neuro symptoms- toxic causes?

Was wondering if anyone on the board had issues with any symptoms or conditions caused by toxic causes either medicinally or environmentally. And yes i have had lyme testing through igenex.  My symptoms are as follows: equilibrium issues feeling of being on a boat and walking on a trampoline. severe tinnitus, constant heart pounding not rapid though, burning feelings then freezing feelings, electric shock sensations, twitches(not normal twitches more like muscle popping), intense helium head pressure, . the building i lived in was older and had a lot of water leaks and was always being painted and renovated.  i have had a good amount of testing and nothing so far.  any thoughts or ideas.  thanks

I was just wondering the same thing for my self.  Over the past several years I have had dizziness but not really dizziness its like my brain doesn't want to keep up with my head movements, eye problems with focusing, increase of spots some that actually block my vision causing it very difficult to read, dryness.  Also I had painful pinpricks in both my hands, nausea off and on,  fell as if I have the flu and chronic fatigue, tingling in my toes and balls of my feet and now numbness.  The thing that I have the most problem with is the pain in my back, the burning in my legs.  It is impossible for me to walk 100 feet before I start feeling my legs not wanting to work.

My Dr thinks that I might have a herinated disc or maybe ms but haven't done any test because I don't have insurance.  I do have a mold problem at my home.  You could see it on the living room wall.  My husband thinks that by putting kilz on the walls and repainting has fixed the problem but when it rains you can smell it.

I have been reading about toxic mold and am wondering if this isn't some of my problems but I don't think it explains my walking problem.
