I am a 40 yr old female. Hx s/p
hysterectomy salpingoopherectomy bilateral
in feb 06. Easter am woke with difficulty
speaking this happened the next day also.
Then teus. Woke to no speech diff. But was
off balance. Went to Dr. Then started
having leg and arm spasms by the time I
got home. Went to er had cat scan and
bloodwork. Negative exams. Given klonipan.
Over the last 3 months I have had mri's
eegs bloodwork and have been going to pt.
I have seen my neurologist and a neuro
spec. In boston for movement disabilities.
All tests have been negative. Noone had
ever seen unilateral spasms rt side and
speech diff. They first thought medicine
related then thought anxiety.Those have
been ruled out. The next suggestion is
maybe a virus in my nervous system. The
longest I have gone without symptoms is 2
days in a row. I have not had a lum.
Punctue yet. But that is the next on the
agenda. My primary wants me to go see
another neuro and start over. I go to pt 3
times a week for 1 hr sessions. They are
using neurofascial on me. I feel that it
has decreased the number of severe
episodes that I have.
The problem is noone seems to know what to
do with me. I have not been able to work
since this has occured due it coming on so
suddenly and not knowing how long or
severe the symptoms will be.
I desperately need to know if anyone else
has ever heard of this happening to
someone else. Ans if thereare other test
to be running. I use a cane most days
sometimes a walker and severe times a
wheelchair. That is when it gets so bad on
the right it starts spreading to the left
side.
Any suggestions are welcome
sorry this is so long but it isn't even
the half of it.
Thank you for your time
kim :lol:
ps before this I was a very active healthy
person 2 years ago I did a marathon in
arizona
If you are not without symptoms not more
then 2 days in a row then you should
consider hospitalization and examination
(EEG and EMG) while experiencing the
difficulties you describe. A lumbar
puncture and liquid analyses can be
performed to exclude multiple sclerosis or
polyradiculitis.
