36 years old, mother of one going through tests to get to the bottom of what i have got going on.
For a very long time i have had what i can only describe as 'internal vibrations'. They are with me all day, every day, and mainly are in my legs and arms. My legs are as weak as anything and what got me to the neurologist in the first place, my left leg giving out on me when was standing still. I have a tingling in my left foot if i run my hand over the top of it toward my little and 4th toe. I have severe tremoring in my right arm. I am constantly exhausted, i struggle getting words out and can sound like i am slurring. I have a really sensitive ulnar nerve, my memory is shot to bits, i have started to sway when standing still which was horrible and sometimes the floor felt like it was vibrating, but i guess that was just me. My arms aren't quite as strong as they use to be either... I have the sensation that my finger tips are numb and i have creepy crawlies under my skin too. My nose gets numb sometimes and i have a post nasal drip and i'm speaking very nasally too. I've had an MRI that came back clear.
Needless to say i am terrified and have almost accepted that i am going to get a positive diagnoses.
