I'm truely sorry to bother all you kind folks who have this devastating disease, but I'm desperate.Today my doc kept asking me if I had weakness but honestly even after reading you forum topics I'm stumped. Below is my story although long its is the complete symptom list ,this has been going on for a year now.I truely appreciate any input and again especially your time. I'm 37 male 170 lbs,used to be a heavy weightlifter Begginning:March 3,2012 I woke up with a tight chest (no pain),and congestion.This lasted a week or two and it went away, so I went back to weightlifting.The day after weightlifting at work I experienced debilitating back pain upper left side,and Dizzyness.Doc ran EKG of heart,MRI of spine,blood tests etc all neg.After numerous tests X-rays etc, went for massage therapy.She found a jumbo knot in my upper back ( huge like rope).During the three weeks of her massaging that out plus smaller ones,I developed a weird upper teeth tingling pain,sinus swelling and ear fullness plus acid reflux major.This led to major allergies during the summer and two trips 1: ENT who confirmed my sinuses were swollen 2: tmj dentist who confirmed I didn't have tmj just tight face muscles.Then I started spitting up blood in the morning where the ENT said it was swollen sinuses but they sent me for endoscopy came back neg.Fast forward to January this year, and weird flare ups happened.Standard flare up for me is ( extreme fatgue like a mass sugar dump,burning warm feeling)The next day sore upper back and burning feeling ,feels weak to,sore buttocks muscles,tension in calf muscles,hamstrings,thighs,biceps get tight,neck,shoulders,itchy ears,sensative to light,indigestion). When I'm not in a flare up I still get muscle tension like a cramp ,even in hands between thumb and finger.Calf muscle cramps ,feet.Somedays I feel great and some not so much,now I'm worried this is als or MD progressing scared to hell!
