I feel kinda nuts suspecting ms.
But I’ll give a slight run down of what I have been dealing with.
I have chronic back pain. No injury or trauma. I don’t think this is necessarily related to possible ms, but it’s a large part of my life and what I deal with.
Adbo and lower spine mri mostly normal. Spot on liver that is begnin. Some lower back stuff but nothing that corresponds to my pain.
Ct enterograpthy came back normal except for liver but MRI cleared those concerns.
I get head pain. A lot. Not a headache, I headache is a full all over head throb. But I get head pains. Small. Mostly in the back of my head or sometimes behind my eye. They last for days on end but don’t respnd to headache meds. I never mentioned this to any doctor because I assume its normal. ( maybe it is/isn’t)
I have numbness often in my hand/arm. I have restless legs and numb legs some days. Some times for like a few days at a time I feel like my legs were hit by a bus. They are tight and hurt to the touch. I walk, but I walk awkwardly. And I can feel every single step. My hand recently went numb and I had what can only be explained as restless leg syndrome in my lower arm. For 6 hours in the middle of the day. This sent me to the ER because I had about a million twitches and spasms and couldn’t stop moving my arm, because it had to move and also the involuntary twitching makes me uncomfortable. I still have 50% loss of feeling in my half my hand. Its only been 3 days. But most of my loss of feeling has either lasted less time or not resulted in other unpleasant symptoms.
One of my eyes has been bright red for a month. No pain. But slightly blurry vision.
I have been seeing most things and a blur for a few years. If I could explain it it would be like seeing a lamp post and a half, but seeing a lot of things seems ok, some things I strain a lot. Ophthalmologist blew me off in 2011.
I am doing an apprenticeship for hairdressing. I drop things a lot. More than most people. Its hard for me to get my hand to cooperate. To make my fingers move and squeeze together, to manipulate tools. I laugh it off but its odd. I was a make up artist before and I am used to my fine motor being dead on.
I also have lots of tremors. Not all the time but my hands and legs shake at times. My body feels fine and I feel ok but I simply shake.
As for fatigue. I have that. But I am a single student mother and haven’t known rest since before I got pregnant.
Anyways if anyone could let me know if its completely off the wall to even question this or I should ask the neuro im seeing in the new year to investigate this. ( seeing the neuro for the lumbar MRI, and hopefully will have MEG done on hand by then, as per loss of sensation in my hand)
Thanks and sorry if im way outta line.
Also all blood work came back normal. Nothing flagged as high or low. I supplement magnesium (300 mg a day) because it helps me sleep/ get my muscles to chill out, but im not deficient. I tried D but it made me feel crummy. I was taking about 4000iu a day. I also take a multi B but not on the regular. It gives me vitavom. (vitamin vomiting)
thanks for any input or suggestions.
