Thank you for your detailed post. I´ll answer your question one by one.
1. EEG: they put the wires on my head and just asked me to keep my eyes shut for five minutes or so. Despite the fact that I experienced three tremors during it, they said that they found nothing.
2. MRI: was done of my head, neck and chest, not the spine. inflammatory diseases that affect nerves and muscles like MS were not check, as I was given a thumbs up by the neurologist after the EEG and MRI scans.
3. No, no water leakage or anything like that. Also, my symptoms stay even if I spend days away from home. However, here´s something IMPORTANT: I consumed a spoon of honey and had a massive allergic reaction to it (mild breathing issue, but felt as if my facial skin was swollen, and had minor vision problems, but strong hearing issues). I was prescribed a short steroids therapy. All my symptoms relented after two weeks, but four weeks after that allergy attack, I developed the symptoms referred to in my opening post!
Could the honey be the cause?
4. Gluten issues have been ruled out. Funnily, my gastrointestinal issues get worse with vegetable consumption, as it causes an increase of too much intestinal activity, and hence bloating.
5. Surgeries: one in 2005 on my fractured arm, one on abdomen in 2010 due to hiatal hernia (all well with that now as revealed by a CT scan, so that´s not the cause here). So, both happened ages ago.
6. I chose Romeo as my username because I´m an admirer of Shakespeare. Haha! As for anxiety, I was personally the first person to see it that way, but three mental health specialists have completely denied that by now, especially given how the medicines that they give me worsen my issues. Also, anxiety should at least be calmed by Benzodiazepines, no? Here, even they´re ineffective. I don´t deny it, but I don´t see any success that way either.
7. PTSD or incident etc. in life: well, nothing beyond the honey allergy attack story shared above!
Also, thank you for your other suggestions. Really valued. I´m based in Germany, by the way.
Regards.
