I am a very healthy 30 year old woman. I avoid doctors and any form of medication. I had some episodes of physical weakness, numbness, tingling hands and legs, and random sharp pains over the past few years which I sincerely believed were "normal". During the past year my symptoms got singificantly worse. I saw my eye doctor multiple times due to severe vision loss and seeing shadows in my vision and was told each time that I had optic neuritis. After the 3rd episode (which followed a trip to the ER because it was accomanied by total numbness in one side of my face and severe pain in the back of my head), I was refered to an opthamologist. He confirmed that it was again optic neuritis and felt I likely had MS. The eye twitch which had been pretty much nonstop for 6 months was deemed a part of the neurological issues I was having. Against my better judgement, I was sent on to a neurologist who immediately jumped the gun and acted as if I was dying. Neurological exam showed a significant loss of feeling in my legs and feet along with generalized weakness all over. (I never realized any of this). Over the course of a month, I nearly lost my ability to walk, and my vision worsened. The eye twitch along with other muscle twitches got worse. I lost bladder control as well. I was sent for a brain MRI, which to the neuro's surprise was "normal". A spinal MRI (thoracic) was also "normal" and a lumbar puncture showed nothing with the exception of low IGA. All bloodwork was fine except for ANA elevated 1:320 with a normal sed rate. The neuro (who had been all worked up and practically calling me stupid for not coming in sooner) has now determined that nothing is wrong, and he doesn't need to see me again (even though my symptoms aren't fully resolved). I am perfectly fine with going on with my life and never seeing another doctor again. But my question is what is the explanation for the symptoms I am having?
