neurologic and podiatry symptoms

[thud1]

I am having many symptoms that I did not link together initially. In November I went to the doctor feeling fatigued. I would get off of work and struggle to stay awake while driving. I would have to go over my parents house and just sleep. This week on or a while I had complete blood work done and it came back mostly fine. Nothing of concern to the doctor. A few items were a point or two over or under the reference range. I then begin having ear and eye pin the next month. I was prescribed over the counter decongestant. In early December I woke and could not bend my toes. I went to my PCP and she prescribed an xray which came back normal. A few weeks later, I went to a orthopedic doctor who kept giving me the run around and never did anything for me so I got a second opinion. The second doctor examined me and felt my foot trouble was neurological; shock at the bottom of the foot, toes witch when trying to bed them, and one leg is much bigger than the other. I went back to my PCP who examined me and felt the same thing. The both felt I was showing signs of MS. So, I went to a neurologist who sent me to a podiatrist to rule out planter's faciitis and Morton's neuroma. The podiatrist said I have a neuroma. He gave me a 6 day course of prednisone. I had an incident that sent me back to the neurologist. I was showering put warm water on my face and I lose clear vision it was like the static of a tv was in front of my eyes and my hearing went far away. I remember it being painful. I was dizzy and felt flushed.I sat until it passed. My vision came back first. M hearing came back second and was ringing really loud. I remained dizzy for a week plus. The neurologist ordered an eeg and mri after that incident. I get results on 4/3. Meanwhile I went back to the podiatrist and he put me on a walking cast. The prednisone made me feel yucky while taking it and the week after completing the 6 da dose, but thereafter I have noticed an improvement in the face pain stabbing eye, ear, and behind the ear pain, migraines, and the stiffness and dizziness. Also the fatigues has gotten better. I am noticing more of the symptoms are starting to come back. Finally, my foot is always cold like it is in an ice bucket and the skin on my big toe is now cracked where as before all of this and the other foot is very smooth and soft. The skin has just start to change on my foot like a month ago. I have jumping nerves or muscles in various parts of my body, stiff and soreness, fatigue, pan in my face, neck, head, ears, eyes, and behind my ear. Please help me figure out what is going on with me so I can get the care I need before anything else happens. I have been to an eye doctor and I don't have eye neuritis.

Hi Thud - welcome to our group.

Many of our members have visual issues that make reading large blocks of text virtually impossible. I've taken the liberty of breaking your post up a bit.

Well, I'm no expert, that's for sure... but I was having a lot of ankle and wrist pain... and random MS symptoms... also had a high ACE blood test... look up neurosarcoidosis - it seems to fit much of what you described.
