constant dizziness since June 2007

[Melissa072]

Hi

Sorry, don't know if I'm allowed to post twice in one day.
I am just very frustrated at the moment, still in limbo, but would just like to ask another question.
I've had dizziness since June 2007, I'm sick and tired of it, it's only mild but always there, 24/7 and yes it worsens when I move head, but is also there even if I'm sitting still and not even moving my head.
I'm having repeat mri on brain and whole spine Jan next year on a 3 telsa, and even mentioned the possibility of having ms with dr last week and the dizziness and he told me it would not be due to ms but something to do with the ear...........................
Everyday I have the tingling in feet, particulary in heat, and hands, my face has numbish feel still, under both feet feel numbish, I tingle all in groin and buttocks area, I'm so sick and tired of being fobbed off by drs.
I've been told to go see endo as I have a lump in thyroid, multi nodular goitre, and high levels of thyroid antibodies...
I know my symptons are more ms than thyroid, I've had face pain at least 6 times, only for a few days, then June 2007 the damm thing hung around for  6 - 7 weeks. And I know thyroid problems don't cause tingling in the groin area.
I get burning all over, cold spots, especially under feet like I've stood on an ice cube for a couple seconds.
My hubby has got a new job here, as he's been with  his current job for 20 years so it's time for a change.
We get supplies a house here and now I'm concerned as they come in highset with stairs or a low house.
At the moment there are none available, so its a case of get what comes up next, I'm concerned about moving into one with stairs in case I end up with a ms dx. Am I jumping the gun, or are my feeling justified.
My hubby would like a highset as you have much more room, and due to my mri's being normal and having a neg L.P.  he is not really concerned about the event that I may have ms.
I really don't know how to deal with this at the moment, and don't want to be a 'wet blanket' about his great new job.
I'm just worried if I do have ms, what if one day I wake up and can't use a leg or something..............
Any thoughts would be great, this is really upsetting me big time.............

Hi there,

I don't think we've met yet. Have we?

Well, if we have, then hello and welcome again to you. I'm sorry this has gotten you upset.  It's understandable.  Thyroid can cause so many similiar symptoms of ms.  I'm not saying this is the cause of your problems, but just want to urge you to address this issue.  That way, once the thyroid problems are stable, you will know what you are left with and you can go from there.

It's so very  hard to take these things one at a time when all of your symptoms are on top of each other.  It makes you anxious, angry, confused, and downright tired because you are in a battle w/your body all day.  It's hard to know which way to turn - but you have us now by your side throughout.

I'm glad Sherry (risnerrose) will bump up her thread for you.  I'm sure it will hit the spot.  Please, don't worry about more than one question a day.  That's one less thing you will have to worry about for today - k?

Once you feel a little in control, you will be able to make those decisions that have been eating away at you.

Here to help you sort it out,
be well,
Shell

I asked a similar question a few days ago, and Quix explained it in great detail.  I'll find the post and bump it back to the front page.  

Hope it helps.
