I am at wits end dealing with the medical profession! I have been to 3 neurologists, my internist numerous times, and my symptoms continue to get worse. In the past 4 years I have gone from walking 10 miles or more a day (with work/and without) to not being able to completely walk through a grocery store without a lot of pain and using the cart as a walker of sorts. Some 25 years ago I was told by a doctor that there was definitely not "right" with my left side. He said I could have Multiple Sclerosis but they wouldn't figure it out for 20 years! At the time I just had muscle movements and tingling in my feet and legs.
Four years ago I started feeling like I was walking like I was intoxicated at times. Then it got more difficult to lift even grocery bags. I quit working. Since then I would have difficulty mowing the grass (very small yard). I saw a neurologist for multiple sclerosis but it was ruled out.
In April of 2016 my left leg began jerking, then my arm would tremor to the point that I couldn't hold a glass after using the weed whacker. It has gone downhill since than. The jerking became more spasms and cramping in all parts of my body. My upper body began jerking and having spasms. At first it was all left sided but is now effecting both sides. I have been told that I have restless legs all over my body. That it is just anxiety. My current neurologist says it has characteristics of a stroke and MS but is neither one. I am on mega doses of medication to control the movements that have been extremely painful.
I have read something in the past about a functional neurological disorder associated with trauma but just couldn't believe that so I thought I would throw it out here and see if anyone else has something similar. Any help would be very much appreciated.
Sorry for the length!
