Electric shocks, fatigue

Posted , 4 users are following.

I am a seventeen year old female suffering from neurological symptoms, as well as several others. This issue started as severe joint pain, but became more neurological around September 2019. In regards to my eyes, I have experienced severe vision loss over the last six months. I also have double vision where I have to close one eye in order to read anything. I have a cataract in one eye, and I have been seeing floaters and flashes. In my head, I have horrific migraines and headaches, a feeling of pressure in my head, and a spinning feeling. One of my most prominent symptoms is this electric shock feeling that starts in my neck and goes down my back, occasionally radiating into my arms. I’ve noticed that I get it more often when I’m playing flute (maybe something from my posture?). In my chest, I have a squeezing feeling that is very uncomfortable, and I also have tachycardia. In my arms, I have chronic pain, numbness, tingling, cold hands, some joint pain and stiffness, and my hands are very shaky (visibly shaky). In my legs, I have chronic pain, weakness, stiffness, cold feet, and numbness. I suffer from extreme constipation (I usually go a week or so, sometimes more without a bowel movement and I take Miralax regularly). I also have a lot of bloating, some upper abdominal pain, a few occasions of pale stools and bloody stools, severe nausea, and a complete loss of appetite. I barely eat, yet I have gained nearly twenty pounds in the last three months. I have a lot of trouble beginning urination and have had a few UTIs. Mentally, I have had worsened depression, a very poor memory, extreme confusion and fogginess, and developed OCD. Other than that, I’ve also had a bloody/metallic taste in my mouth, heavy periods, clonus upon examination, trouble with coordination/movement, some back pain, night sweats, extreme fatigue to the point where my teachers have had to call home about it, and muscle spasms. I’ve also noticed that I have a fairly constant low grade fever and a red nose. Any ideas on what this could be?

    Have your neurologist or primary care physician test for MS.

      We did a brain MRI and upper spine MRIs but both were clear-- are there other tests I should do?

    you can do Lumbar puncture but if ur MRIs are clear you dont need to worry about MS. (yet) I would recommend to check your thyroid hormones TAT MAT.
