Numbness, burning, itching and tingling. I'm very scared

[abitscared21]

I am a 21 year old girl and I have not yet seen a neurologist or had an mri but am on the waiting list to do so. I have had burning, tingling and numbness moving around various places on my body for a few weeks now. I've also had pain above my eyes, normally just in left, but sometimes both and slightly 'cloudy' vision (though my optician says its perfect) I am suffering with aches and pains in my limbs, mainly at night and odd twitches and spasms in my legs and feet (though this isn't all the time) I am really very scared that I have ms and all this waiting and not knowing is the worst part. I'm not able to concentrate on all my work cause i'm so worried. Can anyone give me some reasurrance or just ideas on how to take my mind off all of this untill I know for sure? Thanks.

Hi,

I am a 28 year old male that has been having around the same feelings that everyone has been discribing.  It all started a little over a year ago, with a bloody nose on my wedding night.  Then it went to me feeling light headed and numb with a cold sweat thoughout my body.  That went away for a few days then I came down with this pressure in the top part of my head that slowly worked its way down to the front of my forhead.  A lot of off balance feelings, like I was on a boat or rocking back and forth.  So I went to the hospital and had a cat scan done.  They found nothing.  I went to my dr. and told him I thought it was a tumor or something bad.  He said not to worry and that if I continued to have these feelings that he would send me to have a MRI done.  Which in turn I had done, they found nothing.  I was sent to see a Neourolgist and he looked over my MRI and said no tumors or signs of stroke nor Clots or anything like that.  So he sent me to have this test done called an MRV, which is almost the same as an MRI.  THat also came back negative for nothing.  ALl my symtoms had seemed to disappear around this time also, but within the last month or so I've started getting this pressure again in the top part of my head that moves down into my forehead and behind my eyes.  Almost like a burning feeling sometimes, or like I've got a sharp ***** in the cornor of my eye.  Almost like my brain is bleeding.  Sometimes I have feelings in my head like I have little bubbles moving and popping in my head.  Also sometimes I feel like someone has stuck their fingers in my brain and split my brain into two pieces.  I'm scared of what it is cause no doctor can pin point anything except stress or tension headaches.  Gave me medication that does not help.  Can you always have tenision like that that lasts for days and goes away for weeks at a time?  I've had no loss of vision or fainting or anything of that sort.  Please help!

Hey heather

How did the scan go? I suffer from anxiety too, so maybe thats where some of my symptoms are coming from too?! Cause im still suffering the burning i keep wondering whether i should have gone for an mri. The neurologist said he didnt think it was necessary but i cant help but wonder if i should have gone just for my piece of mind *sigh*
I just wanna be all normal again, know what i mean?!

Hey Hun,
Im so glad !!!! to here you don't have anything serious sweety..yayyy!! I guess you feel relieved ..ey!!?!
My MRI is on the 17th,, but i've been doing alote of reasearch..and i think that the sensations im feeling + the abnormal CT could be linked to OCD (anxiety disorder)
I've suffered from this anxiety disorder all my life and i researched that the sensations im experiencing can be cause by anxiety, also that people with OCD have significantly less white matter on the left side of there brain.. I really hope that it is caused by the OCD, so that i can just work on it, and get better. I'll let ya' know!!
take care hun

Hey Heather
Sorry its been awhile, I've just been to so many doctors and things over the last few days its been a nightmare. Saw the neurologist though and he examined me thoroughly and said I do not have MS, that it is a very nasty virus going around my body that went to my nervous system. I am very relieved. So I won't be going for an mri. I still feel dreadful, but at least I know I've just got to let it take its course. Got to have 3 blood tests tomorrow though and am on IBS tablets for the stomch pains...not sure if I mentioned those before, but thats been going on for 5 weeks too!
How you doing hun? When's your mri? 17th?
