Default Over a year now, still no diagnosis!

Hi Folks! Thanks in advance for your help...and I need it. First let me say I empathize with all of us on here who are dealing with health issues, diagnosed as well as undiagnosed.

I am a 42 year old man with girlfriend.

Im hoping what I am dealing with sounds familiar to someone. Ok, so a year ago I suddenly had what felt like an attack on my body. Tingling in feet and hands, then nausea, then twitching from head to toe. I felt nasty for weeks. Couldnt eat much due to the nausea and lost weight quickly. Never vomited nor have diarreah. Jetted to the doctors, who said bloods were normal. STD tests revealed only Herpes 1, which I never knew I had. My left arm and leg were noticeably weaker..to me. Not to the docs nor anyone else. I freaked. I thought the worse. Neuro docs did mri, bloods, eeg and emgs...all normal. Then the weakness all over began. I felt disgusting. Felt crawly all over...face tingled, everywhere tingled...just nasty.

So many bizarre symptoms cant list nor remember them all unless I look at the papers I wrote on when i went to the docs. Neuro doc told me that when doctors cant find a reason...they call it a virus. I believe that. Ok, so I noticed that my left side was the primary side of discomfort....now since March this year...my right side is going through all the same things as the left..feet hurt, heels tingle, achilles ache, feet still twitch on the soles...right leg and arm are feeling weaker intermittently. I think a virus is going crazy inside of me and attacking me first on the left, now also on the right side. I fear that my legs and feet are getting worse with no diagnosis and so far the docs are stumped.

Does ANYONE have any ideas? This has been a crazy ride. I know I might have made it sound simple but trust me its just for the sake of the readers and time. Thank you so much.
