Hi, :d
i'm a graduate from uni, a job-hunter and a 27 yrs old. Love writing, watching football ( im a loyal ac milan supporter ), and stargazing.

Btw I got some weirdnesses which lasts for about 3 weeks:
-fatigue
-vertigo
-can't walk, stand or sit down properly. It's like this planet earth has moved faster than ever.

Three of them bugged me for 24 hours a day, 7 days per week! No rest !

I was also experienced this in 1994, 1996 and 2002. But that moments, no serious medical checkups were made.

Within 3 weeks, I went several times to clinics and hospital. I remembered one night when I went to the hospital as an emergency patient, the nurse took my blood sample ( as I told the doctor that I got history of anemia twice ), and I got no flinch and traumatic pains like usual. The test proved negative. No anemia, yet my ears all alright. But why fatigue ? Why vertigo ? Why I got unusual in both movement and equibilirium ?

Felt dismay, I went home before dawn. I waited the things become all okay for 3 days, but still no slight change. My mentor at uni told me that I should return back to the hospital to see what the things are happening. This time I followed his instict and found out myself got addressed to the neurologist.

The next appointment and tests will be held on july 4th.

Somehow, can anyone help me about other things that exist in me ?

1. I can lost my vision ( total darkness ) for 1-3 seconds. But this is very rare. Blurred vision, but found out my specs still good in condition to use.
2. My writing become smaller and uglier by times. I'm noticing this trend since year 2000. And I got difficulities to hold my pen since 2004, my right hand got easily tired and stuck when writing my lecture notes. Some spasms also take place at my right hand. I found myself always exchanging my pen before any need to buy the new one.

3. It's so hard for me to swallow my dry food without water. I can't really enjoy the taste of my food sometimes.

4. Tremors ( relaxing and busy time ) since 2003.

5. Losing sense of pain in my right limbs. Remember the weird situation when nurse took my blood sample ? I realized too, that I lost sense to pain slightly when another doctor ( who addressed me to the neurologist ) put a test to test my sense at my feet. I was also always not realized when my hand got cuts.

6. Very moody- extreme feelings in emotions, dramatic transformations in my emotional condition. Never got total calmness.

7. Always an absent and confuse-minded person. Can caught up lectures well, but suffered loss of memories during tests or exams. Sometime I dunno what i'm talking about. Babling nonsense and become a laughing stock. That's make me unattractive to most men.

8. A frequent toilet-goer. I can't count how many times i'm visiting toilet per day. Conticipations sufferer and that caused skin ailments in me. Sometimes got diarrhea too.

9. I felt better when got drenched or exposing myself to chilly night. Daytime especially midday is like a hell, and for this 3 weeks putted me in extreme tiredness and disablity to walk, standing and sitting properly.

As I know, ms is not a usual in asia and among asians, but can anyone help me with ms issue ?
Any help got high appreciation and zillion thanks.

Bad Experience With Neurology Clinic
I was dissapointed.... But yeah still feel content with it.
I can only done my mri test on september. So long to wait to use national health service.......:p
but what if I am a newly graduated student and unemployed, I must have a lot of money to do the mri test faster !
Neurologist who made the neurology test for me said that she can't sense any abnormalities in me. What a heck !
But she missed another important test- vep test.
Now I was suffering from slight pain at my left eye and it's blurred for at least 1 hour per day. I dunno if it's optical neuritis or not. I just realised this when I went out with my friends to buy my meal in the morning. Like I was in need to chance my spectacle, but few hours later it'll back to normal. And its happened already for 2 days. Scary....

Extremely eHealthy
I had optic neuritis - I had a "textbook" case, so I can tell you the symptoms precisely:

- vision suddenly seems blurry -- not out of focus but as though your glasses are smudged with grease or you are in a steamroom.

- loss of colour vision. I basically "lost" red and yellow, while other colours were much more subdued and washed out. Things looked completely different colours through my left and right eyes.

Some people also feel pain in their eye, although I did not.

But this was continuous -- it didn't come and go at all. The blurriness gradually cleared over about a month, and it took six months to get the colour vision back.

Have you been tested for inner ear problems or for diabetes? A lot of your symptoms sound consistent with diabetes....Inner ear problems can cause vertigo......Get a peripheral vision test, because sometimes they can catch things on there that they can't in a regular exam...Tremors could be a lot of things...You should def. Have a full neuro. Work up. This is probably not of any help, sorry...

i have been tested for anemia and kidney problems but all got ruled out, but i'm still waiting for blood test for thyroid problems. Honestly I havent tested for inner ear probs. What do you mean by peripheral vision test ?
I hate to be a hypochondriac, but public hospital service here soooo slow and sooo annoying..:p

i was referred to a neurologist, but all common nurology test ( except mri and vep which havent done yet ) said I was normal...
