Hi, I hope some of may be able to offer some advise/experience here. I will summarise symptoms as know hard for some reading long posts:
Onset symptoms:
*Double vision, one episode lasting minutes, checked out by optician all ok
*Short of breath, gasping for a breath at times
*Dizzy
*Palpitations.
*Fatigue
*Poor concentration, forgetful
*Lacking focus when looking at writing
Went to GP, bloods done quickly, ferritin and folic acid low, finished first course of iron tablets now
Current Symptoms:
*Vertigo to the point of holding on to things as feel could pass out
-
Poor spacial awareness (i.e when driving lacking confidence in parking, misjudging doorways when walking
-
Leg pain, especially knees, unable to sleep with pain
-
Severe pain in right side under ribs, this may be unrelated as previous gallstone issues
-
Diarrhoea after eating on a number of occasions
*Feeling at night of hand and feet haven’t been in snow/ice then thawing (if that makes sense)
*Sensation of drip running down legs but nothing there
*Exhaustion, today body leaves like lead trying to do anything
*Poor sleep
Tests Done:
*GP consulted with neurologist and he/she requested blood test for rare neurological condition to be ruled out before MRI, awaiting results of this and celiac test
*Thyroid, hormones, kidneys, B12 all ok
I should add that i was diagnosed with ME twenty years ago and was bad for about 5-10 years but would have considered myself well again just sleep affected, tire easier than normal and immune system not 100%, however i worked full time with additional hours, volunteered, was very active running, gym etc and managed a house with two young children. I am now at the point of wondering is this a relapse of ME, a new onset of MS (perhaps the previous diagnosis was inaccurate as no MRI was done at the time), or a combination of issues. Sorry for the long post, anyone experience anything similar or have any advise?
