I finally seen a neurologist. He gave me a diagnoses of "action Tremor". I also got him to order an MRI of my brain... this one is for my own peace of mind. My Rhumy says the tremors are from the Cymbalta... BUT funny thing is I was having tremors long before Cymbalta and the tremors are getting worse. I guess the first time I had a tremor that was visible was 5 years ago and I was eating and my hand was shaking while bringing my fork to my mouth... the fork was all over the place... Hubby asked me why are you shaking ...I had no idea why...we kinda laughed it off and didn't think much about it. then came the leg tremors as I go down stairs...THOSE are SCARY... Before any of that in 2007 I started having floaters in my vision...I described those to my Mother who said they were optical migraines... then my vision changed... from perfect 20/20... to whatever it is now... I honestly do not remember ...lol... but I have glasses with bi-focals. Now I have almost constant blurry vision. Rubbing my left eye constantly... anyways the stuff just is weird and gradually gets worse... oh and I noticed what I call a tremor in my left eye lid when I close the left eye and keep the right open... but not in the right eye lid when I close it keeping the left open... just WEIRD. I can tell when I am going to start having all the symptoms as it seems to start with Twitching above my left eye and from that a lot of other stuff creeps in...Headaches, back pain, twitching that seems to start at the top and eventually over time work its way down to my feet, fatigue and so much more ...I guess some Fibro related but since I am still in denial stage of that diagnoses I try to find a cause for it all...
I have reached the end stage of my denial... this is it ... either the MRI will show something or nothing... and I will have no choice but to accept that Fibro IS the cause. LOL That is until I get another wind of denial and it takes me on another investigative journey for some other hard to diagnose condition with symptoms that fit some of what I experience...
Honestly I believe something is going to show up...I believe they will find that I DO have a brain. That will be a BIG relief to know that I still have one. I just forget how to use it...
I remember a post a long time ago about the stages we go through...I need look that one up. to remind myself.
