Well, I'm 18 and currently have Crohns which is under control with Remicade, but for the past month I've been experiencing tingling in my head, burning sensations, swaying sometimes when standing, and the sensation of muscle tightness in my upper chest, neck pain, and a internal vibration sensation and my fingers tremor when pointed. I also have this very weird sensation where it feels like cold water is in the back of my head and back. All these symptoms come and go and are usually worse at night. I really hope I don't have MS or some other VERY serious disease.

I cant really say anything to help but I just wanted to encourage you to keep trying to figure it out with doctors help and your own research. The path to recovery, health and discovery is often long and difficult, Im traveling down that road myself.
Maybe someone with more knowledge will come along with some advice. |

Hi.
I don't know what's behind all your symptoms; obviously, something's amiss, and when doctors can't find a ready cause, they just treat symptoms. Testing should reveal if there's anything to see, like lesions, etc. If nothing shows up, and your doctors call it idiopathic, it's probably dietary or environmental. A good guess would be sensitivity to wheat gluten, which affects almost everyone to a greater or lesser degree. The good news is that it's something you can do something about. There is an abundance of excellent advice within this site. I recommend the book, "Wheat Belly," by William Davis, available at Amazon for about $15. It may help clear things up for you; at the least, it should help some of the symptoms. Steven |

I'm scheduled for another appointment this Friday with my doctor, the first time I went(two weeks ago) he gave me this lame excuse that one of the medicines was causing it and to stop taking it(Atenolol) checked my neck(lymph nodes...I suppose?) and sent me off, I don't think I was in there more than five minutes.
Anyway, I'll update this thread Friday. |

Okay, I actually got an appointment today with my doc, and he prescribed me a medicine called "Primidone" to help with my tremors. I asked him what did he think of my paresthesia and he blew me off saying "I really don't know" then, I asked if the medication would help with it and he said "It might" I really don't know what to do. It seems as if he doesn't consider it serious.
