Hi, I am a 28 yr. Old mother of 3,
stepmother of 2. I am also an automotive
technology student which is why I am
writing about these problems. They are
affecting my schooling and my peace of
mind. About two yrs ago, I had a bout of
hand weakness on my right side and
numbness or tightness on my face on right
side. I went to doc and he wanted me to
get an mri, but I could not afford it and
the symptoms disappeared within a few
months. Then in aug. Of this year I
started bloating heavily(looked 8 months
pregnant) which at first I thought was
related but I don't think it has anything
to do with it now. So the bloating
continued and then I started feeling very
tired, and started feeling weakness and
tightness in whole right arm and
shoulder...And in my right leg and
especially my right big toe and the top of
my foot above my ankles. Soon I was also
having muscle twitches all over my body
but they were more often on the opposite
side of the body (the left ) in arms,
buttocks,thighs, shoulders, bottom lip,
and eyes. The are not constant but seem
to be chronic. Also pain in my joints
even when sitting. Have had bouts of
dizzinessespecially if I am concentrating
on something and then turn my head even a
fraction it feels as if I could throw up
and I have to hold perfectly still for a
long while to get it to go away. Then
there are the headaches and this pain that
comes and goes(really hurts bad) right
under my right ear almost feels like it is
under my artery or something and throbs or
gets worse with movement or using my voice
to much...And lastly hoarseness for about
tow months which seems to have no cause.
I cannot get any tests done because I have
no insurance though I have been referred
to a neurologist that wants 600 dollars
just to walk in his door. Any help would
be apreciated.
