I am a 43 year old female. I have been seen by 4 neurologists in North Carolina and have had many abnormal nerve conductivity tests. The tests were prompted initially due to weakness in my right hand and poor muscle control on my right side. The problem has advanced from my right side to my entire body. I am in physical therapy to help with muscle control and balance. I fall sometimes, but not due to fanting, my muscles from the neck down just go dead. I have had many MRI's that show no problems with my neck. Lately, the weakness has been getting worse and I took a hard fall last week. I now have maybe one day where I feel "ok" out of six or seven. After my fall last week, I had a blood draw done. I was very shocked to find my liver enzymes were highly elevated, my sugar was high as well as my closesterol and tryglycerites. My blood pressure was also "strange" after I fell...180/108 which is very bad. I have always had low blood pressure and had never had a problem with my sugar being high. My liver enzymes were slightly elevated after I was put on Zocor for slightly elevated tryglicerates. The Zocor was stopped, yet the liver enzymes continue to rise and are currently VERY high.
I am confused and things seem to be getting progressively worse dispite going to highly recommeded doctors in NC. I am terribly worried about what my future might hold and have no clue what to, or how to prepare for it. I am sincerely frustrated and desparetly need answers or direction. I am a virtual cripple with no cause and am becoming more and more trapped in my home watching others live their lives.
I am willing to work extremely hard to get better, but I need to know how. Please, if you can help me or steer my in the right direction I would be very thankful.
