Update: day 23
I went to a neurologist and they conducted an EEG, 3 other tests on my temples and neck, pulse, balance. I got blood work done. I'm going back for a nerve conduction test and an MRI. She prescribed me a low dose seizure med and .5 mg klonopin for anxiety. She said that she thinks I will get through this. I find the results from the other tests sometime this week.
My new symptoms are localized headaches, some feel like jabbing and some are just lingering all day. I feel random pains in my body (feet, hands, side of spine) that are there one hour and then not the next. I still feel not myself. Yesterday I thought I was dying, chest pains, my throat felt like it was closing up. I looked it up and I'm not allergic to anything so I guess it was anxiety. The weird thing is, I don't feel "anxious" but I guess from the time I wake up to the time I go to sleep I'm convinced I'm gonna die on the spot so my body is.
I was scared but I took a klonopin and went on a 3 hour walk outside with my friend to relieve some anxiety because I saw the night ending with me in the hospital. I felt slightly better and I ate dinner. We did gentle yoga and I put my legs up the wall.. after my whole entire legs went to pins and needles from my feet to above my knees.
I can't believe this is my life. I've been confiding in some good friends and I've seen some good and not so good doctors. But here I go day 23...
