I am male and was in good health, 160 lbs. Two months ago I went down to Mexico for a few days. On the trip, over 6 or 7 hours I consumed 9 drinks. I was with several friends who were with me the whole time and said I was conscious and talking normally. I do not recall some things like how I got home. I would estimate I was in the blackout state for 2 hours. I do not typically drink that much and have not blacked out since my 20's.
That night both arms felt tingly, numb, and a burning sensation. I also had loss of coordination in my fingers. The next day I had tinnitus, vertigo, and nausea. I also would jump awake any time I started to sleep.
I also was awake for 40 hours due to flights home being delayed and canceled. After about a week the symptoms started to improve.
However my arms got burning and tingly again. It then spread to my legs and my face. After a week the tingly stopped but the numbness stayed and a terrifying sense of lack of coordination feeling in my arms and legs. This affects walking and navigating stairs. It is sometimes difficult to type on a keyboard.
I also started to have autonomous symptoms with my heart rate and blood pressure changing drastically when sitting to standing. My digestion of food is impacted. My mouth is dry and I have to urinate frequently.
At night I have muscle twitches and spasms. I can also only sleep 3 or 4 hours and wake pouring sweat and often with heart palpitations.
I now suffer with environmental overload in crowded places. And cognitively I feel impacted at work I am not as efficient as I was before solving issues.
I have been to 5 doctors along with a neurologist and a cardiologist.
I have had tests for inflammation, lyme, west nile, lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, some type of gravis, heavy metal toxicity, a full drug panel, metabolic panel. ANA TITERS which came back weak positive 1:40 speckled. I had an emg an ncv study on my right arm and leg which was normal. I had an MRI of my brain and spine which was normal. I was tested for parasites and that was negative. I am waiting in a 48 hour heart monitor test result and will have a eeg next week. All tests normal. The symptoms and lack of sleep are impacting my job and family. My muscles are so weak I can barely lift my children. I am headed to Mayo but that is a ways off. My fear is I didn't drink enough water and the alcohol concentration toxicity damaged my brain controlling cognition and motor function. I also had some blisters from sun burn on my shoulders where i missed applying sun screen. I never passed out or vomited after the drinking which I thought I would have if I was at toxic levels . I also have not had any fever or diarheia with these symptoms.
Please help if this has happened to someone else
