I recently went for a routine blood test reference fertility and I was found to have low platelets. This has been tested now three times and is dropping, last count 32. Since two weeks now I have had parathesia in my hands, feet and most noticeable on my face, especially my lips. For the first time in my life I have suffered vertigo over the last couple of weeks. Night sweats, fatigue and general muscle tiredness, sore skin, and joints and a tendency to bruise. Have appointment booked to see haematologist but wondered if I should see a neurologist. Any thoughts as to what this might be?

However I have quite a relief now but one problem which as been persistent all my life is that I feel this numbness in my head since past 12 years based on my lifestyle back then I used to play a lot of badminton and I was really good at it playing for longer hours and regularly. However one day I noticed I am feeling numb in my head. I ignored for few days only to realise that it won’t go away my most recent neurologist suggested that whatevr stress you brain is subjected to is reflected in degeneration in your spinal regions I don’t know wat that means. However even that top neurologist from chennai was unable to diagnose the problem for my numb head. However I have taken it as part of my life.

Hi Cara. A rheumatologist would be the better option. They specialize in autoimmune conditions. Long term management may then be handed over to your primary with occasional follow ups with the rheumatologist.

Is this something that would be best managed through a rheumatologist, my neurologist or my primary? I’ve already joined some support groups for it and everyone has been very helpful.

Hi Cara. Thank you for returning to update us. Sjogren’s is one of the most common rheumatological conditions although it is widely heard of. It will require long term management. Good to know that you are seeing a rheumatologist soon.

So, after having another MRI with normal results and further bloodwork done, I tested positive for Sjogrens Syndrome, an autoimmune disorder. Now, it’s all about following up with a rheumatologist and managing my symptoms.

My symptoms have returned and I saw a new neurologist and he ordered another MRI and bloodwork. He said if all comes back normal then we have to dig deeper. Have to admit I’m scared
To death and trying to deal with this the best I can.
I have a friend who was diagnosed with guillan barre syndrome and she has some similar symptoms. I just pray I get some answers and can move forward with enjoying life with my family.

Hi Cara. MS would be a reasonable consideration given your history but this has been ruled out by the neurologist. The other investigations that you had would show if blood flow is compromised to the brain which would cause some of the symptoms you are experiencing. Tumors of the cranial nerves and so on would also have been detected. Given your age it is advisable that you consult with a cardiologist just to ensure that there is no underlying cardiovascular condition. Yes, it could account for some of your symptoms. It is also advisable to follow up with an opthamologist (eye specialist) to exclude certain eye conditions. It really is difficult to say what this could be given that you have undergone so many tests and everything is clear thus far. Another consideration would be anemia and perimenopause although your doctors would have considered this. Do not be misled by the lack of smoking or your age. Many people who do have heart attacks are non-smokers and in their 30s. Of course, smokers and older people are at a much greater risk. If all else fails, consult with a specialist physician and then a psychotherapist. Stress can definitely cause many of the symptoms you are experiencing but it is always advisable for first exclude some of the conditions mentioned above.

I’ve had a very trying last several years. In 2008 while pregnant I was diagnosed w/ Bells Palsy (talk about being scared to death). My symptoms subsided after a month or so. Then, last year (2014) I was working out with a personal trainer on the weight bench and pushed up with the bar and it was very painful in my right arm near armpit area. The very next day I began with numbness on my right side (arm, face, leg) It lasted for a week or so. Went to the ER and CAT scan was normal, but no diagnosis. I saw a neurologist and she ordered for bloodwork and MRI with dye contrast. Everything came back normal, thank God! I then saw an ENT, and eye specialist and all tests were normal. Well, every several months I have this numbness on my right side and it’s coupled with a dizzy, foggy, almost drunk feeling and right eye pressure. I’m 37 and never smoked and hardly drink and take no medications. My neurologist firmly believes it’s stress and assured me it’s not MS. Any suggestions on what this could be??
