Symptom History
2003:
9/21 - 10/10: Double Vision
12/6 - 12/24: Right side only - Numb tongue, bottom lip, chin, cheek, ear, arm & leg. Achy/sore overtired feeling. Extreme weakness (can't lift leg up off of seat). Balance problems in tight spaces & turning, dizzy with eye movement. Fatigue.
2004:
1/15 - 3/31: Thigh soreness, overtired feeling in both legs, right shoulder has weighted pain (like a brick on it), right ankle has stabbing pain, lead in legs (hard to walk, very slow!), hands & forearms numb & tingly. Fatigue.
4/15 - 5/12: Complete body numbness! Started in feet (2 socks numbness), spread up legs to "genitals", to chest and arms, back & butt, to the back of my neck & scalp. The only thing I can feel is my face. Everything else can't feel the sharpness of a pin. Fatigue. Dates? - End of June into the beginning of July: Jerking/Flailing arms and legs, like Tourettes.
7/27 - 8/4: *Stress induced episode* Legs weak & numb, arms weak with tremors. By 7/30 I could not walk - slow shuffle while holding onto Chris.
8/25 - 9/27: Pins & needles, stinging feeling in both hands, palms and all fingers.
10/3 - 10/28: Constant urge to pee! Bottoms of both feet, ankles, back of calves & thighs extremely sore, tight feeling, uncomfortable sitting or standing. Slow walking & weakness. Fatigue.
November '04-March '05: I can finally go up and down stairs easily (since Dec'03)! No more struggling with lifting my legs to go up. No more struggling to stretch my legs enough to go down.
March '05: Charley Horses in my feet & legs while exercising. Numb feet while exercising - lasts for about 10 minutes after I stop.
3/27 - 4/4: Exhausted, dazed/fuzzy/foggy feeling. Numb right arm (wrist to mid-bicept only), dulled sharpness of a pin, cement legs - right heavier than left.
4/14 - 4/21: Stomach soreness around bellybutton, feels like something pushing on my stomach, bruised and pulled muscle feeling. Advil seems to help relieve it.
4/27: Stopped taking prozac - will change to Celexa on 5/10. Rough withdrawal w/ major depression.
4/30 - ?? : Dramatic spasms, like Tourette's, in my head/neck (jerks to left), both arms (raising up & out, sometimes pulled in tightly), legs jumpy. Gets worse later in the day, but usually only at a relaxed time - does not happen during activity. Called neuro and was prescribed Lorazepam, 2x/day. Right leg spasms 16x in 5 minutes for several hours, even with Lorazepam in my system. Quick, flutter kicking that lasts 3-5 seconds - sitting, walking or standing. Charley horses in feet and hands.
