Big Hello to every one out there and a big thank you for all the wise words that have lent help to so many.
I am here for some advice.
I was in this neck of the woods a year ago when I began to experience muscle twitching, extreme fatigue, weakness and exercise intolerance last September. Back then I was in the UK and sent to a Neuro who did some clinical weakness tests, said it was probably nothing and sent me for an MRI of my head which he said was also clean (I have never seen it). He told me the sympptoms would probably go away.
I wasnt very impressed and spent the next 2-3 months feeling really bad and with only more severe twitching. But I moved to Holland to live with my girlfriend and started work here and in the end my symptoms did go away. So far so happy except I was no longer able to do my sports. I could jog lightly but when it came to sprinting (what I am good at) my left calf was just not strong enough anymore.
Anyway I was determined to fix this and took to the gym and protein. 3 weeks of hard gym work and a few failed track sessions and guess what. I am ill again after about a 6mont break from it. Only this time I feel worse, weakness is worse, twitching and aching in my muscles is now in both calves, my left and right arms (shoulders and biceps now) and lower back and I now have a twitching in my tongue. I am constantly tired. When I sleep I suffer nightmares and tend to wake with really severe cramping and twitching in hands, feet and calves and my face feels very odd, like it has been numbed by a dentist or something. This is terrifying but weirdly during the day my symptoms are different bar the twitching and fatigue; I feel really nauseus and queezy, I am weak and find it difficult to walk without feeling like passing out.
I understand that this is not a diagnosis centre and that my best route is to see a neuro but my interest was in knowing at what stage should I be saying I need to see someone urgently? I have a big fear that I got lucky with a relapse last time and that now it (whatever this is) is progressing faster and unlikely to stop again. Plus I think I caused it myself as it kicked in about 3 days after I started to take an amino acid called L-Lysene, something which I have now packed in and will never, along with protein supplements, be touching again...
Big Love
