Hi Lara, thank you for your reply. I am new to this and it is comforting to have a response.

I did have an infection about 4 weeks before this all began. I got a pretty bad case of mastitis from breastfeeding my baby which took 2 courses of antibiotics to clear. Because of this, guilian barre (sorry prob wrong spelling) was investigated first but ruled out quickly.

Both the GP and nerve specialist weren't able to shed any light on cause but I raised concerns about MS. This has been dismissed as I don't have eye or balance symptoms. I can't shake MS from my mind though. I guess we always want to try and find a name to help us cope.

Also, I forgot to mention that since this began I've had terrible night sweats, only on chest and neck, and also a burning sensation in both palms. Symptoms seem to worsen with fatigue, ie when baby isn't sleeping well and I'm up through the nights.

I would love to hear from anyone else who has similar symptoms, not that I'd wish this on anyone! Or any suggestions on forum groups that fit my oddness.

Thank you
