I had all kinds of muscle and joint problems when my thyroid was out of whack. Saw a neuro and had an MRI as they wanted to rule out MS - in the end decided it was all autoimmune.

Thyroid?

OP - I have a connective tissue disorder with associated neuro problems and had years of this 'I'm falling apart.' I think if you make a list someone might be able to give you some insight.

Legs are doing a little better. I am upping my Vitamin D levels as I can (10 min exposure to the sun) and then at least 5,000 IUs a day. Trying to take it one day at a time. I really wish I knew what was causing all these symptoms together. I doubt anyone wants me to list them all out but I can if you're curious!

Lots of things cause tingling, and low Vit D is correlated but may be causal vs effect.

I had an MRI 3 years ago because of weird symptoms/sensations and they found a few lesions in my brain, but said they weren't in the usual location you would find lesions due to MS. I asked the neurologist what they could be from, and he said "migraines". I told him I don't get migraines and then he said, "a virus". Fast forward a few years and I am having weird symptoms again and am not sure what is going on. The other day my right leg felt like it had fallen asleep and was painfully waking up while I was driving home. Now both my legs hurt. They ache and are really uncomfortable I also have strange sensations in my chest. I think I need to see another neurologist.

I had a lung function test a few weeks ago which showed mild asthma (but with all these other symptoms I am wondering if it was just diminished lung function)? I need someone to take all this into consideration and tell me what is going on


Are you having palpitations?
