Hello

Hi everyone! Hoping for advice..

I’m 36, 3 kids, healthy and 4 months ago right after my cousin was diagnosed with MS, I started to feel tingling in fingers, feet and lately the face. My muscles feel achy like I ran a marathon .. both in legs and arms and when I wake up , I sometimes feel internal shaking. My youngest is 11 months and currently breastfeeding him.

Ive had 11 blood tests done, mri, ct scan, 3 neurologists, 2 nerve conduction tests, naturopath, rheumatologist and nothing is showing up...

Thinking it’s either fibromyalgia or small fibre neuropathy...

Anyone experience this?

Thanks so much. 🙏🏼

Hi, also new here and not sure if my answer will be any help but I will give it a shot.

I have been experiencing similar stuff: internal vibrations, shaking, back pain and muscle twitching. I have had the back pain for a while now but the vibrations/shaking only became noticeable after I read about MS..

Im very aware that I have anxiety about my health and I feel kind of ridiculous as I'm half way through my post grad in cog.itive behavioural therapy and working as a trainee practitioner. I'm trying to keep an open mind and not let these worries consume me while in waiting to see the Dr, however some days are harder than others.

What I do know is that anxiety is essentially our natural fight or flight response which is being triggered by something that most if us wouldn't consider a threat (the unlikely possibility of having a nasty disease for example)

A few things happen when we are in 'fight or flight' one of them being that our body primes the large muscle groups such as the core and legs to either run away or kick ass .. this is quite handy when we are in life threatening situations however not so much when we are just trying to get on with everyday life or sleep. This can eventually lead to aches and pains, tiredness, tingling and a buffet of other not so delightful symptoms.

I honestly want to believe that what I'm experiencing is something mundane and that my overdramatic brain is just blowing it all out of proportion. It seems that you have the peace of mind that comes with having all the nasty possibilities medically ruled out. If I were you I would focus on that.

My advice, for what its worth would be to try and keep an open mind, accept that there are just some things we don't understand and find peace in the fact that you and your children are healthy.

I hope you find some answers or at least some relief from the symptoms you are experiencing.
