I've previously posted on various forums (ie ms forum, ear,nose and throat, sleep disorders) to get to the bottom of my symptoms. Please take a look at my posts. I today received a very informative reply from a lady who said that my symptoms could be fibromyalgia.
My main symptoms are (sorry there are quite a few, at the risk of sounding like a hyperchondriac):
waking with numb arm and leg; tingling in limbs; 'vibration' going through body; heavy feet (especially left); pins and needles in hands and feet; cramps; muscle spasms; tremor in left index and little finger; VERY troublesome tinnitus in left ear only; dizziness; lightheadedness; feeling off-balance; pressure in head; pressure behind left eye and unequal pupil dilation; slight headache on left side; extreme fatigue; nausea; night sweats; no energy; anxiety; depression sometimes (not surprising!); blurred vision.
I know I sound like a basket case, but this is why I NEED to get to the bottom of what's going on!
I also, about 15 years ago, woke up and couldn't walk. I called out a doctor; went for tests but no reason was found. I also have woken up twice with very blurred vision, which returned to normal after a few hours leaving just pain.
What I'd like to know is, does this sound like fibromyalgia, and if so, is it normal to have fibromyalgia without a lot of pain, as I assumed that fibromyalgia was a very painful condition, and I don't suffer a great deal of pain, apart from the heavy legs and extreme tired body and mind feeling.
I'd be very grateful for any advice, as I am at my wits' end.
Thanks, Jan.
