I have had the spasms you are talking about in my eyes, stomach, legs. It is very scary but now that I have a diagnosis at least I know that I will have varied symptoms. I cannot even work as you, having pain levels of 10 most of the time. How you can do it must be very difficult.
If anyone has had an extreme loss of weight in a few months and pain in the trunk of your body could you please tell me. I was so sick with this that I could not eat. Also, does anyone take as much meds as I do; Lyrica, Cymbalta, Morphine, Doxopin, Temazepam?
I was diagnosed finally with a biopsy as everything else had been ruled out. Pretty much matched symptoms on line and requested a biopsy per what was stated the only way to get an accurate diagnosis. Having extreme loss of nerve fibers was apparent and I have worsened throughout the years.
I always felt that the Dr.s thought I was psycho symatic so those of you who are reading this and have the many symptoms discussed in this forum don't let them tell you that you do not have anything wrong. Have that skin biopsy and save yourself many years of Dr. visits.
Being years old I have heard it all from specialists to natureopathics none were able to help me. The meds I take are the only thing that works.
