Surgery 6 mos ago. Allergic reaction/
over medicated with anesthetic. Extreme
fatigue, balance off, heat intolerence.
Sent to neuro for suspected bells palsy.
Neuro suspected ms. Sent for mri with
contrast, c-spine mri, lp, evoked
response, blood woork. All normal.
Symptoms went away until oct. This year.
Fatigue returned. Neck felt like
t-shirt was too tight.Constantly pulling
at my neck. No sensation when swallowing.
Heat intolerence, but no sweating even
in 105 degree weather. Leg cramps esp.
Calves. Lasted 3 weeks. Then went
away.
January 2004 awoke to find fingers of rt
hand curled over the top of each other.
Fingers have burning and tingling
sensation. No pain in fingers, hands, or
arms. Leg cramps have returned and are
much worse than first time. Both knees
feel as if I have a rubber band around
them. Toes have tingling sensation, and
cramping. Can't wear socks.
Tongue and throat play "tug a war" all day
long. Tongue feels like it is glued to
the roof of my mouth to keep from being
swallowed. Base of throat feels like a
rubber band is strangulating me.
Difficulty swallowing.
Symptoms lasted 2 weeks.
February (past week) throat strangulation
back, lf hand fingers have started curling
over the top of each other. Fingers in
both hands are very sensative to touch.
Knee bands are back. Legs have burning
sensation. Toes curling constantly.
Blurring and 1 1/2 vision of some
words/people/objects. Left eyelid
twitching constantly. Hold on to desk
and walls to keep from running into
things. Difficulty swallowing. Tongue
very sore from being scraped against teeth
each time I swallow. No sense of hot or
cold when swallowing. Frequent need to
urinate. Decreased output.
Should I contact pcp, neuor, or just
ignore?Sorry this is so long, but I hope
someone can help me.

Hi new to all this myself. I have had
symtoms for a while. Speach funny or
slurring at times... Vision feels shot.
.Hard to focus on things...
Legs feel weak and that cannot support
body. .Knee on right side goes the same..
Hands and left arm all show signs..
Unfort several tests show as primary
causes of ms but spinal did not.. Doc
does not want to confirm 100% for if wrong
etc..
If your symptoms come and go over time..
You should see neuro. If nothing more
than to give you peace of mind. Unfort
in my case it was at the 100% mark when
spinal came back neg so now he wants to
monitor over time.. Basically his voice
eyes motions say yes.. But his words for
liability reasons now say possible. To
me say yes and I deal with it.. Not
wonder hour by hour..
Hope you check into it.. At least then
you have a direction to consider
