Hello, my name is Synnove.
I am usually on the neuropathy forum, but I have looked at this forum too as well as the auroimmune disease forum. I do not know if I am at the right colum for introduction.
My problem started 2 years ago with migrane aura visual disturbance, MRI showed Cerebral Aneurysm and demyelinating leisond that looked like MS. I first had the aneurysm sucsessfully coiled and stented, but it fallowed by TIA and small stroke. I have recovered from it all without any residual symptoms.
But I have developed stronger and stronger symptoms like weakness, numbness pins and needles, parasthesia in all 4 extremities, pain burning pain everywhere. Have been diagnosed with vasculitis, and polyneuropathy,sensory motor and small fiber neuropathy as wellk as autonomic neuropathy. I have developed neurogenig bladder, and gastrophoresis.
I have had a constant vibrating feeling inside, feels like something is terribly wrong. The neurologist says it is the small fiber neuropathy that make it feel like vibration inside.
I have developed some strange episodes during the night that the neurologist says sound like simple partial seizures. I am going to have a video EEG obeservation over 72 hours done as in patient in a hospital. I am also finally going to have a SPINAL TAP. I have been waiting for that.
I have so many symptoms that sounds like MS, but I have had repeat MRI and there is no new leisons. And I am now 64 years old, so not really in the right age group for first symptoms . Is that right? Well, I was actually 62 when I first noted this symptoms, weaknes, vertigo, leg cramps numbness.
So, this was my introduction. I will fallow your site.
