Hello
My case is quite complex and I was wondering if anyone had answers
Starting last Winter,my hands went completly numb.I thought I had a pinched nerve, and it went away so I never gave it a second thought.
This past summer, I started having awful back spasms, which only happened once a week and in a very consistent manner, IE the time of day, when it would stop,etc. They,too, went away just as oddly as the numbness in my hands did. However, in all this mess,I began having a set of new symptoms and have progressivley gotten worse. I have almost no sensation from my neck down; I cannot feel anything. I also have tingling in my feet,hands, arms, and legs, which comes and goes as it pleases. My balance is off, I fall and trip a lot; I have lost muscle strength and cannot lift as I once did. I am fatigued for no reason, and the worst of it all is I have had one episode of temporary blindness.
The doctors seem to be very baffled at this,and ordered a battery of tests.Everything has come back normal; my brain is normal, my blood tests all are negative for the biggies: no lupus, diabetes lyme disease, normal B12 levels,etc.
My question is,is MS still a possibility even though they have probably ruled it out? What else could be causing my odd mirage of symptoms?? So much has been ruled out,and yet we are no closer to an answer than yesterday. I am going to see a neurologist in two weeks, so maybe he can give me an answer.
Any help is gratefully appreciated!
