I’ve had strange neuro type symptoms on and off for several months . Previous to that I had odd symptoms with my bladder (urine retention) and before that it was pelvic pain .
I’ve had scans for bladder and pelvis and they have found some issues but nothing in proportion to what I’m feeling. There were often links to feeling stressed out . GP said she could identify patterns linked to work and stuff .
The latest thing is feeling like my hands, arms and legs are weirdly weak and can’t support me when I stand . I can walk and stand and climb stairs fine but I feel like I’m balancing on two twigs . Legs feel like they’re crossed when they aren’t, feel like they’re made of glass and like they’ll fold underneath me .
My arms go funny when typing as if I suddenly can’t get them to work, also get the crosses over feeling but I’m dyspraxic anyway - so some right/left stuff is my normal iyswim.
I can walk and stand absolutely fine, it just feels weird .
My mum has a long, long history of functional neurology . Neurology and psychiatry said its likely that she probably has autism in the background - one probably linked to the other .
I’m permanently stressed and anxious and exhausted . I’m always frowning and have a constant tension headache . I’m often so totally overwhelmed that I sit and do nothing at all . I’m deficient in a few things (B12, folate and vitD) which GP has given me meds for .
I haven’t mentioned the legs/arms things to GP as a) frightened that she’ll pack me off to hospital and b) I think this is all in my head anyway .
Back of my mind keeps saying; but what if it’s MS, or something ...
Can anxiety really cause all this - basically is it OK to assume this is just something else my brain has latched onto and started worrying about, AIBU not to go to GP?
