Dr. Kantor:
I am 51 and have for months been experiencing what the doctor calls "chorea," treated now with clonazepam. Other symptoms that are wrosening are immense fatigue and feelings of weakness in my left arm and both legs below the knees. Because I have a pacemaker, I can't have an MRI. Tests done include a CAT scan, two EEG's and a PET scan, along with lots of blood and urine work. All "normal." Although the clonazepam has helped the chorea, the other symptoms remain. I also take Provigil for the fatigue. My current doctors insist that I don't need further testing. My sister was dagnosed with MS in her thirties and is treated currently (she's 54). I have two aunts with Parkinson's. Would I benefit from further tests in your opinion? I am at times miserable---more often now than not. I appreciate your advice.
