Hello everybody,
I hope no one minds me asking for some input. Fairly long story, but I will try to keep it short.
In November I felt perfectly 'normal', got up on 4th November and had an attack of vertigo and fell over. Hospital did a ct of Brain which was normal and I was sent home saying it was a virus. A week later I started to get really bad pins and needles in one foot, started twitching all over, vibrating internally, still had vertigo and felt horrendous. Then got patches of numbness on arms and my whole left side felt weird .Back to A&E where all functions/ blood tests were normal aside from vitamin D which was extremely low. I was treated by my GP for this. The twitching has become intermittent, but is there most days and is sometimes awful at night. My whole body feels like it pops all over.My side still felt wrong and then I started to get a crawling sensation on the back of my thigh, burning in my hip and all down the side of my left thigh. It was so bad I could put any clothes on it. It's very painful .Back to GP who ordered MRI of head and lumbar region , all normal. I still have all the symptoms down my left side, but now I feel like I can't walk properly as my legs feel like lead/ jelly. They don't feel like they are mine if that makes sense.It feels like all the strength has gone out of them, although I can still stand. My left arm feels heavy too. I can no longer go out independently and have been referred to a neurologist.
As MS has been ruled out, does this sound like MND to anyone? I know generally sensory nerves aren't affected, but reading some of the stories on this site that's not always the case.
I'd be grateful for any input. Thank you. X
