...really use some advice...? Does anyone know what might cause these symptoms?
So in september of last year I became ill, I was tired all the time, i couldn't sleep at night at all, in the morning after maybe 3 hours of sleep I would wake up and my body felt stiff. This was a common occurrence since august and then at the end of september I had what we are calling episodes where I took a nap and when I woke up I was dizzy (felt like the room was spinning), I couldn't stand up without losing balance and I couldn't speak. I knew what I wanted to say but I couldn't get the words to come out and when I did I would stutter, also my legs and wrist and hands would go numb and tingle and sometimes just throb in pain. After going to neurology and being admitted to the hospital to have several test done the doctors came up with nothing.
Recently I have been having new symptoms, my hair is falling out, and I have been having short headaches where I get sharp pains in my head for a few minutes, and I get these painful sensations in the back of neck right at my hair line that feels like pressure... I would really like to know other peoples thoughts on this because the doctors have no clue. They were thinking MS, or Lupus but the lupus test came back negative and the only effective test for MS is a spinal tap and they won't do it. I have a doctors appointment Jan 9th and I would like some ideas to throw out to the doctors.
