I'm a bit confused. I've had several odd
things going on for quite a while, and one
of nurses I work with told me I should get
tested for MS. Although I think it sounds
more like hypoglycemia? I guess both would
fit in with the symptoms, just some I
don't have, or I have some that aren't
listed. So perhaps it's something
completely different?
I'm 25 years old. Female. I smoke... I
know! I'm 5' 8" and about 175 lbs.
Maybe these are all connected to the same
thing... maybe not.
Shaking hands (I noticed this happens
mostly when I don't eat and when I eat, it
usually lessens or stops.)
Weakness.
Headaches (Usually worsens throughout the
day. But I do work on a computer all day
long, mind you.)
Vertigo feeling (And not with sudden
changes in position. Randomly. I'll feel
as though I'm falling over and will have
to 'catch myself' by grabbing ahold of
something. Usually lasts for a few seconds
and is becoming more frequent.)
Blurred vision/Eye pain (I do wear
corrective lenses. But I've had them for
about a year and a half and possibly just
need to get new ones. I've also stopped
wearing them at work as they seem to make
my headaches worse.)
Migraines (More of a sharp shooting pain
aimed at the temples/eyes.)
Muscle spasms (Mostly in the fingers. Even
with eating I can hold out my hand and my
fingers will move involuntarily.)
Frequent urination (Possibly just
over-active bladder.)
Feeling of anxiousness. (My hands have to
be in constant movement. If I'm just
standing I'll have to play with my
necklace or rings or something, I can't
sit them still no matter how hard to try.)
Tiredness (Even though I get my 8 hours of
sleep every night, it tends to be restless
or even when I do sleep fully I am tired
all the time.)
Depression (I'm sure this is completely
unrelated, butI think I'm possibly manic.
I tend to get depressed for no apparent
reason and it can last for days, or just
hours.)
Mood swings.
Leg pain (Mostly in the ankle and foot.
And more specifically my big toe when
bending.)
Chest pains (Possibly acid reflux due to
smoking.)
Stuttering, slurred speech (Apparently
earlier I said drawers when I went to say
doors. This happens alot and I'll have to
repeat myself. Or I will stop mid sentence
and have to start over like I lost my
place. Or Slight studdering.)
Thoughts? Opinions? Specific Specialists I
should be checking in to?
Any help would be appreciated, as well as
ideas as to what all I may/may not have so
that I can have an idea of what tests to
ask for when I go in. I'd hate to get a
line of completely unnecessary tests if
there's no way this all fits into
something.
Thanks for helping!
