Hi everyone,
I'm new to this sight. I feel like I can't "talk" about my symptoms anymore, because I feel like at this point everyone has tuned me out. Two months ago, I was supporting my family of four with my career, I haven't worked since, might lose my job because I've used up all of my FMLA, not making any money because I've used up all of my benefit time, I have two boys that I can't do the things I want to with on summer break because of financial and physical conditions, and if I have to tell one more doctor my symptoms I'm going to scream. Here I go anyway....my symptoms are entire body numbness, loss of feeling in both of my lower legs, EXTREME fatigue, headaches, when I walk it feels like my knees are tied together. Neurologist is sending me to a university neurologist because he doesn't treat these cases. Brain MRI shows "non-specific" lesions. EMG shows slower than normal responses. I feel like these doctors just don't want to take the responsibility of making a diagnosis. Waiting for my primary to give me some direction. What do I do next? I feel like I'm sitting here at home waiting for an answer. For a person who worked full time it's very difficult to sit here and wait....not knowing what will happen with my life is the worst!
