However I am being brought down by the following issues seriously affecting my quality of life (sorry for the long list, I appreciate your time and feedback!!). I am aware mild forms of MS also don't always show up on CTs or MRIs, but this is crippling and Celiac has been ruled out. I doubt fibromyalgia because the pain isn't the main issue, mainly muscle paina dn weakness/cognitive/dizziness that's affecting me the worst.- Migraines from early teens, increasing in frequency to about monthly, slight headaches almost daily (advil)
- Had CT for these in ’10 & ’11 as they were extreme, non-contrast and nothing showed
- Recently starting to get random spasms with them
- Periods of near-constant dizziness (not vertigo) started in ’09, lasting for weeks/month+. Goes away and comes back
- Recently dizzy periods worsening and accompanied by unexplained, daily nausea
- The nausea is HORRIBLE. I rarely vomit, but it is literally from the moment I wake up to go to bed
- Inner-ear and cerebellar problems ruled out by ENT and audiology
- ’09 started getting sharp pains down neck and back, especially during dizzy times
- Numbness, stiffness esp. Very easy to lose feeling/circulation. I get very cold, especially hands and feet
- Often get sensation of skin being very sore to touch, tender like I’ve been beaten up
- Feel very fatigued, increasingly. Very happy and energetic mentally but body stopping me
- Started getting wobbly at work and in school clinical
- Camping 2012- was very dizzy and tired/nauseated and woke up one morning constantly vomiting, whole body slowly went numb up to my face- undiagnosed
- Summer 2013- first time working hard out of school. Really noticed an increase in wobbly/weakness/dizziness. Collapsed one day from sheer weakness/exhaustion. Muscles all cramped and spasmed again. Cardiology found two murmurs and bedside echo showed leaky valves.
- Formal echo showed nothing indicating a reason for symptoms. Carotid bruit to be investigated. Was told to see neurologist but cardiology did not give referral
- Started thinking heart palpitations and chest pain may be nerve pain (considering left-sided issue)
- Recently strength has decreased and mild tremor. Severe migraines over Christmas with even worse nausea and dizziness than before, pain and difficulty lifting left arm (weakness/pain)
- Feel cognitively “foggy” when symptoms exacerbate, difficulty concentrating and memory lapses (will repeat myself or not notice what someone is saying, short term memory sucks)
- Jerky movements, just slight, in hands/face/feet (keep dropping things), flinging pens
- My legs get very weak, they begin to bow at times
- stress urinary incontinence when symptoms flare up
- Eyesight is depleting rapidly, not as sharp
- Decrease in symptoms for several months but still very fatigued and weak with random shooting pains, dizziness does not entirely go away. Lately the pain is more muscular and long-lasting
- Over Christmas, increasing extreme dizziness with constant whooshing sound in head. Couldn’t lay flat as it felt terrible. Accompanied by string of extreme migraines.
- Again very lively and happy but this is putting a damper on my spirits and seriously affecting work
Any feedback on if this could be MS, I know you can't diagnose on here but honestly, I just want SOMETHING to go on. I'm tired of being told it's all in my head...
