For the past 6 months i have been thru rhemotologists, neurologists, vasuclar, orthopedists, several primary care drs, and was sent to Stanford Hospitals neurology department for tests all which have no explanation as to what is causing my symptoms. Ive had mri's with and without contrast of my head, cervical, thoracic, and lumbar region to check for MS etc. all of that came back clear of any MS or serious issues although they found mild scoliosis, bulging disc, and some other benign abnormaltities but foiund no nerve impingment. Blood work is all normal, my b12 is over 1000 and my vitamin D is high as well and ana rhematoid factor is all normal. Ive had the evoked potentials of my optic nerve and the thing where they electricute you lol i cant remember the name but the only thing a couple has mentioned is could be fibromylagia but never went any further to check or test for it.
Im 26 years old and used to exercise 2 hours a day 5 days a week and now due to the weakness i can barely do it once a week. I have tingling in both legs behind my knees down thru my feet and shins. I also have periodic numbness in both of them as well. I have sporadic shooting pain thruout different parts of my body and some spots on my spine and glutes that are so tender i cant even touch them. I have some memory and focusing issues which i have been trying to conivince myself is just anxiety but i know its not. I went to college for 6 years and had an amazing memory and focus and now i cant seem to remember anything or think as quickly as before. (Admittidly though my anxiety is up because of all of this runaround with testing) Anyways im so sorry for being longwinded but i was wondering if this sounds familiar to anyone? Im having a hard time because i would like to have children someday and know that i dont need to worry about it being something disabling in the future but i cant seem to find any doctors that will look any further than this...thanks so much for letting me vent any comments are truly helpful for me right now
