Can anyone help with these neurological symptoms?
These symptoms have been persistant over the last 3 weeks or so, I’m hoping someone may be able to help me figure them out:
Headaches, dizziness, nausea, lack of coordination with walking and writing, difficulty swallowing but not all the time, trouble finding words, difficulty finishing a sentence and last night I experienced seizure-like activity with my legs that only woke me up for seconds at a time. I was very restless and tossing and turning but didn’t feel like I was aware of it… does that make sense?! I changed between feeling freezing cold and burning hot instantly. It was last night’s activities that has made me ask this question. I have had malignant melanoma, my dad has had lymphoma and my mum has multiple sclerosis. Any ideas or should I just bite the bullet and go see my doctor? I’m trying to avoid anymore medical bills!
see the docter.
it could be very severe or maybe just something treatable with pills.
regardless you need to get in the docter those are symptoms to mess around with.
I’ve had very similar symptoms when I was diagnosed witha brain tumor… are you experiencing double vision. IF you are then thats a very good sign that you may have a tumor. Definately go to the doctor and get a CT scan / MRI. This can be very serious.
You definitely need to go to the doctor. You could have experienced a stroke, those are a lot of the same symptoms, you should have went as soon as it happened in case there was anything that you could have prevented earlier. Go to the doctor soon!
Trying to avoid any more medical bills could be harming your health. You have no idea if these symptoms are from a minor type illness or something major. Only a doctor can put the pieces of the puzzle together and give you a proper diagnosis. Go see one!
I say it sounds like a migraine disorder. But with such a scary family history you need to get checked out. Migraines cause me all the symptoms your getting. I always got a lot of head aches, and occasional migraines and cluster head aches. Then about 6 months ago I got my first really bad attack, I couldn’t walk or talk! I now have this severe migraine attack every month or so and for days at a time.
im so sorry youre going thru this. Your symptoms sounds like Multiple sclerosis. what you’ve explained, meets the critiria. it brought back memories for me. I am 9 months diagnosed with MS. Everything you’ve described does make sense.
I encourage you to go to a reputable neurologist, and get an MRI scan of your brain.
If there are legions, they will ask you to get a lumbar-puncture. -to have the final and last results of you having MS or not.
Like I said, I’m so sorry you have to go through this. But if you really have MS, There are a lot of treatments and support networks that will help you along the way.
If you have any questions on how to handle or deal with MS, please let me know. Please get treatment! you should be proud of yourself to even recognize your symptoms!
Know that your not alone, and please get that diagnosis delt with.
The sooner, the better. Please, let me know if you need help in anything.
