FND symptoms for 7 years

[CallmeRouge]

Hello everyone!

I have been having these (predominantly) sensory symptoms for the past 7 years and I have times where my symptoms don’t progress, like remission periods. Then, as of the middle of December I have been experiencing new symptoms like daily, almost constant brain fog, feels like my vision is split (right and left eye aren’t connected) I have had many many different tests: brain CT, MRI, Nerve conduction study, neurological exam. I found out recently that I was born with a congenital posterior arachnoid cyst with no mass effect, and it hasn’t changed in the past 3 years so they won’t do anything about, and it has been confirmed that the cyst is not related to my symptoms. I also, have severe health anxiety and I have been getting palpitations. I started to think about the possibility that I have ALS, even though I’m almost certain I don’t have it, almost every doctor and neurologist I have seen has demystified that for me, but I can’t let that idea go. Does anyone else experience similar symptoms and or diagnosis[s]

Hi,

I too have mainly sensory symptoms, with some muscle twitching, which comes and goes. Sometimes I can have it several times a day for a few weeks but then it can go away.

My main concern is the sensory symptoms however. I’ve had them for 2.5 years. One foot, up my leg, one side of face, one side of back. Like yours, they come and go.

Like you, I’ve had lots of tests done, including MRI’s.

Any update on your symptoms since you last wrote this post?
