Hi everyone.  It’s been over 5 months now and I’m experiencing weird symptoms. It started off as me not being able to sleep, which was strange because I’ve  never had a sleeping problems. Then I was constantly having panic attacks at nights thinking I’m dying any second. I knew I had to visit a doctor and tell him what’s going on. I was also having weak legs and when I brought it up to my GP he said he wants me to see a neurologist to rull out ms. I was terrified when I heard him say that and I began immediately thinking I have it after google searching and reading about it. When it was time to see my neurologist, he did a physician exam checked my balance and etc and said it was not neurological. That didn’t do it for me and I was still sure I had it. I made an appt again and the second time insisted to get an mri. At that time I was having more symtoms. Face tingling, vision problems, weak legs, swallowing problems, and also body tingling and random pains everywhere. Mri came back clean and this made me more frastruated as I’m in this state where I feel like crap but doctors are telling me I’m healthy. They think it’s all in my head. Now my entire body aches and my hands and feet feel weak and stiff. I have trouble walking and I constantly think I’m gonna trip over. Please let me know if you’re going through anything similar. I also came across als and now my brain won’t stop thinking about it and convincing me that I do have it. Oh I’ve also had an eye exam and take took X-ray of me eye and I was diagnosed with astigmatism and dry eyes. I’m still experiencing visual disturbances

    Have you had a doctor check your adrenal glands? You sound as if you are really suffering. If you are not suffering from adrenal insufficiency... You may want to see a psychiatrist.  I started off feeling as if I was dying... I would get tightness in my chest/panic attacks at night...I also had sleep paralysis. It all got worse. I was put on meds by my psychiatrist and all my symptoms gradually went away. In my case, it got so bad that I had developed auditory and some visual hallucinations. But if it is just panic...then a low dose xanax and zoloft would really help you get balanced out. This is just my opinion in view of what I have been through. Blessings xx
