Too sleepy / Burning leg/foot Symp kicking in?

I have no diagnosis--only symptoms separated in time, but not location, blah, blah, blah.

I haven't posted in a long while because I felt so good, that I figured whatever was wrong had gone away. Last weekend we had a warm, sunny beautiful spring day. I worked like a dog in the garden and had a WONDERFUL time! Now, suddenly it feels like my symptoms are kicking up again.

1)  I have been feeling very tired lately.
I'm sleeping 8-9 hours per night and still end up taking 1-2 naps per day--usually 3-4 hours long! Is this unusual? It's really interferring with life.

2) The bottom of my left foot started burning and now it's moved all the way up my left leg to my upper thigh. It's not really bad, just a weird burning feeling and it's uncomfortable when my clothing rubs my skin.

I really thought that all this stuff was gone and I could get on with life. Now I seem to be impacted again to the point that I'm having a hard time accomplishing anything. This foot and leg thing makes it hard to walk around, and the sleepiness is ridiculous!

I don't want to see my doctor again, because he told me there is no more to be done until I get double vision or my leg starts dragging. Will this stuff just continue?????

Well, with your new symptoms, it sounds like it's time to visit the doctor again - your unusual fatigue and the burning sensation count as new symptoms.
