Hi. Suffered with back spasms as of last year. In the previous year, i was constantly tired and low. Had thyroid checked, and it was on the low side. Put it down to that. But then since dec, the back pain comes and goes and when its bad its so bad!!! Like i feel sick and nothing will help. Anyway, i get tremors in my legs and twitching in ky head and lip. Tingling arms and hands. Im convinced ive got ms but i just know itll come back nothing wrong with me. I had my back scanned with mri abd showed no reason for the issues. Im seeing neurologist this week. I just feel like im being dramatic but im so down. Ive done a vit of cleaning, and i mean put a few bits away and hoovered, im so tired now. Like out of breath. Ive been so fit and healthy up until a year or so ago. Am i just being lazy? Also, my sleep is awful and past 2 nights im waking up (once i nod off) in pain needing to wee. Im purposky not drinking much so this doesnt happen. But like 3 times during the night!
Well there’s obviously something amiss and you’re not well, so please don’t make yourself feel worse by wondering whether it’s just a bad attitude: of course it isn’t.
It certainly doesn’t sound much like my personal experience of MS either, tbh, but I know nothing about it beyond the narrow limits of my own experience, which is all I have to go on.
I hope that you have a useful consultation.
Thank you. Yeah hopefully something is going to be caught. Its been ongoing for too long. Im so tired. Ive dismissed things due to my back but it doesnt add up.
Hi, have you been checked out for a UTI (urinary tract infection) in relation to waking up in pain needing to pee? If that is OK, any chance of a referral to Urology to check things out there.
Also blood tests for B12 levels, Vit D levels? These can cause neurological symptoms - my husband has low B12 and was convinced he had developed MS like me. B12 injections, and VitD and his symptoms went away.
See what the Neurologist thinks, and be prepared for more MRIs and tests to check everything out.
Yeah no uti and ive avoided drinking late on. Had my mri today. See what it comes back with. Neurologist didnt seem concerned. And during the mri my fave was going crazy twitching!!! Eventually stopped but thats never happened before. I have them every so many years for my piturity. And i had one last month for something else. Im sure its nothing. Just depression, stress and anxiety
