Good Afternoon,
Firstly, let me start off by saying how much I respect the brave men and women on here sharing their stories and battles. The selflessness I see here reassures me and restores a lot of my faith. Thank you.
I am currently lost and am seeking advice/direction - what I'm learning is what you all already know... you have to be your own advocate when it comes to your medical help. This is why I want to share my story and see if you guys can give me any leads as my doctors cannot...
It all started this past October 2016 when I tried to run up my stairs - mind you, I'm a 36 year old male in athletic condition. I felt my thighs were so overworked, weak/sore that I had trouble and had to walk very slowly up the stairs... I didn't think much of it but days later when I tried to workout (normal workouts mostly cardio) I would only last a few minutes and the cramping, soreness and pain was difficult for me to complete the workout. I went into my PCP who ran some blood (he didn't even check CPK level) and told me I was fine and just overworked, etc... Fast forward another 2-3 weeks my exercise intolerance was worse and after a workout I couldn't extend my arms... that's when I went back and he finally checked things like CPK and when I was driving to work the next day he called me and told me to check myself into the ER that my CPK was 33,000 and I had Rhabdomyolysis.
I was in the hospital for 5 days for it to come down by running saline through me to ensure they could flush it out without ruining my liver or kidneys. They ran every blood test, ultrasounds of liver, kidneys, everything.. nothing turned up. The final diagnosis was non-traumatic rhabdomyolysis with no cause that could be determined. They did seem interested in the fact that 2 to 3 months prior I was on Ciprofloxacin (Levaqin class antibiotics) for prostatitis. They said that this antibiotic was strong and linked to skeletal tissue damage and mitochondria damage, etc...but that it had been too long prior and they can't deduce that at this point.
Since then I've kept a lot but I fit into the category almost all of ALS symptoms (mind you I'm realistic and realize this mirrors BFS, MS, etc..). I have muscle weakness, mostly in my legs and specifically right calf is worse than any other spot, but it is widespread and my whole body is intolerant to exercise. My coordination is definitely off and I'm experiencing some intermittent shaking and my handwriting is even different. I am experiencing vertigo and tinnitus on and off... My reflexes are very responsive and I believe much more than before - possibly hyperreflexia. hurts in my feet and shins when I lift up my feet. I always have a feeling of that "lump in the throat" but that could be nerves too... I find myself tongue-tied a lot too and some occasional slurring. Most recently I have been experiencing fasciculations ALL over my body - neck, hands, calves, feet, groin, buttocks, biceps, triceps, jaw... you name it. And some last up to 10 seconds and are visible from the skin. Any sort of exercise will cause a "pulled muscle" or muscle injury type feeling even if it is brief. I have a full log and documentation of the soreness/pain/numbness/aching and other issues and will post it at the bottom of this post (if you've made it this far thank you for reading). I'm beginning to get depressed and lose hope as for more than 6 months I haven't been "me" and haven't been able to do what I typically do... A few weeks ago I dropped of my daughter at her recital and had to park around a quarter mile away... all down hill walking and by the time I got there my legs very sore and painful and I needed to sit down for a good 10 minutes to sort myself... walking back up hill to the car I had to stop 2 times... due to the very hard and weak/sore feeling in my legs. It was 20 degrees out which I'm sure didn't help.
I've seen my PCP, a Rheumotologist, Neurologist to no avail... The Rheumotologist thinks it could be a myopathy that I had since birth but was triggered by the Rhabdo which could have had any trigger itself such as a viral infection of the muscles which is now gone so no way to confirm... In any event, he did say "everything was on the table" due to my myriad of symptoms... and felt, along with the neuro, that multiple issues may be going on so it's hard to say "oh, MS or ALS or whatever doesn't present this way" because there's most like more than 1 culprit afoot. With that said, they both had concern that my most recent CPK showed 290 when my other's were all around 100 and I haven't exercised at all... so they had an EMG done of only my right arm and right leg - they said it came back normal. Now I heard this is a very good thing but not an "out of the woods" for many of the big neuromuscular diseases... I had a bone marrow biopsy done as my whites have always been a little low and platelets too.. I have ITP and they said it had nothing to do with what I'm experiencing.
The only thing left to do is an MRI and possibly muscle biopsy if they see anything in my right leg.. I'm pretty sure this will yield nothing and I'm back at square one... so my big question is what else should I be doing, asking, advocating for, asking for, etc...? Is there something obvious we're missing or should be doing that we're not?
Once again, I truly appreciate everyone's insight, assistance and bravery. Regardless of my outcome, I will continue to support, donate to, and be a part of the ALS community. Everything happens for a reason and I believe that this first reason is to open my eyes to what is going on and do whatever I can to help.
Thank you,
