That's a very odd series of symptoms. Sounds neurological to me, but I'm not a doctor...er...but then seeing as the doctors are shit...what are we left with? Research, reading between the lines on the internet, self medication and supplements, telling doctors what we want them to prescribe, ie. bullying them.So sorry you guys have experienced the same thing I've gone through. I've been exceptionally healthy my entire life. This is the first year I've been to a doctor in decades. Severe peripheral neuropathy, muscle spasms over my entire body, balance issues, tinnitus, urinary retention and incontinence, blood pooling in my legs all came on suddenly during February this year.
Urgent Care doctor prescribed me a muscle relaxant, neurologist told me I don't eat enough salt, and GP told me I have anxiety. I denied each of these things, but that's all they left me with. Botox caused my extensive nerve damage. Being abandoned by the medical community during the one time I needed help destroyed me. It really did.
If none of us can be helped by doctors, what's left? Who's left? I've just learned to suffer silently as my muscles are eaten by the nerve damage and my teeth begin to decay.
Hugs to each of you suffering this. It's hell.
It's ironic that doctors deal with symptoms and not causes, they don't see illness as a systemic affliction that affects a whole person, rather as a bunch of unrelated symptoms, each to be dealt with separately. Unfortunately, biology doesn't work like that.
