Hi everyone,
Firstly after reading some of these posts, I can firstly say that you guys are some of the most inspiring person I've come across, you truly are!
I am a 28 year old female!
I'm looking for a bit of guidance as mnd/ all has always been a concern for me! About 4 years ago I had some pain behind my right eye and some blurred vision/ unable to concentrate . I was off work for about 2 weeks and saw a optramologist who couldn't see anything wrong. Shortly after I developed a whole heap of floaters in both eyes and lots of pain in my muscles like I had lumps of lead on my hands and feet. I saw a neurologist and had a brain MRI/ cervical spine MRI and a lumbar puncture - all clear. I then developed a tremor in my right hand which I got very frightened about and started to self diagnose myself with all numbers of conditions (I hate Google!) after this I experienced lots of twitches in my muscles that I felt all over my body, mainly after exercise, I can't see these though when they happen! This still happens today when I exercise (when I say exercise I mean walk slowly sometimes!) the tremor is now also slightly in my left hand. I have seen a number of neurologists, been tested also got carpel tunnel with a nerve test (the pads/ not the needles). I have been diagnosed with chronic migrane, benign essential tremor and anxiety and depression. The neurologists throughout the 4 years have never noted any weakness in limbs, unusual reflexes or strength problems in my neuro exams. I last saw a neuro a couple of weeks ago, just over 4 years since my first symptoms. I struggle constantly now through every day, counting down the minutes until I can be at home. I am always tired, my arms and legs feel so heavy and weak although I can grip normally and can walk in heels and toes. My hands shake like when you hold a weight for ages and you start to get tired. I am always tired!!! Like always! Like an extreme tiredness that makes me avoid anything that will make me worse. My muscles twitch when I do any exercise, even walking down the road, mainly in my thighs and bum and I am still very sensitive to light and have constant floaters! Does this sound like it could be mnd? It's something that play on my mind a lot.
I am struggling to focus on much right now, I can't get over all these weird symptoms, they scare me and make me feel awful everyday!
Sorry for the huge post and thanks for your support!
