Feeling Weird

Hi there. I am new here and ran across some comments here that rang true to me while googling some of my symptoms. I am currently undergoing some testing for severe migraines with aura and will have an mri in a couple weeks.  I'm scared to death because I'm afraid of what it will show, but on the other hand, I am desperate to feel better. I should mention I am also a 2 time cancer survivor and in remission for 2 1/2 years now.  This all started with some neuropathy in limbs very common with chemo. I was attributing all these new weird symptoms to chemo and to forced menopause. It would come and go but then I began experiencing vertigo, sometimes severe, and bone pain that would come and go and seemed to cycle.  My vision has also been slowly changing and I was  noticing that patterns bothered me to look at or mini-blinds. I had 3 distinct episodes of migraine auras as well. Now since October I have been experiencing debilitating migraines with facial pins and needles (not paralysis) which have progressed to affecting random other areas of my body- either total numbness or pins and needles feeling.  My vision issues continue to worsen or change and many days include severe eye pain like electric shocks. Many days my limbs and body in general also feel very heavy like I'm weighed down or like my head doesn't connect to my body somehow.  There are so many random symptoms that so far no one has been able to help me. I've been to an ENT and an optometrist with no results. It doesn't help that I also have cancer follow up appts to handle and am now living abroad! I pray that it's not MS and maybe just a simple vitamin deficiency. Many of the posts on lyme disease seem to describe me exactly, but reading more into that, it sounds like a total nightmare and not a simple round of antibiotics. I just want some support that I'm not the only one who feels this way and who feels consistently crappy! I just want to feel good and live my life to the fullest for my young son and family. I survived cancer and pray that I don't have another battle to be won.
