I'm new here and feeling very confused/disturbed by some symptoms I've been experiencing over the last year. I have a brain MRI tomorrow afternoon. My symptoms are:
- Bladder issues for about 4 months last year with no infection, including frequent urination and waking up to six times a night to urinate.
- various small, but recurring, twitches in various parts of my body.
-a very scary muscle spasm in the muscle over my shin whilst I was driving about 6 weeks ago.
- constant tingling in my nose for the last 6 or so weeks
-fatigue, slightly poor balance and slight slurring of my speech. This I've been attributing to my long work hours and early starts, (and insomnia) but it seems that no matter how much I sleep I still feel tired
- terrible depression for much of the last 18mths (I'm ok now), which included bouts of excessive crying (triggered by emotion but way over the top).
- RLS for many years
-insomnia for many years but which has been significantly worse in the last 18mths, probably linked to the depression
- just these last 2 days, what feels like carpal and cubital tunnel. I feel like I've hit my funny bone and my fingers, wrists and forearms are tingling and very painful. Both my ppinky finger and thumb are the worst fingers, with the left hand worse overall. I was awake from 2:30am today because the pain was interrupting my sleep (painkillers didn't seem to help).
I guess I'm just looking for some insight, recognition (or not!) or understanding from others who may have experienced similar. I'm a 30 yr old woman who is generally very healthy and I've just caught my first head cold in more than 9 months. I'm feeling a bit sorry for myself as I've just yesterday lost my job at a wonderful place (nothing personal, the business is ceasing trading).
