Avatar f tn Hi everyone. I am a regular poster in the MS forum and was sent your way because I am in limbo right now for a MS diagnosis and some of my symptoms are similar to Chiari. I have had several CT scans and MRI's of my head and cervical spine over the last 8 years. At my last neuro appointment he looked over my scans and specifically said I don't have Chiari.
Avatar f tn I have severe TMJ- the worst my chiropractor has seen. I was wondering if anyone else has had face tingling/numbness, dizziness, head pressure, headaches from TMJ? Thanks!
Avatar m tn I am a laboratory scientist with 10 years doing CBC's. . I would not be concerned about these results.
Avatar f tn There is acetaminophen, dextromethorphan hbr, & phenylephrine hc1 I think
Avatar f tn Hi everyone. I am 40 and am awaiting a LP for the final test to rule in/out MS. My story: about 10 years ago I started to get a numbness/tingling in my face- mostly across my cheeks. It would only last a few hours or so and then go away. I had went to the ER the first time it happened and they said it was Bell's Palsy. I continued to get these random episodes of face tingling which seemed to progress into concurrent light sensitivity and a dizziness type of disoreintation.
Avatar f tn I was wondering if any of you feel like you are always lightheaded, or just have a "weird" feeling in your head? I don't get the vertigo spins, I just usually say I am feeling "woo-woo in my head", lol. It is 100x worse in fluorescent lights, bright sunlight, or when I'm in a store and moving my eyes back and forth between shelves in an aisle. Going to a chiropractor regularly helps some, but it has been getting worse. Thanks for your thoughts!
Avatar f tn Hi all. I'm still in Limboland and doing lots of research. I was wondering if your symptoms are predictable or not. My symptoms are always the same and usually follow a progression. Ex: tingle in the face, then dizziness, then sometimes leg shakiness and weakness, left arm weakness... then they go away in a hour or so. There is not pattern to when they happen.
Avatar f tn Hi everyone. I just thought I would stop by as it's been a couple of months. A short overview -I'm a limbolander with MS symptoms on and off for >10 years. Several neuro visits, MRI's, EP's; tons of blood work, EMG, NCV.... no conclusions. I had a TDAP in June 2014 and 2 weeks later had Transverse Myelitis like symptoms. My neuro said "yeah, maybe it was slight TM". Pain and numbness in legs, feet, back, hard to walk, extreme fatigue.

Avatar f tn Hi everyone. I am having some issues with my tongue not coordinating correctly with my soft palate when swallowing. I have had a swallow test, neuro exam, ENT exam, speech therapist exam all with normal results. I do have a history of bad GERD and the ENT said I have some throat irritation from it. Has anyone had their GERD affect their tongue? I am scared to death of ALS right now, and am looking for some simple answers. Thanks.
Avatar f tn After having a very strange couple weeks thinking I was for sure going to be told I have MS, I had my neuro appointment. Well I love my neruo, he takes his time, shows me all my scans, examines me, etc. But by the end of the appointment he looked at me and said "I really have no idea what is wrong with you". At least he doens't think I'm crazy (yet). He wants to do a couple more blood tests, random things like zinc and A1C, and do a lumbar MRI. He is frustrated.
Avatar f tn Hi everyone. Last Monday I started having some tingling in both my legs below the knees. It ended up turning into pretty strong pins and needles overnight that kept me awake. Since then (5 days later) I have had decreasing tingling but continued odd sensation, almost like burning or soreness or what your calves feel like after a charley horse. When I wake up it's most intense and then gradually diminishes through the day into just a strange feeling or pins and needles.
Avatar f tn Hi all. I want to thank you all for putting up with me here while I'm still in limbo for a diagnosis. My neuro is so confused by me and I will see him again in October. My current issue is I am so tired of weird sensations! Since the beginning of July, I have had tingling in both legs, bottom of feet, palms of hands. (See previous post worried about GBS). Added to that by mid-July was tingling lips, almost feeling like they are swollen, but don't look like it.

Since then (4 days later) I have had decreasing tingling but continued odd sensation, almost like burning or what your calves feel like after a charley horse. I have also had random pins and needle prick feeling in my arms, legs, torso. I'm having mild back pain. My hands have also been falling asleep more easily.
Avatar f tn I've taken Aciphex for over 10 years for extreme GERD. Since all the new studues came out about it being so bad long term, I decided to try and get off it. I'm down from 20mg a day to 20mg every 3-4 days. I've weaned over the last 2 months, had horrible rebound and can't get passed this stage. I have bad stomach pains, diarrhea, nausea. I'm supplementing with Tums currently. Any helpful advice is appreciated. I'm ready to give up.
Avatar n tn They do not test for the same thing. Cytokines signal cells of the immune system. O bands are the immunoglobulins produced by the cells. "Multiple sclerosis (MS) is caused by immune cells that activate a cascade of chemicals in the brain, attacking and degrading the insulation that keeps neuronal signals moving.
Avatar n tn Londres is certainly correct that there are a few other options available to treat what could be assumed to be familial hypercholesterolaemia, even though your doctor has obviously tried those that would be most obvious. Generally, if you experience muscle weakness as a side effect of Lipitor (atorvastatin), other statins will produce similar effects, so that eliminates the use of Zocor (simvastatin), Crestor (rosuvastatin) etc.
Avatar f tn s complications such as pancreatic insufficiency, for which I take Creon enzymes with each meal, and Colesevelam for bile salts. We cannot prescribe any drugs as a lot of them are toxic, and can only be prescribed by a Gastroenterologist. I would suggest you have a consultation with your own gastro and heed his advice - they are the experts, not us! Take care, Liz.
Avatar f tn Hi all, it's been a while since I posted as I am still in limbo land. I have been steadily going down hill since this summer and I am now having some scary symptoms. Just was wondering your thoughts. I had a Tdap vaccine in June. 2 weeks later I started having some tingling in both legs from the knees down and painful feet. I seen my neuro and he said it was unrelated, ordered a lumbar MRI and sent me on my way.
Avatar n tn I am not diagnosed, but I have sensations sometimes when I'm walking that the ground is moving, like maybe if there was an earthquake and only I could feel it. It's sudden and lasts only a few seconds. I don't like it.
Avatar f tn I had my follow up with my neuro today after having every test but the LP. I was hesitant with the LP because I wanted to know what would happen if it was pos vs neg. If it was the same I was not going to go through it... So anyhow, my neuro says I have a "beautiful" brain, with one hyperintensity by a ventricle that is "indicative of MS, but could be something I've always had". It has not changed in 8 years. All my blood tests and EPs are normal.
Avatar f tn I have similar problems. It's almost like the feeling you get after you are on an amusement park ride. And I get it almost every time I go in Sam's Club! I swear it's the fluorescent lights.
Avatar f tn What kind of diet have you been eating since your surgery? It may take you a long time, or never, to be able to eat foods you had in the past.
Avatar f tn Hypothyroidism can reduce the production of stomach acid by its effect on the hormone, gastrin. When too little gastrin is produced, this reduces the amount of stomach acid (HC1). Bloating, G.E.R.D., heartburn, intestinal inflammation, decreased food digestion and more can result from the lack of normal HC1 levels." - The 6 Main Systems and Organs Affected by Thyroid Disease by Dr. Frank Lanzisera.
