Muscle weakness is sometimes caused by statins. Are you taking any?

statins?

Yes, statins can cause muscle weakness even in otherwise "healthy" people.

I mean what are they? I don't think I am on any- my full drug list is on page 2- Sorry for the confusion.

cholesterol drugs like crestor, lipitor, etc.

Ah... thanks. No I am not on any of these.

Here is my full Drug List. However the Dr. does not think it is a drug side effect. It does weird me out though, cause I keep second guessing my body- like- does it really feel like that, or am I imagining it. I shouldn't do that, I know when something feels off, but I am so worried it will turn out to be another weird symptom that no-one knows what it is or what it means, and after a bunch of testing I will be back to square one. Or that it will turn out to be nothing (I know it sound wrong to wish it to be something, but when you are just waiting for symptoms so they can make a full Dx you want things to be something.

I am sorry you are facing more. Like you with any sign of new symptoms I get very anxious. I am working on staying in the day as through this I have had some things that either caused a lot of pain or feeling pressure/sick I could go on that did not turn out to be anything. I am not sure what it was and of course it is still scary and like you I wanted more of a dx but some of the things that caused me a lot of pain did go away and not come back. I am glad you are getting an mri of the brain and spine I had that too. It sounds like your doctor is on the ball so that is good as well. May I ask and I am sorry do you have pain in your legs? I know at time more a few years ago my legs felt like that they would give due to that. On a side note I am thinking your doctor knows of all these meds but have you given him this list again as it has been updated. Sometimes I will see a new doctor and start a new med and tell them what meds I am on but I also think when the list gets that long to show the primary doctor you are working with the most the full list.
Lastly I am sure you mentioned this and I know you are going to a rheumo but have you been tested for lupus,celiec,cholitis or chrons,etc? If your blood sugar is high what is it or is it just moderatly high? Sorry I am not much help. Try to take 1 day at a time. I know how hard this is
