Hi Beenthere

Thanks for your response.

No - no weight gain. My symptoms indicate an autoimmune inflammatory condition of the CNS of some sort and possibly MS (multiple brain lesions). Because I don't yet have a firm diagnosis, I'm interested to hear if others have similar symptoms. As I woke up this morning with very swollen areas under my eyes - I'm inclined to think that what started on Friday afternoon with the dropped upper eye area has evolved and is some sort inflammation - ie not purely neurological. Also, every inch of my body feels hyper-sensitive - like every nerve ending in my skin is being stimulated. Truly weird and really aggravating.

My neurologist has referred me to a rheumatologist (appointment mid-December). Hopefully he will shed some light.

Thanks again

Merle
