Hello all.
My name is Nick and I'm about 36 years old. I don't want to spend too much time going through my entire medical history but there has been alot of things happening to me over the past month and a half that I feel are MS related.
Let's back track about a year ago. I went through a long bout of headaches, dizziness, crying, numbness, etc. I had blood tests, MRI of my head, EEG, EMG and Nerve Conduction tests. Everything came back normal except that I have Peripheral Neuropathy; aparrently all limbs. The cause was never figured out. I did get through it. The first half of 2012 was really bad.
Fast forward to April 11th of this year at 4:30pm. I was working all day and when I urinated at 4:30 I was startled to feel like I didn't finish going. It was very uncomfortable. Went to local treat and release who dismissed it as UTI. Gave me Antibiotics. Went on vacation wtih this. Got through it.
When I came back I did goto my Urologist. Initially Prostatitis was suspected and I was treated for it; flomax and anti-inflammatory. Additional testing was done to rule out Prostatitis and any infections. I did have a Urine Flow test which revealed I do strain a little but my flow is normal. the test revealed I do retain urine in my bladder. Not an alarming amount but enough that's not normal for my age.
I'm awaiting a Urodynamics test to see what is happening with my bladder during filling, emptying. I've been dealing with it but it's a pain
Fast forward to last week. Out of the blue I became constipated. I do "go" but things are definitely out of the ordinary for me.
NOW for the past 2 days I've been having very very strange things happening to me.
- Tingling in my finger tips
- My forearms hurt
- Weird crawling feelings in my arms and legs
- Feeling very foggy in my head; problems concentrating, etc.
- My fingertips feel like they are pulsating at rest
- I feel like my head is rocking back and forth and trembling.
- Lower back pain that I've always had is getting much worse.
- I feel like I"m going to start crying.
I do get myself to the gym and it does help move things along on the constipation front. These strange drunk feelings are just bumming me out and I think I might be having an MS attack.
I do have a follow up with my Neurologist on Monday so will ask for another set of MRI.
Sorry for the long winded story but what does everyone think? Does this sound like MS to you? I have this fear I'm going to be Dx with Primary Progressive MS and this is it for me.
Thanks for taking the time to read this. Any suggestions or
feedback woudl be appreciated.
