Hi niceguy,
I have been reading your posts and we have a lot of similar symptoms. Before I forget, I want to tell you that the Coke makes it worse because of the caffeine. Also, if your neuro never heard of benign fasiculation syndrome, get a new one.
For 15 months I have been having the vibration you speak of. It is so intense now when I am trying to sleep, that I have a hard time getting a good nights sleep. I now have muscle twitching and weakness that started in the right leg, but is now in both legs and arms. My EMG of the legs 9 months ago was normal. Loads of bloodwork and MRI's have been normal, but I continue to get worse. I have the same breathing problems that you wrote about. I have even been unable to sing at church, even softly. I have gone to the ER because of shortness of breath and they find nothing, yet I struggle to get a deep breath. Just like you said, other days it is completely gone. I am not sure if it is the diaphragm muscle weak at some times or what, but it is definitely there and it is not related to anxiety. I also noticed that my muscles cramp and exercise bothers them for almost a week later. I try to build my body back up and it makes everything worse.
I have the brain fog very often. Sometimes I have a hard time thinking of a word while I am talking and sometimes I forget something simple. I have also had to get glasses and have the prescription changed twice in the last year and a half. I never wore glasses before this.
Our symptoms are very similar, at least I think. So, maybe we can keep up to date with what tests we have had and what our doctors think. If you want to email me, I will be glad to let you know what my neuro says when I meet him on Thurs. Leslie
