Hello. I'm a 48 year old female and have had many health issues the past 5 years . I'm desperate and this is ruining my quality of life. I have thyroid disease since my early twenties , diag with Celiac disease 5 years ago and had a bad stroke in May of 2012. I've been to every doctor and specialists in my area. I suffer bad tingling in my legs always, but worse the week before my period and during. The last few months the life is sucked out of me and had to go to the ER last month because I was in bed for 7 days with no energy, brain fog, dizzy, nausea + flurries in my vision. They took blood did a cat scan and found nothing! Went home and went to see my neurologist who has overseen my symptoms the past 4 years. He said I need another MRI which I will have end of month. Today I woke up feeling exhausted and the same symptoms as I had last month. Can't even get out of bed. I'm near that time of month and the tingling in my legs and no energy is back. My husband wants me to go the ER again and I refuse , because I know what the answer will be. As I'm laying in my bed with tears writing this to a complete stranger , Im Begging for help ! I'm so tired of people saying I look so good and I'm beautiful, but I feel like an elderly lady inside. PLEASE , I don't want to spend another 7 days in bed and honestly don't know where to turn. What could this be???
