Pinched nerve or MS

[The_Meow_Meow]

Since I was 21 I have had periods where I would have muscle spasms that would come & go. Once it was accompanied with vision loss that lasted less than an hour every morning for no more than a week. It was like a grey blob on my eyes & then it was gone. I have also noticed that my memory is not so good anymore & concentration is kinda hard. I have problems typing/working because my hands don't wanna do what I tell them. I 36 now & the spasms have come back again, but this time they worse. I have this tingling down both my arms & shooting pains in my fingers, bottom of feet & tummy, & my hands don't want to move sometimes & my left hand goes to sleep for no reason. I have lost patial hearing in my right ear (that could be allegies btw) & I am having problems swallowing & am out of breath a lot.Granted, I used to smoke, but I quite half a year ago. My legs have been giving out & I can't jog anymore. This is effecting my job & my play.  I know this isn't normal & my hubby is like its just a pinched nerve, but is it? Thanks to anyone who answers. I just wanna head up before I talk to my doctor.

Hey The_Meow_Meow,

I took a look at your profile and I noticed in your Photo
something that drew my attention. Your outer  right eyebrow
appears to be thin. Of course it is impossible for me to tell for sure
because of lighting conditions and  your light blond hair.

If this is the case, this is one of the classic symptoms of hypothyroidism.
If you want to follow up on this on your own, you may look into Dr. Barnes
Basal Temperature Test, very straight forward and simple to do.
Just follow the simple instructions-do a search for it- exactly as given!

If positive it means that you are 99% hypothyroid -and you will know within a short time- but the medical tests to verify it, often are inaccurate, as they test only TSH levels -thyroid stimulating hormone- T3 & T4 thyroid levels in the blood, which does not reflect thyroid function in the cells!
They need to test free T3 & free T4, as well as reverse T3. Most doctors
and Endos don't bother, leaving many hypothyroid patients in limbo!

It is one of the gaps in the medical system  as I mentioned earlier and should you want to find out more, please go to 'stop the thyroid madness website'.

My wife and daughter both have low thyroid function, my daughter cannot treat her low thyroid before she treats her adrenal exhaustion first,
which may take her up to 2 years! It can get really complicated.

If you ever need any help with these issues, let me know.

Love & Light

You probably did not realize  what Pathogenic Mycoplasma infection entails.
According to DR Shyh-Ching Lo, senior researcher at The Armed Forces Institute of Pathology and one of America's top Mycoplasma researchers, this disease agent causes many illnesses including AIDS, cancer, chronic fatigue syndrome, Crohn's colitis, Type I diabetes, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, Wegener's disease and collagen-vascular diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis and Alzheimer's.

I also mentioned "undetectable", meaning that conventional tests will not detect the presence of this.
In the same category of this type of infection, I will include Borelliosis ( Lyme disease) and all the co-infections such as Babesia, Ehrlichia, Bartonella and others.

So please look into this and take your time to check out Dr. Garth Nicolson's wonderful work in both research and treatment of such conditions.

If you have had no answers from your doctors and all your tests, over a long period of time, I urge you to look at other areas, as what i suggest here.

I am just here to offer some helpful suggestions.
You are still very young and you deserve a healthier life.

There are many areas where conventional medicine does not have answers.
Having gone through this myself long time ago and now my own daughter,
suffering for a number of years with a wide range of serious symptoms,
without any resolve from her doctors suggestions -mostly shots in the dark to try various drugs- just today! got diagnosed by her naturopathic doctor
with adrenal exhaustion, a condition not recognized by conventional medicine, something that defies my logic.
I had suspected she had some type of adrenal impaiment, however, no doctor recognized this and unfortunately it progressed to stage 3, one step before the final stage which I think is irreversible.

So, it saddens me to see people suffering, knowing that many
may be suffering unnecessarily, b.c. of gaps and deficiencies of our medical systems.

Thank you for allowing me to vent, but in doing so, I hope that I gave you a
different perspective, perhaps allowing you to open up to other possibilities.

This is not intended as a substitute for medical advice.

Best wishes.

Love & Light
Niko

Thx for your comment. I have seen a doctor & they are saying the same thing & have me scheduled for a CAT tomorrow. Also, I found what you have said about your daughter to be really encouraging. Thx again. God bless ^-^

Hey _Meow_Meow!

You seem to be having a few health challenges my dear and you are so young!
There are a few possibilities.
For now check out Dr Garth Nicolson's website (he's partime expert on MedHelp). I can't give you the link b.c of forum rules, but by searching under his name will give out his website. He's the world's top expert in undetectable pathogenic infectious conditions.
I will review your post later-I'm still at work- and come up with some ideas
for your condition.

Love & Light

Sorry for your troubles.  I am definitely no expert on MS but my 29 year old daughter was diagnosed with MS two years ago.  She had many of the same symptoms you have experienced.  See a Neurologist who will probably perform MRI or CAT scan of the brain and spine looking for lesions, spinal tap and a multitude of lab tests, not to mention a complete neurological exam.  My daughter hasn't experienced any vision issues but she has relapse and remit form of MS.  Early diagnosis and treatment is key in minimizing flares and symptoms.  My daughter is doing so well, they actually told her, after two years it is benign.  She takes Copaxone injections and has since the diagnosis.  There is a new drug on the market now that is supposed to be great and it comes in pill form.  My daughter has done so well with Copaxone, she opted not to changed to this new medication.  Try to find a neurologist that specializes in MS if possible, like at a large teaching hospital.  My daughter lives in Dallas and is lucky enough to have an MS Specialist at UT Southwestern.  Good luck and keep a positive attitude.  My daughter is also VP of development at the National MS Society.  If you should need information along those lines, do not hesitate to contact someone at an MS Society near you.  They can be worlds of help and bountiful knowledge
