Thanks so much Celia. I have seen one neurologist. She checked my reflexes and did a physical exam. She said my muscles are strong and I haven’t got any weakness. She said she is happy to see me again if my symptoms progress but that my symptoms could be stress and anxiety. I don’t think so as I am becoming stressed because of them. What is an EMG? I will do some more research. My blood tests says my B12 levels are good so not deficient in those. The Dr says my bloods are all fine and because of this they won’t test for anything else. I am worried that my nerves are misfiring or going haywire and will burn out eventually? I’m not sure if that is even possible but it reminds me of a battery running flat but I don’t feel weak. It’s very strange I can still swim 40 lengths and cycle etc. Never experienced anything like it in my life. Thanks so much for your advice I really appreciate it. I may try and see another neurologist xx

I was much like you. I was working out, active, eating right, strong, felt great, but had various odd symptoms. Great news your B12 is good.
Ref, reflexes….I did well on them initially, but the second neurologist used a distraction technique and discovered that made a difference. That was not done the first time.
I was made to feel that my anxiety was driving my problems, but I now know that was not true. My instincts were right. The cause for my systematic ailments should have been caught, long ago. So, be your own best advocate. Be proactive. I sought help years ago, wish I had been more insistent. Please post what you find out.
EMG are a series of tests where they measure electrical activity in the nerves in your affected body part. It can detect certain kinds of nerve damage. Mine were normal, but that didn’t mean I was clear.
