hi sorry for hijacking with this rambling post but i've had a year long saga..

starting off with vertigo twice over a five day period last feb, followed by roughly 3 months of intense dizziness, that occasionally returns. Also have base of skull pressure/pain down to my T1.. Also have had eye pressure sensation, along with just an overall strange feeling.. and eyelid fascics that come and go. TBH I've always had odd feelings in my right eye, but during the dizziness it was more pronounced.

My left shoulder's had bouts of a intense fatigue feelings at times, and percieved weakness, but no actual weakness.. strength on command always. Currently it's OK. I'll mention now that I've done a lot of stuff that could irritate my rotator cuff, like rubbing my neck when it was aching for half the day, pulling wires, turning wrenches, etc.

My leg however has started to bother me.. around november I started feeling a kind of stiff sensation in the left leg.. and today it's i would say a degree more irritating now. I can walk, walk fast, sprint, stand on the leg, strength etc, but it randomly has some sort of conduction error when I'm on my feet, and my knee will feel slightly unstable. Il also have fasciculations, although somewhat randomly. Seems that my outer quadricep is the or one of the culprits, along iwth the shin muscles.
with regards to the legs I sit a LOT as I'm an internet addict, and have worn out the cushioning on my computer chair more or less.. i've had lots of problems with my lower leg going to sleep as I stood up from it. Also have had dull pains arise that made me concerned about dvt.. also have had pain at the sacral spine area.. I also have used knee pads to crawl around in crawlspaces for the past few months.
Anyway I haven't had extended periods of numbness.. so far any numbness has been the result of sitting only.. but this feeling in the leg is completely foreign and does not go away. I don't feel any pain, only this weird feeling.. *seems* to come and go from one moment to the next, so I hope that rules out MND

As far as imaging is concerned: Got a brain MRI w/wo contrast in may - the report indicated absolutely nothing. I've looked at it myself and AFAIK don't have chiari, and there's no white blobs anywhere in the tissue area. Also recieved an x-ray that showed mild arthritis in the T1 area according to the report.

At this point I know I can only wait and see (and hope it goes away), but from what I'm reading, MS is capable of creating all of my symptoms, even the neck pain.. Oh yeah I also had a 'ms hug' experience after contorting to put a plug into my tv on the wall - a week of feeling like I got stabbled under my shoulder blade.. that was roughly last january before all hell broke loose for me. Oh yeah I've had a constant cascade of varying ailments and symptoms over the past decade.. I really hate growing older !

Apologies if my post is unreadable. Just trying to sort this whole thing out in my mind.
THANKS,ROB
