Ok, I have been having some weird symptoms the last couple weeks. Iam 23, I have been extremely dizzy, fatigued for no apparent reason and having tingling and numb sensations starting on my right foot, then my left… then tops of hand and last 2 fingers (pinky and ring) The neurologist doesnt seem to think it has much to do with my brain, which is good…. but he has all these ideas. I told him diabetes runs in my family BUT i have been to the drs plenty of times in the last couple yrs because of my dizzy spells i get, and my blood sugars are always wonderful. he wants to do a hemoglobin A1C test. I had this when i was pregnant. But, if my blood sugars always lookgood, what would this test tell us that a regular blood sugar test wouldnt???
he also wants me to see an ENT to see if my dizziness could be coming from my inner ear (pretty sure we checked that before too.. but k) and also scheduled an MRI of my brain.
I was cared about multiple sclerosis, but it seems to me that my symptoms are not really characteristic of MS, although I do have some other symptoms of it such as forgetting words mid-sentence… like I will be talking and know what i am about to say but then can’t seem to pull the word out of my head… that is really frustrating.
I am just trying to figure out what is going on with me right now tho…. I don’t consider myself a hypochondriac, or even close… i hate going to doctors, because in my experience they always give me the runaround and no answers… just I don’t know maybe you should try this medication, see if that will help… lol. no.
I am mainly concerned with the tingliness and numbness. it is really weird, and i have heard it could be stress-related but I don’t see how that is possible. i have been more stressed before and never went tingly or numb anywhere….
anyone with any insight would be greatly appreciated!!! thanks!
yes neuropathy has been considered, but what is causing it?????
not on any medication. I have had my hemoglobin tested when i was pregnant. my son is turning 2 next week
