Hi All,
I know there are a lot of symptoms posts so I will try and keep it brief. However I wondered if anyone else had a similar experience to me?
So these are my symptoms:
Long standing fasciculations, cannot remember start, possibly 3-5+ years. Affecting all areas.
Vertigo, 3 years ago
Fatigue, 1-2 years
Feeling of unsteadiness on feet, 1+ year
Shortness of breath 10 months since noticed, gradually worsening.
Feeling of heaviness in arms, legs for around 7 months
Muscle spasticity (I think) issues past 4 months (e.g walking up stairs legs tire/ stiffen faster than usual)
Recently feel like im starting to drag my left foot a little when walking.
Onset seems to be affecting all areas of body rather then starting in one place.
Other past medical problems:
Long standing fungal skin infection problems*
Arrhythmia
Vitreous floaters
Slipped disc (microdiscectomy to relieve trapped nerve, lumbar spine) 2.5 years ago
Anxiety (took sertraline a few months ago, lead to worsening of apparent neuro symptoms so stopped taking)
So far awaiting further tests including EMG, had mri scans and bloods which were clear apart from minor vit D dif. Physical examination was apparently normal.
I know it's best to wait for answers from the specialists but it is on my mind most of the time. I am only in my early 30s and obviously very concerned.
Many Thanks!
