I should say I am prob a bit of a health anxiety person but this is a real thing with real symptoms. I am trying to not talk to anyone in rl about it though I have voiced some concerns to share.
I have already been to the gp , to be honest I’m quite worried but I’m trying not to voice it irl.
Last year I noticed my heels were numb. No pain. Just numb. Went to gp, gp said oh that’s weird. Had a Doppler thing done on legs to check circulation. Came back fine. Didn’t Persue it.
Fast forward to May this year- heels remain numb, now I also have numb little toes. This has been joined by tingling/ numbness in fingertips, also running down the side of little fingers onto side of hand. And a faint tingling of lips is ow happpening too. It’s All the time. It doesn’t stop and start. I can feel. It’s not completely completely numb. More altered sensation, like when you’ve been anaesthetised. And are just starting to get the feeling back iyswim. No other real symptoms as such although I would say that I have some brain fog/confusion that comes and goes, a bit like the start of a migraine. Very occasionally I get this thing when I’m walking where my legs sort of ‘collapse’. I am often extremely fatigued by mid afternoon/evening.
Went to see a different doctor. He is sending me to see. Neurologist. No idea how long wait will be or what they will be looking for. I have blood being taken on monday. I think this maybe a long drawn out thing with no real outcome. I am really scared it’s gling to be a degenerative condition. Simply because it’s already getting worse. And the doctors are puzzled by it.
I am 42, a bit overweight, otherwise healthy. Any ideas???
