Hi. I am new here and have to admit I really don’t know what is wrong with me. Back in January I had an episode where I had an awful headache, dizziness and confusion. My GP referred meto A&E where I was told I may have had a lacunar stroke. I was not admitted as there were no beds available and I am my husbands carer so t 10 pa the Dr said I could go home. A few days later I was called back for a head ct scan and also had a dollar scan of my neck and an ecg. I then saw a consultant who said nothing had shown up on the ct and referred me for an MRI. This showed up a couple of lesions on my brain. Since then I have had a tilt table test and some OT assessments and seen a physio.
I get tired very quickly. I have an almost permanent headache to varying degrees and am always dizzy. Sometimes es worse than others. I have tingling in my finger tips which can go down through my fingers and I now have tingling on the soles of my feet which sometimes creep up to my knees. I get a numbness in my right forearm and my grip is not always good. I have started getting tingling all down my back and I get the most tremendous ache type pain in the back of my neck. My balance is not good, my legs feel wobbly most of the time and although I haven’t fallen over I have to put my hand out to steady myself. My consultant won’t tell me anything. All I know is that I am still being treated as if I have had a stroke but I don’t tick all the boxes for a stroke and it may be something else but they are not saying. Did I mention my memory is shot away too. Is it worth having any further tests because I am made to feel I am wasting everyone’s time
