Thinking that I could possibly have MS. I have been displaying symptoms this past year, as follows:
Dec 2022: pins and needles in hands and feet, dull pain in fingers and toes, some mild shooting shock pains going up my legs, eye floaters. Symptoms lasted around 6 weeks.
(Blood tests showed very low iron and B12 - meds prescribed)
Apr 2023: symptoms return, bloods still very low in iron. Symptoms last again around 6 weeks.
June 2023: eyefloters return, eye check shows nothing, possible eye fatigue and new prescription.
Aug 2023: this episode panicked me the most, muscle jerking, nystagmus, eye floaters, some speech disturbance, numbness in upper arms, weird constant tight tingling feeling in lower legs, some hand weakness.
Nov 2023: head jerking
Dec 2023: pins and needles in hands and feet, finger and toe dull pains, nystagmus.
Iron still cery low, will likely take a year of prescribed iron.
First GP was empathetic and stated going down the neurology route. Second GP states it is iron related and could only do a low priority referal which has a 2 year waiting list.
Luckily could book a private neurologist for end of Jan 24.
Hoping for an MRI, but NHS is not in a good place.
Not sure what I am expecting here but needed to share for my sanity.
