Not the best writer so I’ll keep my wording direct.
-Shortness of breath since 02/2020 comes and goes
-Dry eyes and weird vision since 03/2022 also can’t seem to breathe through nose like I used to
-I felt really confused and slurred words for a few days last month but will say I had pretty much stopped my testosterone therapy
-As of late I always feel like I’m swallowing air.
-Went to Emergency room for chest pains on 04/7/2022 and they gave me Atorvastatin. I took three 80mg pills total while also being on omeprazole ( for last year) throughout that week, on day five got strep throat and both lower legs got week.
- Have leg muscle weakness since second week of April which spread to my arms within a month
- CK total was slightly elevated in April but tested in normal range 2 weeks ago
- Feel weak all over but atrophy only in my right leg (calf) and right bicep won’t grow.
- Got Mri of brain and cervical spine last month and told to be normal
- I was terrified but went for EMG and Nerve Conduction test yesterday and was told everything looks normal.
- I am confused because I thought for sure the nerve conduction or emg would confirm my diagnosis or at least point to something.
Thank you very much,
Greg who is really concerned
