Thank you for your answer to my question(s). I have never even thought of any problem(s) with my brain, although I do sometimes think about what's causing the "loss of signal", as I call it. My father died of GBM, but our family was told it is not a familial disease, so I never thought of it after that. It was his illness and that of my mother that I left work and returned home to care for them. What complicates matters for doctors is that my hips are pinned (since childhood) and the palsy in my legs back in 1993. They have also done doppler studies, in the past, and found very good circulation, even though my hands and feet feel like ice most of the time. I can also herniate a disk by something as simple as running the vacuum around the house. I have tried to remain upbeat, but the pain, lack of sleep and constant refusals for any aid are difficult and somewhat depressing at times.
Thank You, again, for your response.
Hi,
Thanks for posting.
Your symptoms could be due to nerve compression in the lower back and neck, peripheral neuropathy and peripheral vascular diseases like Reynaud’s disease. At the same time it is important to get a CT scan or MRI of brain done to rule out other neurological diseases.
This requires further evaluation please see a neurologist as soon as you can.
Let us know if you have any other questions.
