At a loss, multiple consultations still no answer...any idea?

The only medication I'm taking is metoprolol and it's 25 mg in the morning and 25 mg in the evening.

I'm very hesitant on getting any pharmaceutical antidepressants or anxiety. I need to find out why I have all these persistent progressively getting worse neurological symptoms that have no rhyme no reason and have no trigger for them just occurring out of the blue everyday.

The doctor never prescribed any nerve medication for everything including my muscle twitches throughout my body He just said it's benign fasciculation syndrome and I need to go get a hobby or go do yoga or go learn meditation etc but he said it's benign and I just need to learn to live with all the muscle twitching so I have no medicine for that either.

i'm very relieved to hear your doctors haven't been pushing meds because that in itself can be the cause of many "extras". And kudos to you for not wanting to be on them.. Your doctor's holistic approach is a smart one although having been there, I understand completely how sucky that feels when you have discomforts and symptoms and just want help.

As hard as this is to hear...once you navigate testing and results...it may come down to chronic conditions and understanding how to gain acceptance and learn how to manage for a better path forward. Central Sensitization Syndrome really seems to line up with all you describe.

The confusion, anxiety and frustration is actually fueling your fire. What do you do to calm yourself?

In pain rehab, I learned the 5 P's:

Pause
Process
Perspective
Patience
Plan

Hi. I’m Joann and I was in metropolol for a short time. I started having all kinds of Neuro symptoms including trouble walking. A doctor told me metropolol can cause these problems. I’ve heard from several people taking metropolol that they are concerned with the drug.
I had to have physical therapy a few times to get back to walking again.
