Hi All
history
I am 33 years old singal mum of 3 girls. I had isolated pain of rib pain like painfull hug 6 yrs ago then nothing till Jan 2007, eye pain jerking eyes failed eye test at dr sent to neuro MRI done of brain and c spine. May 2007 go back as full body spasms from my face to my toes relentless (just had my 5th bout of that and 3 rd bout of painfull hug) so have LP negative then right hip goes numb so do pelvis MRI this only shows bulging disks at L4/5 and S1, refered to rheumy on NHS i am in the UK he says cant find what is wrong but not fibro, so i live it till 2008 when i go private ( somebody paid) and this rheumy said i had fibro took every pill, intensive physio,hydro (made me ill hate hot water or sun makes me ill yet i used to sit in it for ages now i get flu like and weak. get a rash over my nose and checks like sunburn but not.
go with dx of fibro for a year but in Jan 2009 another bout of the muscle spasm the rib hug and then a mth long on and off vertigo bout, off balance pressure behind boths eyes they take it in turn lol and a headache ( never suffered from them before) and other weird sensations that i just cant put down to fibro, so i end up in A&E or ER as you call it for the vertigo feb 5 th 2009 and he gives me full neuro work up and says i have hyper reflexes which i never had before on all my tests and write to dr as i have r sided numbness that comes and goes and tells her i need to see neuro, i believe i prob do have fibro i have neck,back and hip pain and IBS which all match but i also feel i have something else my r side so weak i am regisered disabled and cant work now and spent nearly all this year so far in bed!!! with flare after flare that why i am being retested with MRi and also going to an ENT next week, i posted on the MS site and somebody there said to check out the lyme community as my sx seem simular to that, my dr nevr tested for lymes and i cant remember ever being bittian except in the south of france when i was 13 and reacted bad and took 1 mth to heal but i cant see that related, so do we get ticks in england that carry lymes?
I have been to south of france,spain,calafornia,florida and miami and montana could i of been bittian then dont remember it.
any advise would be greatly received.
