Hi all - 12 months ago i visited my GP with symptoms of severe neck pain, sharp pains in my head and eyes, funny sensations in my scalp, severe pain when looking upwards I my neck, pins and needles in my arms hands and legs, feeling of being off balance, my vision is not quite right but can’t quite put my finger on it(optician since confirmed I have done peripheral vision loss), this throbbing noise in my head which is constantly there, I toss and turn at night just can’t get comfortable, everywhere aches and I’m exhausted , GP diagnosed depression but i went and had my eyes tested and they referred me to eye consultant who ordered a scan due to peripheral vision loss, scan showed chiari so I saw a neurologist in June 2019 who referred me to a specialist neurologist for further diagnosis - I’m still waiting and feel terrible every single day. Do the above symptoms affect anyone else? Thanks
