Any Suggestions on What This May Be?
Question by Mom of 3: Any suggestions on what this may be?
I have had some problems for a while now…last September, I was hospitalized for body tremors. They did a CT scan, MRI, MRI with contrast and many many other tests including a Spinal Tap. Most of my test came back normal or inconclusive due to my severe tremors during testing. Also my B12 level was extremely low, and I have been on prescription B12 injections since September of 2008. I have been to 3 Neurologists. The third one (the current one) has said that my Spinal Tap was slightly abnormal which meant there is pressure on the brain somewhere. She also diagnosed me with Myoclonus Seizures. I’m on Keppra for that. The past 4 months, I’ve started having horrible unbearable headaches and she gave me Naproxen, a muscle relaxer plus a migraine med to take at the onset of the headache, Nothing seems to work. I have headaches daily, some are worse than others. I have noticed the hearing in my right ear is starting to go in and out. On top of the headaches, I have confusion with daily tasks, short term memory loss which is getting worse all the time, dizziness, balance problems, and my seizures are getting worse. I’m now starting to stare off for 20-30 seconds after a seizure which occurs 6-7 times a day. The seizure meds obviously aren’t helping. So, I bring these symptoms to my neurologist. Her response is “I think you are depressed” Let’s try depression meds. Well if muscle relaxers, migraine meds and pain meds don’t help the headaches, why would a depression med make any difference? I’m in the process of trying to find another Neurologist, I haven’t had anymore testings done, because my present Neurologist doesn’t “feel it’s necessary” I’m a 28 year old female.
Thanks for your time in reading this. I’m open to all advice and just wondering what you all think this could be. No, I’m not looking for a “online diagnosis” either. Thanks.
