I'm so glad I found this site since I can't talk with my friends and family...and what would I tell them anyway?? that I have these crazy symptoms and the drs do not know what it is...lol
Here's is my 'journey' so far...
I am 41 yrs old with no major medical problems
Last yr went to chiro b/c of back/hip problem; numbness in left leg, left arm, left side of face. Chiro thought it was ms and sent me to neuro.
Neuro did nerve test on my legs and suggested I have brain mri. He told me he didn't think it was ms...so I never had that test done since I really just wanted my back/hip problem solved.
Went to physical therapist and my hip/back improved and the numbness went away. So I thought all was good...
Now, about 6 mos later my left hand shakes whenever I eat, write or try to hold something in my hands. I've also had my left arm and left leg jerk for no reason.
I have been extremely fatigued...I have to lay down after I take a shower.
Other than that, I don't really feel too bad. I did change jobs so that I would have a more flexible schedule and not have to work long days. I don't really think I need treatment since my symptoms are minor, but I would just like to know for sure what is going on so that I wouldn't feel like I have to hide what is going on with me.
Any advice is welcomed!!
