Hi, Im new to this forum. I am 30 years old and have been been having the following symptons on and off for about 4 years. I was diagnosed last year with Fibromyalgia.
I have a very heavy feeling in my arms and legs, sometimes I get severe shooting deep pains in my legs that almost jerk my legs. I get tingling in my arm and right foot. I get severe bouts of vertigo that I take meclizine for. I have a pain in my right eye and a tad bit of blurred vision in it. I have had 3 MRI that all come back inconclusive. I have a few white spots that show up on the the base of my brain near the brain stem. I just another MRI on Friday because these symptons are driving me crazy. The neurologists wont diagnose me with MS because there are not enough spots on brain I guess. I am really growing tired of trying to figure out what is going on. I dont know if I should go to anothe neuro or just assume its nothing and go about my life and deal with the pain and limited function. I guess I am looking for info on where to go next and to see what any one else has gone through for a diagnosis. Thank you very much for any info..

why don't you ask for a second consultant opinion? There must be someone surely who can pinpoint this accurately. I'm on this forum because my husband has just been diagnosed with MS. All the best, persevere and I hope you get a proper diagnosis.
