In January I sat down to have a few guylian, my mouth, tongue and nose went numb, followed within the hour with right sided lower leg and lower arm numbness.

Went to gp, must just be stressed or anxious. I am absolutely 100% NOT. Went to a&e 5 days later when I literally couldn't feel my face, hand or foot. Nowt on bloods except low folic acid. Got the tabs, numbness receded over the following 4 or so weeks. Felt normal and good again.

April, chilling at home, just about to go water my garden. Calf goes numb, followed by right foot and hand again. Blood tests, vit d is low.

April is when the dizziness started, I cannot function as a normal adult let alone a parent of 4. Sitting, standing, lying, walking, nothing makes a difference, dizzy as fuck 24/7.

I'm usually so fiercely independent and fairly private, not now, I'm crying to the drs to help me and I've had to ask my dh to come home a few times or youngest dcs friends dad to sit with me several times, effectively parenting me and my children, lucky he'sa good friend too. It's completely ruining my life.

Filled in yet another econsult last night, Friday 630pm cut off it said and no reply, unlike them tbf. But I am so fucking angry and upset, I NEED someone to help me.

What can I do? Scotland btw

I should add that I'm a typically healthy 34yo, had pneumonia and collapsed lung two years ago because I thought I just had flu Shock

Where else can I turn to? I KNOW there's something wrong with me and I need it fixed or an answer asap

Hi OP, absolutely keep pushing your GP but if you are prepared to go privately you could search for a functional medical doctor. They look for the root causes of illness and consider diet and lifestyle too.

I'd be keeping a symptom diary. If you get nowhere do you have funds to go private e.g. brain MRI scan?

I have had a collapsed lung, different cause. Are you fit now? Flowers
