and have every symptom you have so if you have any questions or wanna talk just let me know!!!!
