Physical Manifestations......

Post by DanishLass » Mon May 30, 2005 2:52 pm

Sorry last post of the day!!!!



I originally saw a neurologist for other weird symptoms. I have had tremor in my arms and hand for a while. And just a month ago I then started to have pins, needles , and burning feeling throughout my extremities and muscle twitches and spasms when at rest. The doctor started asking a ton of questions and it eventually lead to a sleep study where I was diagnosed with severe apnea. She says when someone is sleeping as bad as I have been, she wouldn't be surprised to see these symptoms in me. Have any of you heard of apnea manifesting itself in this way? I am sceptical.

I don't know....

Those symptoms could be caused by a lot of different neurological disorders - anything from spinal cord injury to polio, MS, MG, ALS - all sorts of things.

Are you old enough to have had a mild case of polio?

Have you had an MRI of your head and spine done?

Have you seen a nice gentle (not a "bone-cracker") chiropractor?

Good luck in your search.
