Hi all,my name is Andy and I live in Scotland in the UK,just wanted to introduce myself and to see if anyone can shed any light on what is going on with me.My Gp and Pharmacist seem to think I have some sort of nerve damage.

For the last 18 years I have suffered with Fibromyalgia and then 10 years ago I was diagnosed with Cluster Headaches,so I have been used to being in pain most of the time but then about 6 weeks ago I noticed things starting to get much worse.Firstly my feet and Hands were going numb and tingly and now I can only feel half of my right foot,then I started getting the most horrific burning pain in my neck,back,legs and shoulders,and also electric shock type pains up and down my arms and legs.
The next thing to happen was I started dropping things like frying pans with food in them,cups of coffee,cutlery,stuff of the shelves in supermarkets,you name it I've dropped it.My legs keep going away from me and I keep losing my balance.
Other things I can add are terrible sweating,irregular bowel movements and drymouth.
I would be greatful for any input,suggestions or advice from you guys as I know you are the experts.

Hope you are all reasonably well

Andy

Welcome Andy :)
 
I'm fairly new here but just wanted to say you should be getting some good feedback from this community.

I have severe small fiber neuropathy in my feet (minor in my hands) so I understand the numbness, tingling, knocking things over. Painful and extremely frustrating to say the least :)

Please keep us posted on how you're doing and know we're here anytime u need us.

So cool u live in Scotland....I've always wanted to visit. My mothers maiden name is McElroy. She said it was Scotch-Irish but I'm not so sure......I believe it's a Scottish name.
