Hello, I'm new to the site.
I'm a 33 year old male and for the past three years I have had constant muscle twitching, muscle spasm through out my body it came a time I could not walk and my muscles got so weak I couldn't even write my name.
It all started with a stomach ache and it did not seem to go away then on the fourth day after my right leg started to twitch it was painful but it was brief then I started getting a pain on my right side of my neck followed with muscle twitching and tremors mind you these symptoms were days apart from each other then I started getting sharp shooting pain down my right arm then followed by pins and needles. I decided to go to my gp there he looked at my symptoms and did a blood panel test and my vitamins b12 and iron was low and my cholesterol was boarder line so he gave me a b12 shot and iron supplement and rovostatin 10mg to take so all was good for four days after that my spasm and twitching came back with vengeance followed with new symptoms such as burning in my skin also my sense of smell was increased 10 folds I could of smelt what the neighbor a mile away was having for lunch.
He immediately pulled me of the meds saying it's not agreeing with me. Thus my journey from doctor to doctor and specialist to specialist began.
I've been to doctors ,specialist an the results were the same, they would say it's in your head or there go to diagnosis for doctors when they have no answer is"anxiety" .
I started trying natural remedy and still nothing. During this time my symptoms starting getting worse and new symptoms started developing, like internal tremors throughout the days together with my constant spasm and twitching then started getting rashes constant my migranes on the right side of my head constant shocking sensation in both feet while walking and finally I had shortness of breath. Also I started walking around with a 3m respirator because of my highthen sence of smell. i am also diagnosed with cholesteatoma of the ear .
So it was coming around the time I normally go for my routine check up with my E.N.T specialist. Mind you with all this going on an no answers I was depressed and didn't want to go. But my wife was very supportive during this whole ordeal giving me the incouragment to keep positive,bless her.
So the day arrived to do my check up so I got there the doc does his thing checks my ear and removes Any tissues blocking my ear drum .
So after finishing up I started telling him about my symptoms and that I have been to heart specialist, neuroligist, allergist, etc
He looks in my nose sees a polyp then I explained my symptoms of my muscles twitching and spasming etc.
He goes on and said I have allergy affecting my nervous system which in return is affecting my muscles so he places me on arius 5mg one a day he said to me take that for a month an then come back, I was like "what" can't be serious I've been to an allegist an they could not find anything wrong .
I was skeptical because of the amount of medication I was prescribed and nothing worked.
Well guys I bought it and tried it for a month an wow my twitching started to ease up also followed by my tremors also my spasms, all my symptoms gradually started easing up, it has been almost one year on the medication an my symptoms have improved drastically.
So guys I couldn't believe an E.N.T specialist picked up on my symptoms.
Don't get me wrong I still have my episodes of muscle twitching and spasm on a bad day but it's like once for the week if it does act up it's for a couple of minutes i must say it's way better than being in constant pain and twitching all over constantly.
I still do get vibration well tremors but only when I'm sleeping but it only happens when I have a hard day.
I will keep you guys posted on my progress and any changes or new symptoms.
I know you may be wondering whats the diagnosis,honestly i don't know my e.n.t only said I have allergy that affects my nerves if anyone has this and there's a cure or a better way forward I would like to know , for the mean while this is my run down of my symptoms and what help me cope. so I hope it helps someone in a similar situation. Having constant muscle weakness and spasms followed by twitching all day constantly not being able to enjoy life for three years it's hard going to doctors and not having answers or no solution it's hard it's both mentally and physically draining but guys don't give up just keep trying
