Guest guest Posted June 11, 2004 Report Share Posted June 11, 2004 NP I will give all who knows me an update soon. Been ill alot. In memory of my Daddy ph & Mommy both died from smoking.In your travels if you know someone that is in need of a caring touch, is sick, dying, has lost someone to death please go to this website http://www.angelsforhope.org and have an angel sent to them. -- neurological symptoms I'm after some advice. I've been having terrible pins and needles in my lower arms and hands, lower legs and feet. It keeps me awake particularly at night but can occur anytime of day or night. I'm also getting massive migraine headaches that come on instantly I try to orgasm (sorry to those people who may be offended by this topic but it is really important to me) and last then for up to 3 days. I spoke to my G.P. about all these symptoms. She then spoke to my immunologist and they think it is all linked to my autoimmune. They had me do a blood flow test and that came out fine. They then sent me to a neurologist yesterday for a test of my nerves in those areas. He said there was no permanent damage as yet but said that it was typical symptoms for A.I. conditions. My autoimmune has already attacked my digestive system, my joints and now my nervous system. The medication I'm on has also brought on high blood pressure, cholesterol, and diabetes. However the neurologist wouldn't elaborate on what the likely outcome of this nervous attack would lead to. He just said he expected it would get a lot worse unless they were able to control the autoimmune condition itself (which seems like an impossible situation at present). What I'm wondering is - what does anyone on this list know about these symptoms? Does anyone else have them? Where do they lead to? Is there anything else I can do for them besides taking my current medication of prednisone, Arava ( & I suspect I will also be going back on my Mesasal when I visit the immunologist next Friday)? Could the prednisone actually be aggravating the nervous system? I'm much better when I actually know all the information rather than being kept in the dark so I'd appreciate anything you can tell me. (((Hugs))) Robyn Find local movie times and trailers on Yahoo!
