Cretique Gollie final revision time line

[gollie]

HI all:
here is a final revision, of 2 major episodes i have been concerned with.
It looks great printed out on paper and dates and notes are highlighted.
I am doing a sepreate symptom list time line.  but I  wanted to get this
out of the way with the doc first, as it scares me alot! So what do you
all think!!!

I hope this post doesnt get all split up like my last one did.

History/Symptoms:   I have many other symptoms , which are listed on attached  page. I have written only a history below as to the things that  Seem more urgent and have been concerning me greatly for sometime now.

August/2005   I started to get blurring in my eyes; it looks like I am underwater and everything is wavy looking. At that moment I Will feel the top left part of my lip start to get tingling then the tong will go numb. Then I get an overall body feeling that I will fall if I try to move or walk. I will just stand still and hold onto something until it passes after about a minute or two. Then I'm fine.
This will go on threw out the day maybe 5 to 6 times per day and will sometimes last 3 to maybe 6 days and then it disappears for about a month and comes back a month or so later.       (I will have it again for a few days).

December/06  6th episode  (I started to get a new symptom with it). After all of the above things would happen, my upper legs would get a very strange sensation in them almost a weakness feeling.  My legs did not feel like they would hold me up for long, but never actually give out on me either. At the same time I notice the tingling in my lip started to change sides sometimes.
NOTE As time went on with these episodes, I started to notice that:  the time in between episodes would get to be about 2 to 3 months apart.

February/07 NOTE I noticed the Tingling on and off, all the time in different parts of my face and scalp both sides, more so on left.  And my tong will still go numb on and off a few times a week.  (Residual symptoms that do not go away anymore).

August/07 was the most recent episode it lasted for about 5 days.

There are never any harsh types of pain involved with the above episodes.
………………………………………………………………………………………………………..
May/07 NOTE NEW SYMPTOM I had developed some kind of muscle or nerve twitch inside my left ear. It is on and off and can last up to an hour at a time.  I can feel the movement inside my ear and head and it also causes irritating clicking noises.  This just happens a few times a month or so.  And does seem to happen independent of the above episodes.
Again no types of real pain involved
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………...
July 07 I started to get a new kind of episode:  I started to get throbbing sharp pain in my head, right side near ear but deeper inside head. (three to four quick sharp jabs of bad throbbing pain in a row.  This would happen on and off threw out the day for about three days. Then completely stopped.

Sept 3, 2007 I got a second attack of it. Identical to the first, except on the third day the pain hit so very  bad that my vision just went completely black for 1 to 2 minutes and I was doubled over a chair holding on till the pain subsided.  (Sept 5, 2007) That is the day got sent to the hospital ER by my PCP to be checked for meningitis, with an LP. (no meningitis was found).  On the fourth day once again the pain was completely gone. It has not returned as of yet.

                                             Hope to hear from ya all          All My Best Gollie

Hey Gollie,

With your head shooting pain symptoms, did they do a CT to rule out Cerebral aneurysm?  Do you have a history of Hypertension or Diabetes?  Those shooting pains can be from a venous spasm in the cerebral vessels. VERY DANGEROUS!  That leads up to a stroke.  Get that checked out. The rest sounds like TN to me but I'm a LIMBOLANDER with no real knowledge so we'll wait for the smarter people to respond :)
