Neurological symptoms at age 25
Posted , 2 users are following.
Hello everyone, i'm 25 year old male and i've been struggling with wierd neurological symptoms for almost two years now. Sorry for the long post but please read it!
My symptoms started with tinnitus (ringing in ears), 2 months after that: muscles twitching, numbness and tingling.
it went off and on, few days good and few days bad like that for 5-6 months and then all kinds of troubles started happening.
Migraines, dry eyes, one eye pain, blurrines, random muscles pains and aches, muscle stiffnes ( calves), random joint pains and aches, severe burning in feets, buzzing in feets.
Most of these symptoms come and go but muscles twitching, numbness and tingling is always there.
And then, 4 months ago i woke up one morning with right leg weakness ( i can walk normally but that leg just feels weak and wierd ) and 2 weeks after that, my right hand also felt the same way, but more mild than the leg. This persisted and it's not getting better.
The tests i've done: 3 MRIs of my head, 1 MRI of neck spine and 1 MRI of low back spine - all clean!
2 EMG tests - both showed damages on my leg nerves. The first doctor told me it's radiculopathy from discs L4, L5 and S1. But MRI of low back disagreed with that. The second doctor told me i have nerve damage but it's not from low back it's from something else and he doesnt know what it is.
My vitamins are all good, except my vitamin D is really low.
I didn't know where to search for answers so i've been tested for Lyme disease ( i was bitten by a tick 9 years ago and didn't had any symptoms back then at all). One fragment of the test is positive IgM (antibodies p41, p100 and OspC are positive), IgG is negative. Infectologist doctor gave me diagnosis of Chronic Lyme. I've been taking doxycycline for 4 weaks now and azomex for one week. I've been also taking vitamin D (10.000 units), vitamin C, magnesium and vitamins B6 and B12.
i don't feel better at all. The sympoms i'm having right now in this moment are: Small and severe muscles twitching in my both legs,feet and sometimes in other parts of the body, burning and stinging in feet, ocassional nubmness and tingling in random parts of the body AND the most bothersome, the weakness in my right leg and arm.
Does anybody have similar situation like me? Could it be Lyme disease? Could it be something else? If anybody has any information, advices, comments, please reply. Every info is gold to me. I'm only 25 and i'm very afraid of all this. Anxiety is making me think i will be crippled or dead in a few years and i'm only 25 (ALS, MS and all kinds od scary illneses).
PLEASE help!

It could definitely be Lyme, but with that being said many people who get Lyme can also develop CIRS among other things. I would look into CIRS.
