Strange Symptoms
Posted: Mon Feb 21, 2005 11:43 am
Hello All,
I just ran across this website when I was researching some symptoms I have been having over the past few months. I will give a bit of history first...
I was DX'ed in Nov 2003 with RRMS after a pretty large attack that saw all my limbs and torso go numb. Most of the numbness has subsided but I still have alot of issues with my hands (Really makes typing difficult).
After getting my DX I found that alot of problems I have had over the years were probably because of MS (I have had Terrible Fatigue for many years).
Anyway. About Oct. of last year I started noticing bad ringing in my ears and what I call "Spiders" in my sinus area. I thought it may be attributed to meds (Currently on Amitriptelene(sp?), Zoloft, and Provigil as well as Copaxone). So I worked with my Neuro to get off all meds except for Copaxone and after a month I was more tired than ever + the symptoms seemed to be worse.
So to make this story short I started all my meds again and am living with the problem.
Its really hard for me to describe the feeling. The only time I have ever felt this way before was when I took too much Antihistamine. Over the past few weeks I have noticed involuntary "twiches" on my forehead and eyelids or the feeling that something is crawling on my eyelids. I have also noticed that my teeth have started to chatter (I find myself clenching my teeth alot now).
Has anyone else had these types of symptoms? If so, What have you done to deal with the symptoms.
I have visited a general practitioner, an optometrist, and an ears, nose and throat specialist. All giving me clean bills of health so I am pretty confident that its attributed to MS. My Neuro told me that I am the first he has heard of with these symptoms.
I do have an appt next week at the MS Clinic in Charlottesville. Hopefully I can find some relief there. But I would like to hear from others that have had these problems...
Thanks
