Hello , My name is Mark I am a 31 yr old with 2 lovely daughter ages 6 and 3 and my 3rd baby is on the way.. The story is I went to my doctor last march just to have a physical exam after a week they called me that i have vitamin D defieciency so i started taking 2000 iu of vitamin D , on the 3rd week of april 2013 i noticed i got tingling in my face so i went back to my primary and he told me i got face neuritis and prescribed prednisone so after couple days the tingling disappear but on the 1st week of may I woke up wth two burning sensation on both of my legs calves area my primary doctor ordered emg testing right away and referred me to a neurologist..The first 48 hours the burning symptoms slowly dis appear by the 4th day it changes to leg pain,with mild weakness and pain specially the calves area, on the 5th day it happens that someone cancelled their appointment so i got lucky that the neurologist sees me in the 5th day he did some reflexes testing and ordered mri of spine and ct scan of throat because i am a dhyspagia patient for almost 2 yrs now... after a week every single symptoms that i am havin completely disappear i thought i am cured ...the second week of may 2013 i did all the testing mri cervical spine and ct scan of throat everything came negative..the 3rd week of may i did the emg testing on that same week about 4 days of waiting for the emg testing the doctor called me and told me that the test was inconclusive on NCV, and EMG testing detected a weak signal from my legs but he couldn't explain more and i need to go back to the neurologist so he can explain it to me and do further testing that's was last May 24,2013 ..the next day saturday May 25,2013 i woke up with a muscle twitching on my left arms and on that same day i started to feel the mild weakness and pain the the calves area it feels like the whole Saturday everything changes in just a day, the next morning my twitching started to spread all over my body and the mild weaknes spread to my arms with pain so today is the 31st of may and the symptoms still persist with a new symptoms of upper jaw discomfort just this morning I am completely helpless on whats going on i can still stand up walk fine but every part of my limb hurt and twitch that will last only for 5 sec or less... I do have an appointment this coming Monday on my neurologist.. Thanks for reading
