Hello,
I'm suffering from lots of weird symptoms and I'm terrified it's MS or MND. I started noticing some of them in early pregnancy recently (pins and needles) so had put it down to that and hormones/early carpal tunnel as I had that with DD, but I've since had a miscarriage and symptoms have ramped up, over a few days really...
Pins and needles in both hands when waking up through the night/in the morning
Buzzing, fizzy feeling in hands
Random tingling feelings including random tingly itchy feeling above top lip at night
Pins and needles/numbness in left toes when getting out of bed but just for a few paces
Muscle twitches randomly all over my body, calves, thighs, behind knees, biceps, forearms, fingers, tummy, neck - basically everywhere. These are worse
Mildly stiff muscles and back pain (back pain really bad at the moment from lifting toddler badly)
Foggy brain and difficulty concentrating.
I'm really scared. My GP is good and I have blood tests Thursday for tons of things but I don't think it's a vitamin deficiency as I eat really healthily; she's testing for thyroid and diabetes as well. She did say that it's very likely to be stress and anxiety after suffering from two miscarriages in a short space of time and juggling work and childcare with covid. I told her my fears about degenerative illness and she said 'it's very unlikely' and 'it won't be'.
I don't notice them as much if I'm distracted with DD or working but at night going to sleep and in the evenings they are so pronounced.
Has anyone suffered from these things and it turned out to be anxiety and stress? Or do these things not actually sound like MS or MND? I feel totally tormented, I can't sleep and I'm really scared.
