Hi Forum.
Im going through a very tough time like all of us and im going to tell the story as it is in the hope that someone can relate to it or make sence of whats going on and if it is anxiety or whether i should be looking elsewhere.
My problems started 5 months ago with a hypoglyceimic type attack and these continued every afternoon for about 10 days before they started to become more irregular and i went 3 weeks without one up until just before xmas.
During this time i also had the following symptoms
Trembling in legs
metalic / blood taste in mouth (sometimes with light trace of blood in saliva)
Head pain and extreme tightness
Blurred vision and light sensativity
Jumping images
Spasm attacks in muscles especially face arms and legs
Tired all the time and dark eyes
Dry mouth
Pins and needles in feet and Fingers
Muscles twitching in arms and legs
Muscle popping sensation in legs.
Spells where i constantly urinate every 10 mins which lasts a few hours
During the initial 4 months i have had a lot of blood tests and on one occasion was admitted to hospital where i had more blood tests and a CT scan which were all clear except for a slightly low white blood count and slight enlargement of liver (aparently a Virus)
I eventually accepted as per my GPs thoughts that it was anxiety even though i have never felt anxious and was not when the attacks started.
Anyway things improved and symptoms got less but never went away for around 3 weeks until about 2 weeks ago when i started feeling run down again and now the symptoms are happening again but now im experiencing:
Head pain
Muscle tremors deep in legs
Tight jaw
Head confusion
Hypoglycemic feeling
feeling that blood pressure is dropping as i feel giddy and faint and heavy.
constant urinating every 10 mins which lasts a few hours ( about once a fortnight)
Nausea
Sinus pain
I eventually saw a clinical psycologist privately a few weeks ago as the NHS are rubbish and still have not made an appointment after 4 months. At this point i felt the symptoms were returning so after consulting this reputable psycologist she has told me that i should have an MRI scan as it may be an issue with my nervous system. Obviosly this has made me think alot and do research on the net which i know i shouldnt and its pretty scary! i went to my GP today to ask for an MRI and he totaly blanked my concern and said he would take the matter up with my psycologist. I feel like no-one apart from my wife is listening. I just want an opinion and to be pointed in the right direction even if i have to pay for the MRI privately.
Has anyone heard of anything like this or has experienced anything like this before? what was the outcome?
Id never do anything silly i have a family i love dearly but sometimes i feel so desperate i just break down and worry i may have something terrible and no-one seeems to care?
Thanks guys!
