Dear Doctor
I had two episodes of sudden muscular weakness one in 2010 after I got some infection, a few weeks before I had had unprotected sex with a woman if that was relevant. and was bit by fleas too.
At that time CBC showed anemia, high wbc and high esr (31) I had severe muscular weakness, no pain, no fever, for about a week, I slept for a whole weak till I recovered. all together it lasted a couple of months maybe.
end of 2011, I get another infection, it starts in
September: headache and water leaking from nose
October: i start feeling weak on the legs but I still think it's lack of exercise
December: week-long headache and paralysis/numbness/tingling of the whole right side of the face.
December: my legs start to give out when I climb down the stairs.
it gets worse and worse until March when this strange "flu" finally peaks , CBC shows all wbc are high, including Neutrophils, liver enzymes and Complement C3 is high.
By the time I could do EMG, in May, I was doing a lot better, I could already walk normally but I was still weak on the legs. the EMG was negative but it showed a "remodeled" muscle in one leg where I never had symptoms before 2011.
AFTER the EMG, it started to get my arms, my left arm in particular was weak, sometimes it would tend to "crunch" on itself with stiffness and pain especially in the fingers, it looked like my aunt's arm who had brain ischemia. when it was really bad it would get my right arm too.
the arms and the legs got better when it started to get my heart beat, my heart beat rate slowed down a lot, I would wake up during the night with severe "fatigue" in the heart, and force myself back to sleep.
a Neurologist ordered MRI brain/spine which was negative and they said it was all psychogenic and dumped me.
neck and dorsal are burning a bit, limbs aren't 100% strong, neural/joints pain in the left hand.
is a direct infection of the central nervous system been ruled out and how? what has been ruled out and why?
