Just wanted to share my current symptoms while I wait for my brain MRI results (my spine MRI is in 2 weeks). Just a bit of my medical history, I have PCOS and hypothyroidism with Autoimmune Hashimoto’s. My PCOS is medically ignored because my Dr says “metformin is only if you’re trying to get pregnant” and my only other option is birth control which I refuse to be on. My thyroid meds are about to be switched from Synthroid (synthetic T4) to a form of desiccated thyroid (natural T3) because my numbers have been swinging wildly as if one minute my meds are too high and the next too low yet my own symptoms do not change in the slightest. I should also note I am 38 years old, 5’3”, and currently 275lbs (but I’ve been heavier and had no pain and barely any symptoms)…I’ve struggled with my weight since the birth of my first child when I was 20 despite leading a consistently moderately lifestyle until the past 2 years when my symptoms started snowballing. -Extreme Fatigue - 2+ yrs -Back Pain (Lumbar) - 1.5 yrs (off & on for 16 yrs) -Brain Fog/Memory Problems (poor concentration/word recall difficulty) - 2+ yrs -Heat Intolerance - 2+ yrs -Numbness & Tingling in Limbs & Extremities - 2+ yrs -Dizziness/Vertigo/Lightheaded - 2+ yrs -Neck Pain - 20 yrs (old neck injury) -Mood Changes (Depression/Anxiety) - 3 week-long depressive episodes at 17 & 18 (Jan ‘01 & ‘02), on Celexa 1.5 yrs at 21-22 (late ‘04 - early ‘06), 3 week-long depressive episode at 35 then on Fluoextine (July 2019 - Oct 2021), now Cymbalta (starting Feb 2022), switching to Wellbutrin in 2 weeks (I can’t be on anything weight promoting as I need to lose weight) -Shortness of Breath - since age 13 -Bladder/Bowel Issues - 1.5 yrs -Poor Balance/Coordination - 2 yrs -Speech Issues (stumbling over words) - 2 yrs (stumble over words/mix words up) -Sleep Apnea/Restless Leg - 6 months -Sensitivity to Sunlight (skin) & Light (eyes) - 2+ yrs -Cold Extremities - 2+ yrs -Blood Pooling in Hands & Feet (after bath/shower) - 2 yrs -Anemia - since I was 15 (history of, going for my 2nd iron infusion of the year today!) -Headache/Migraine - since I was 15 -Jaw Stiffness - 2 yrs -Digestive Problems - 2 yrs -Malar “Butterfly” Rash on Face - 18 yrs -Sides Hurting (like a stitch &/or band) - 3+ months -Blurry Vision - 6+ months off & on -Difficulty Walking - 1.5 yrs (off & on for 16) -Muscle Weakness (all 4 limbs) - 2+ yrs -Muscle Stiffness (lower back, hips, & legs) - 1.5 yrs -Muscle Spasms/Cramps (lower back) - 3+ months -Excessive Sweating - 2+ yrs -Excessive Thirst - 2 yrs -Dry Mouth - 2 yrs -Dry & Itchy Eyes - 2+ yrs -Itchy Inner Ear - 1+ yrs -Extreme Itchiness - 2+ yrs -General Malaise - 2+ yrs -Excessive Yawning - 2+ yrs -Involuntary Muscle Stretching - 1+ month -Butterfingers (dropping things constantly) - 1+ yrs -Cold/Wet Sensation - 1+ month -Nails (brittle, little to no lanulas, pits/depressions, vertical ridges) - 2+ yrs The most debilitating of my symptoms are the back pain & spasms/cramps, extreme fatigue, my whole body feels weak, and the slightest bit of activity makes me feel overheated from my core out with excessive sweating and feeling generally ill when it happens (which is at least once daily but often more). Am I crazy for thinking MS might be the answer(problem) to all of the above?
