what could I be experiencing.
I gasped for breath often and it is much worse when lying down. I experience painful muscle spasms in arms and legs which is preceded and the accompanied by extreme sensitivity to touch. The spasms are much worse, and last longer, when lying down or sitting. I will always get the spasms after I lie down for a while. Sometimes mild, sometimes very aggressive, but they always happen when I lie down.
When the spasms subside I usually have aching, burning pains in my leg, arm and abdomen muscles. General weakness, always feel lethargic, I have a constant ringing in the ears, and am sometimes super-sensitivity sound. My hands fumble, hypersensitivity to touch. I sometimes find my foot will seem lazy? Toe dragging, tripping,, etc.. I experience numbness in hands and feet and sometimes lose grip on items without wanting to. I have fuzzy vision at times. Occasional headaches, brain fog, increasing memory loss, sometimes troubles speaking properly, breathing problems.
I had and accident 13 years ago that lead to 4 surgeries on my spine and back. The last surgery was for failed back surgery due to a collapse of vertebra from a previous surgery. I have some nerve damage in the lower spinal cord area, and from the sandy gritty sound and pain when I turn my neck, I believe I may have arthritis in my neck too.
The back injury, surgeries and spinal nerve damage have left me in a state of chronic pain. For many years it was mostly pain and of course depression from the trauma associated with the accident and the pain and loss that I had to deal with since then. [also diagnosed with PTSD after the accident ] But in the last 4 or 5 years the onset of the symptoms I list above started to show, and are increasingly getting worse.
Any ideas on what might be happening to me?
