Healthy and then calf fasciculations, now paresthesia
Starting in February, I started getting calf fasciculations in both calves. No pain, just little twitches all over. No change until about 2 weeks ago when I started getting the feeling areas of my skin have fiberglass on it: This is a tingling and slight burning sensation that starts a few hours after waking and gets better when I go to sleep. I also get dizzy spells. All of this is gradually gradually getting worse. I can give lots more info on this. I got into a good neurologist who has done an EMG, NCV, physical exam, and lots of bloodwork in the last 2 weeks. I have not heard back from her yet on the findings but she told me not to worry about things. It is hard for me to not worry when its my body and the symptoms are getting worse gradually. I have tried the usual regimen of Calcium, Vit D, Alpha Lipoic Acid, CoQ10, and Acetyl L Carnitine, oh, and Methylcobalmin (B12) with no noticeable change in symptoms.
I have never had any issues before with my health (I am 46), and don't have Diabetes or any other systemic disease that I know of. I had a nasty stomach bug back in Oct 2011 that went into a bad sinus infection for 2 weeks. For 2 months afterward I would get indigestion whenever I ate anything and get the full stomach feeling afterwards for a couple of hours. An Endoscopy in January this year showed Erythema of the stomach Fundus (typical of Gastritis). Gradually the indigestion went away and the fasciculations came on about a month later.
