Ok, so after my inital numbness/tingling sensations that sent me to ER, symptoms seem to calm down. So I did too. I had the thoracic MRI done, but hadn't heard from Dr Smoot office that I took the ol "no news is good news" attitude. Mostly because I wasn't too thrilled at the idea of having a lumbar puncture. I was feeling same ol same ol...a little better, but not worse. At least until Sunday. I took Lyss to her basketball camp, it was a very hot day, but was doing ok. Just a bit of a headache on the top of my head, so took some tylenol and it got better. I took a little nap and woke up feeling better. Went to dinner and then was watching tv, then wanted to get something in the kitchen, got up, turned on the light and then had the weirdest vision changes ever. When I would move my head, it would look like the light was flickering on my peripheral vision. Almost like a ceiling fan was going around near the light, causing me to see a light flickering image. The next morning woke up and the vision thing was better, but then I had a different problem. At work all day long I had the feeling like I was drunk. It wasn't a true dizziness or vertigo, just a wooziness. If I had drank 6 beers, it would be understandable, but I hadn't drank in several days. The next day that was better, but last few days, my right leg has been much worse. I have every sensation imaginable in my right leg. A deep aching pain at times, numbness/tingling, pins/needles, hot/cold spots, and a feeling like things are literally wiggling around rapidly inside my leg. Then it doesn't take much for my muscles to burn sooo bad. just walking up a flight of stairs kills my leg muscles..they burn and hurt like I ran a marathon or something. Also, when I walk, I think my gait is normal, but it "feels" like my right leg doesn't lift quite as high as the other at times. I have analyzed it myself, and they appear to be normal. Its just my perception that is messed up. These sensations are driving me crazy, both physically and mentally. I know that whatever is causing them, is not normal and it scares me. I called the neurologist, requesting my results but haven't heard yet. I think on monday I will be calling to report my worsening in symptoms. Today I was grocery shopping and while I was bagging up my groceries, that leg was burning sooo bad I was having a hard time standing still. I was rubbing it and moving it and trying to bear weight on the other leg, just trying to stop the burning. Now I have a left sided sciatic nerve problem, perhaps from favoring my right leg. But I'm tired of all the pain and weird sensations. I have been taking tylenol and ibuprofen daily. I am really truly scared now.
