I was recently told I had meralgia. I'm in the middle of tests with neurologist. Too many red blood cells. Frequent UTIs.
However I'm not due back for a few weeks.
More recently I've lost all feeling in my lower back. I don't know when I need the toilet anymore. I can't feel it. Constipation becomes diarrhoea.
I'm struggling to climb one flight of stairs.
I'm exhausted.
I'm single but in my last relationship I admit I faked everything as I couldn't feel anything.
I've scoured forums and the Internet but can't find anyone with meralgia who has lost control and feeling of their lower back and abdomin.
Does this sound in any way familiar too anyone and if so can you tell me about it.
Consultant in two weeks and this time I want to go prepared with questions and not be left thinking I forgot to say xyz etc
Thanks x
