Ok I know I'm constantly on here needing reassurance but my symptoms are sporadic...... Got this constant ache in left arm that I have mentioned and both hands feel they are really tense and clumsy. My right leg is feeling odd but not weak just a bt heavy at top. It's almost like my fingers are getting heaviness like they are tensing and it comes and goes.
The pins and needles and tingling/buzzing can be quite intense in one foot and then all of a sudden it'll be in the other foot - can anxiety really cause this - can it all be tension related??? Have the usual MS/MND concerns and it worries me sick - I'm also wondering if I have fybromyalgia with all the aches I have. ITs the arm one that worries me the most because it's a pretty deep ache and it never relents and has got slightly worse over past 6 month. I used to just notice it when I was holding my phone but now I can feel it all the time and I worry it's something progressing.
It really does help getting reassurance on here - I am back at docs again on Wednesday and I had another appointment with a neurologist before I went on holiday who told me not to worry too much but they wanted me to have a visual evoked potentials test as I have distortion in my right eye - if I cover left eye even faces on TV are hard to see clearly. I had a detailed eye scan when it started and found nothing - I have since read about central serous retinopathy and have self diagnosed that ha ha because my symptoms sound identical and apparently even an eye scan can't always detect it and it leaves some distortion after its resolved. As i have said before all other neurolgical tests from chiro and neurologist came back normal spart from slightly brisk reflexes. Ok that's all for now. As you can tell I'm having a bad day !!!
