Default new symptoms...any thoughts??

Hi everyone. Thanks so much for the support. I enjoy reading everyones posts and lerning from all of you first hand while I am still looking for the cause of my symptoms.

The last time I had posted, I expressed my frustration with all the doctors I have seen and still no idea of what is going on. I started having double vision in January...worse with fatigue, and slight bilateral ptosis. Antibody negative, normal EMG. MRIs are clean, chest CT had some abnormalities in the area of the thymus, but non conclusive. I am meeting with a pulomonary doctor tomorrow (A small nodular area was found in my lung, but my PCP thinks it is nothing..referral to pulomonologist was necessary becuase of the size).

So, I have had some new weird symptoms. About a month ago, I started having some post-void dribbling (best professional way to say it, haha). After I pee, when i stand up, i leak (enough to wet my clothes...and very embarassing!!) And about 2 months ago, i started experience some tingling/numbness/itching on the right side of my face. Every once in a while, I get a similar feeling on the left side, but much less so. And when it hapens on the right side, my face feels heavy. It freaked me out enough that I had to go look in the mirror. I expected a droop, but everything looked normal.

I'sd appreciate it if anyone could let me know if they had experienced similar symptoms. I have an upcoming appt with a neuro-opthamologist and for a SFEMG. Thanks for any input!
