Help

I am currently undergoing tests for a series of neurological problems I have had for about 10 months.  These include, limb and facial spasms, slurred speach, double vision, numbness and extreme fatigue.  More recently I have begun to have involuntary sharp intakes of breath.  Am I going mad ??

Can anyone help?

Thank you for taking the time out to give me some information on my symptoms. I am due to see a neurologist soon.  It sounds as if diagnosis can be difficult. My symptoms vary in degree from day to day hence i wondered if i was in fact losing the plot.  Talking of which my memory can be pretty dismal at times too!

Thank you and kind regards.

Hi,
The most probable cause related to Muscle spasms, Fatigue, Slurred speech, Breathing problems, Double vision and Numbness is Multiple Sclerosis. It is an autoimmune disease which affects brain and spinal cord. The condition is progressive and degenerative. Please go for an MRI of brain and spine and consult a neurologist. MRI may not be specific and diagnosis may be based on symptoms and history. Hope this helps you. Take care and regards!
