Lyme, MS or what?
Okay I've had some of these symptoms all my life but have gotten worse and some are new.
Symptoms include but are not limited to:
Stiffness of joints, back, neck (rarely)
Muscle pain or cramps
Burning or stabbing sensations in the body
pressure in the head
Weakness or partial paralysis/stroke-like symptoms
Lightheadedness, wooziness
Sudden jerking of fingers or entire limbs
Unexplained weight gain, loss
Unexplained fevers (high or low grade)
Continual infections (sinus, kidney, eye, etc.)
Symptoms seem to change, come and go
Increased floating spots
Over sensitivity to light
Flashing lights
Ringing in one or both ears
Heart palpitations or extra beats
Mood swings, irritability, rage
Memory loss (short or long term)
Confusion, difficulty in thinking, brain fog
Unexplained hair loss
Headaches, mild or severe
Twitching of facial or other muscles
Unexplained menstrual pain, irregularity
Sore throat, hoarseness
anemia
Overemotional reactions, crying easily Too much sleep, or insomnia
Shortness of breath, cough
I have type 2 diabetes, PCOS , allergies and hypertension. Some of the symptoms started when a doctor switched me back and forth from different antibiotics for a month or so. I've had my thyroid test before and what they tested for was fine.
What should I have my doctor test me for?

Hi
Thanks for writing to the forum!
I am sorry to see you suffering so much and equally sorry to say that the symptoms have a very varied presentation. In the present scenario let your diabetes specialist rule out peripheral neuropathies due to diabetes. Also you should test for MS, Lyme’s, BIH or benign intracranial hypertension, compression of nerves high up in cervical spine, Vit D deficiency, Vit B12 deficiency, electrolyte imbalance and hypothyroidism of autoimmune origin like Hashimotos.
Hope this helps. Please let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted. Take care!
