I find myself looking for others looking who might be going through similar experiences. Thank you for letting me come here and share! Any suggestions, hearing ideas, advice is more than welcome.
I am only 9 months into this and we are not sure what the "this" is yet. But I find myself experiencing more and more symptoms more and more often.
I went to the my chiropractor and told him I had this pretty consistent tingling in my chin. He told me if it didn't go away over the w/e I should see my GP. Two weeks later I made an apt w/ GP. The next step -neurologist Along with the tingling in my chin I began to just feel weak all along my left side and other things like more emotional and a general feeling of "blagh".
The Neurologist apt led to two MRIs of my head & c-spine both were normal for the most part. I tried to ignore my symptoms but ended up back at the GP telling him "it just wont go away".
Today, my left foot is always noticeable and I no longer play my guitar because my left hand will not keep going and it gets frustrating. Even making a simple salad this morning rendered my hands useless for about an hour afterward. Other fine motor skills in my left hand and sometimes right are frustrating too. Recently twitching in my right hand has begun and sometimes other areas. The next apt I had was for EMG, NCV OUCH!
Today I'm waiting for the results of more blood tests and for my next apt with neurologist on July 12.
