Thank you for the advice I am going for an MRI this week.
Hi there,
Someone mentioned your age, i didnt look at your profile but if you are a younger woman (20-30's) there are a few things that you could look into to talk to you doctor about. I am 24 and have had quite a few health problems with a lot of the same symptoms for 3 years now. All of those things combined could be Fibromialgia, MS, lyme disease or the tingling can be due to neuropathy or herniated discs. I was diagnosed with fibromalgia and lyme disease, am monitored for MS every 6 months as my symptoms continue.
I am not saying any of this to scare you, a journal is the best thing you can do to bring to a doctor. My advice is to make sure your doctor listens, runs tests, and continues to do tests until you feel better or you find an answer. As i said its been 3 years and I am just finding out now i have herniated discs in my spine, which could have been a large part of my problem all along. Good Luck, And dont give up until you get someone to help you get relief.
HI IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU AND I HAVE THE SAME SYMPTOMS AND MY LEFT SHOULDER I KILLING ME RIGHT NOW I HOPE YOU GET SOME ANSWERS AND FIND OUT WHAT THE PROBLEM IS I HAVE BEEN TOLD A BULGING DISC ON MY CERVICAL SPINE AND THAT WOULD CAUSE A LOT OF YOUR SYMPTOMS I ALSO HAVE ISSUES CONCENTRATING I FEEL SOOOO IRRITABLE HERE LATLEY AND I FIND MY SELF HAVING A HARD TIME REMEMBERING THE NAMES OF SIMPLE THINGS LIKE A CLOCK OR REMOTE IT TAKES ME A FEW SECONDS BUT I EVENTUALLY GET OUT WHAT I AM TRYING TO SAY I HOPE YOU FEEL SOME COMFORT IN KNOWING YOU ARE NOT ALONE. GOOD LUCK
i read thru a few of your symptoms & it sounds like it must b hard coping. your age mite also b important. If u visit a good neurologist & he/ she takes a good history from u, i'm sure they cud make a diagnosis & start treatment asap.
some things u can look into:
1)r u on any present meds
2)also try to trace if anything usually triggers an attack
3) does walking/ rest make your symptoms better / worse?
your worsening vision & the pain in eye mite be sumtin u want to c a doctor for - sounds serious, could b anything now.
hope it helps a little. let me kno wats the update
