25 days of strange symptoms

[kathryn79]

Someone please help! I suffer from chronic headaches and have had strange episodes where I either become weak and cannot feel my body or carry my weight or have insane pressure in my head and neck with strange sensations. I have had this for the last 6-7 yrs on and off and have seen a nurologist who did nothing for me but checked my reflexes and told me to stop taking asprin(which i tried). I have lost the curve in my neck as well and visit the chiropractor three times a week( has not helped much). About 25 days ago I had a pain in my neck when I turned my head. A few days later the pain left and I felt like my neck muscles were very tight(which they always are) I also had inflammation in this area going into my head.A clicking sound was also happening with movement or pressure(standing, lifting). I could not turn my head and only could look at everything at eye level. If I did anything like bending down, dressing myself,or going to the store, I would have a major flare up that would completely debilitate me and I would have to leave or get help with what I was doing. My husband started having to dress me, bath me and everything else. I thought I had some kind of injury from coughing from the cold I had previously so I put heat and ice on throughout the day. The heat calmed things down temporarily  until I moved again. I also noticed it would get better in the evening and while I slept. I thought it would go away but it didn't. I started feeling like the layer under my skin at the back of my neck was pulling when I turned my head. i would  feel it also at the back of my head, back of my ears and into my cheeks, kind of like it feels when you have a clay mask on and open your mouth. I went to the doctor and he said i strained my neck and gave me meds for the inflammation and buscopan which was meant to help to relax the area. (buscopan is actually for IBS) None of it is helping and his reasoning for using the IBS meds is because it also helps with the neck. I think thats a crock and he should have just given me one that does one specific job.I tried to tell him that my muscles aren't sore and Im not having any spasms and that it feels like something else but he didn't listen.anyways, $100 later it is now getting worse and I am experiencing different symptoms. The tight neck muscles(above my shoulder) dont feel tight anymore but now for the last many days it is constant, even at night and when I wake up. I have not gone anywhere and have just sat around with little movement. The symptoms listed next are always there and have been there for the most part: clicking in my neck, tight, tearing feeling under my skin when I move my head in any direction that spreads to the back of my ears, head and cheeks(feels like I have something on my face), burning. With that I get flare ups on and off  with intense pressure in my head (like someone one pulling a rubber band which causes me to feel paralyzed), cold right hand, cold feeling running through right arm and into top of right back with tingling. followed by extreme weakness in arms, numbness in skin on the back of neck into back of head,pins and needles jumping around from hands, small area on lft leg, top back, cold feeling in leg muscles(had only once), heavy legs and body(yesterday, could hardly walk), paralyzed feeling for about 15-20 minutes at a  time., sharp pain running through my neck into head(about 3 seconds long), headache. I keep going to the chiropractor to get very light adjustments (with activator) but nothing is changing. I feel useless and sad that i cant go christmas shopping for my daughter or help around the house. I cannot believe how long this is lasting and how nothing is changing but getting worse. I am afraid I have some horrible disease and the doctors wont help! I was thinking maybe I need an MRI to see if I have nerve compression but that does not explain the ripping feeling under my skin ,clicking or occasional pain in the neck. I just tried ice and it made me so stiff and worse. if anyone knows what this might be please let me know asap. I feel very scared and alone. Thanks

Hi
Welcome to the MedHelp forum!
You definitely have some problem in the neck which along with the symptoms of neck pain and rippling, also cause symptoms of nerve compression. This can happen due to overuse of computers, work involving straining of neck, herniated disc, canal stenosis, bone disease (of the vertebra), spondylosis, poor posture, abnormal neck curvature (scoliosis, herniated disc, collapsed vertebra etc) etc. A MRI of the cervical spine and nerve conduction studies may be required. Please consult a neurologist. The treatment is to remove the compression. You have to discuss the best treatment option with a neurologist, which can range from medication to physiotherapy to traction, cervical collars or even surgery. Take care!

This sounds similiar to lyme disease. I have some of the symptoms you are experiencing.

Try this.

Try this:

Start by taking 1/4 teaspoon sea salt with a 500 mg tab. of Vit C on day one(this is one dose). Day two take (2) doses...day 3 (3) doses and so forth until dose (6). And keep note of what happens to your body good or bad. Then get back to me and let me know. Make sure you take plenty of water throughout the day. Make sure you also spread out each dose each day. 2-3-4 hours apart depending on haw many doses you take.

This should help

you really need to seek a doctor ... may i ask do u believe in healings from JESUS ? I suffered from migranes and one day He healed me . I had suffered alot and it would take away my ability to take care of my baby . The devil is a liar and he has come to kill steal and destroy everyone that he can . So all i am saying is if you believe in healings and JESUS , then let me know and we can attack the DEVIL . The word says where there is two or more gathered in my name , THERE HE MAY BE ALSO .And Our GOD is the only one who HEALs . so i ask that u pray about it and let me know .Take care .
