auto-immune?

[julieswhimsies]

I am a 59 year old woman.  I have been experiencing intense tingling sensations throughout my body, heat intolerance, fatigue, dizziness, insomnia, and increased salivation.  I had a fall in Jan. 2010 with a hairline fracture at C3 and concussion.  I experienced a "thunderclap" headach in May 2010.  I was sent to the ER.  The MRI showed nothing.  The LP showed only that I had a possible virus.  I was also given ECG...and stress test.  It is not cardiac.  I have been to my family practice physician at least 4 times with these symptoms.  As the hospital neurological tests were negative, he is telling me that this is psychosomatic.  I do have a history of PTSD.  I have recovered and am very happy and stable.  These symptoms are present 24/7...even waking me up at night.  My PCP says it cannot be MS.  He refuses to refer me.  What now?

It could be anxiety and/or depression.  All of your symptoms are quite common with these disorders.  Check out the anxiety and depression forums for more info if interested.
