Can Anyone Help ? Slurred Speech, Fluttering Eye Lids Stuff Posted: 12-06-06 16:37pm
Hi,
can anyone help diagnose or recognise
what might be wrong with me !
For about three week I have had numerous
episodes where my eye lids start to close
and flutter, my legs become weak, my
speech becomes slurred and my vision can
become strange, sometimes resulting in
collapse but I can always hear.
I have been to the doctors and they have
ruled out epilepsya and other brain
disorders and I have had an mri scan,
nothing picked up. Also I have had blood
tests , ecgs etc the docs can't find
anything wrong and say there isnt much
more they can do.
Has anyone else experienced anything
similar? Any ideas would be most
appreciated.

Is there any specific time of day when it
seems to be more common? Do the symptoms
occur more commonly when you are tired?
Certain types of myoclonus, which are
considered epileptic episodes, can cause
spasms like you're describing. They can
also be indiators of other neurological
disorders like parkinson's disease and
mulitple sclerosis. It could also be a
kind of myasthenia. It's hard to say more
without knowing a lot more details of your
symptoms.
Hope that at least helps a little bit!
i've heard of people googling symptoms.
Have you tried that to see if you could
come up with anything?

Your symptoms can be linked to many
illnesses. I know you said that you had
an mri, but you need more extensive
testing. If it was ms(which I am not
saying)it can take years for doctors to
diagnosis it correctly. Keep asking the
doctors until you get an answer.Good luck.
