Thanks for the reply, peekaboo. :) Yes, my MRI was only on my brain. This is because initially, my only symptoms were the fatigue, head pains, and dizziness. Coincidentally, about a month and a half later, I had another MRI of my brain as part of a research study on synesthesia. I'm no expert, but t...

Hi Amanda, and thanks for your reply. I'm sorry to hear about your diagnosis, but at least now you can begin treatment and start recovering! As for the spinal tap, I have actually have two of them done, but for a different reason. My neurologist suspected that I may have a condition called pseudotum...

That is really good information, thanks a lot for the link!

Hmm...
I am hesitant to think that BFS is my answer, because asy ou said, with BFS there is no weakness. But my entire body is pretty much wrought with weakness. From my feet to my fingers to my neck to my eyes.

I'm glad the Aspirin works for you, pinpricks! No medication I have tried, over-the-counter or prescription, has done a damn thing to help with any of my symptoms, including the shock things in my head. Yes, I have taken Klonopin (under the name Clonazepam). About 4 months into my symptoms, when the...

Thanks for the link, I will look into that as well. My pain is thus: The only pain I have is what I can only describe as "shocks" in my head. It has happened a few times on the front right side of my head, but 99% of the time it happens in the same spot, on the left-back side of my head. I...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fibromyalgia http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/fibromyalgia/ds00079 After reading those links, I can see why you would point me to them. The only qualm I have with this idea is that I don't really have much pain (aside from the random head shock things), which is the res...

Hmmm interesting. I'll look into it. Thanks for the reply, pinpricks.

That's what I was looking for - that's good information, Lyon. Thanks so much for listening to me and giving me your feedback. I really appreciate it.

Good questions. I guess I was just trying to be (somewhat) concise. lol. I'm female, aged 26. The symptoms came along, seemingly unprovoked, 6 months ago. Around November 1, 2008. - 17 months before these symptoms started occurring, I had an auto accident. I went to a chiropractor for about 5 months...

Yeah, I know what you are saying. It's nice to have a positive report about my health and my body's condition. I'm not saying that I wish I had lesions showing up on my MRI -- I just wish SOMETHING would show up SOMEWHERE, so I could get some answers. And what you said about starting treatment earli...

Thanks for the reply, Dave. Yes, I had an MRI in the beginning (~4 months ago), and was told that it was normal. I've also had a lumbar puncture. At the time it was under the theory that I might have pseudotumor cerebri, so the LP was to reduce the CSF pressure, not to test the CSF for disease. My d...

Does anyone else have any insight? Am I completely barking up the wrong tree here? =/

Thanks for the help, and encouragement!

Welcome to the site wisher. Ease my mind and ask your GP if your thyroid hormone levels tested OK. Bob Yes, they've checked me for thyroid problems, anemia, mono, heart problems (I do have an arrhythmia), sleep apnea, diabetes, migraines, and pseudotumor cerebri. When the involuntary muscle movemen...
