Hi All,
I have been complaining about neck and throat ache for the last 2 years and have had an endoscopy and an ultrasound on my thyroid both to come back with nothing apart from GERD which i take medication for daily ( omeprazole )
I have had muscle spasms twitches in my body since i got massively worried I had HIV almost 5 years ago and get them still on the od occasion particularly when im worried or scared. Recently I have felt like i've had slight weakness on the odd day in my arms/forearms so I went back to the docs who said we can take another blood test and send you for an MRI of the throat. My blood test came back all normal expect for Creatine Kinase which was slightly raised apparantly. Since I have googled what this could potentially be i have been an absolute wreck, can not concentrate on work hot and cold flashes in my body and my arm dull ache and slight weakness is still there particularly in my left hand however i find when i do stretches or exercise this aching goes away. My doctor has reffered me to a neurologist muscle expert as he can see that I am clearly worried, however he has advised me not to worry at all. As he seems to suspect that symptoms would progress from 1 week to another quite quickly. I have had my heart checked before ie ECG and Echo and that came back fine. I must also mention that when im playing sport at the moment im getting this hot flashes over me from my chest upwards. I just dont know what to do with myself. I also keep testing my arms to look out for any abnormalities and my legs. Please can someone advise.
