Strange Nuerological symptoms.

Posted , 7 users are following.

For years I've had the following pains:

  • prickly burning sensations in the toes and the fingers that feel permanent, my toe feels damaged, walking makes the burning pins and needles worse
  • numbness in parts of the body and head that never goes away
  • pins and needles in the legs and feet and in my head almost constantly
  • extreme fatigue and muscle weakness, especially in the legs
  • sharp tinnitus and ear aches/pain
  • tingling in the hands and legs
  • muscle twitches/fluttering mostly in the legs
  • pins and needles in the eyelids and feels like something stuck in the corner of my eye
  • itchy sensation all over the body and head - worst in the legs

    ... among other weird things.

They are constant and feel permanent. My coordination when walking can be off too.

I'm only 28 years old. I weight about 125kg. My diet for years has been atrocious and I think its contributed to these pains. But I don't know how it could cause all of them.

I'm currently seeing a nuerologist. A physical examination of relexes etc was normal. I've had a nerve damage test done.. normal. I've had a scan of the brain and spine.. normal. I've had a scan of the soles of my feet.. normal. Right now I'm waiting on the results of a few blood tests.

All I have found out in the past 2 years is that I have b12 deficiency. Which I've read up on. I could possibly have other deficiencies as well but never been tested for them. I wonder if it's possible to have nerve damage that doesn't show up on a scan? I'm just so confused. How can you feel all of these things in your body and nothing shows up on a scan?

Anyone know what I could have?
