4 months ago I began experiencing a range of symptoms: Fatigue/Confusion/Short term memory loss/loss of balance/vertigo/pins and needles in my legs, from the knee into my feet and from my elbow into my fingers. I also had trouble comprehending conversations/slurring of words and word searching, often forgetting what I was saying halfway through a conversation and using words inappropriate to the conversation.
I also experience an anxiety type feeling. A brain MRI showed no MS lesions. I am on Serc medication, which has controlled the vertigo and Endep as a muscle relaxant. My dr has recently prescribed me Oxazepam, which he wants to increase to 60mg a day. Having been diagnosed with fibromyalgia some years ago, he feels this has been a serious flare up. I am not covinced of this, as he is now saying he is treating the symptoms with no diagnosis.
As I work as an outreach worker and drive many kms a day, I have been taken off work, due to the medication.
I cannot see my Rheumatologist until April. Has anyone ever had Fibromyalgia effect them like this? Does anyone have any other suggestins? I am almost at my wits end.
