Hi all,
Long time listener, first time caller
I'm 45 years old - healthy, active, zero health problems up until about 4 years ago. I started to experiences some dizziness, not like a vertigo but more like a "not quite there" feeling. I don't know if that makes sense. Almost like a consistent alcohol buzz. Saw a neurologist, had a brain MRI (all clear). The feeling still comes and goes.
Around early 2021 started experiencing all over muscle and joint pain. Like having the flu. Back to my PCP - she did a bunch of blood work - inflammation markers, Lyme, etc. etc. (all fine). I mentioned possible fibro she said no because that would be more like an all over pain that made it so it would hurt to be touched?
April 2021 all over twitching started. Constant muscle twitches like popcorn popping under my skin. Also started experiencing muscle weakness in my right hand and right foot. Had an EMG (all clear). Eventually the weakness went away (muscle twitching still comes and goes).
Sleep is horrible - I also get a lot of restless leg at night.
2021-present - Have been back to PCP multiple times for aches, pains, tingling, numbness. Finally she told me I have health anxiety and prescribed a depression med. I'm not depressed. I am just SO frustrated by how I used to feel so great and now most of the time feel so crummy. I have two tween boys and they are fun and active and I just really have to push through to keep up with them. It's such a bummer.
A month ago the right hand and right foot weakness came back. As well as crazy muscle twitching. Like waking me up in the middle of the night movement. Also sometimes I feel like I have to slow down my speech otherwise it comes out all garbled. My fine motor in my right hand is challenging.
I'm really at a loss. I'm wondering since I had an EMG in 2021 and it was all good - should I still be reassured by that? I almost feel embarrassed to go back to the doctor because I can tell she thinks I'm nuts.
Does this sound like fibro to you guys?
Thanks in advance for any thoughts
