Anxiety thru the roof thinking MND

[AlexMac83]

For a good 9 months now I've had a tingling sensation in my right shoulder blade first thing in a morning, it tends to go after a few minutes & then have occasional pain / tingling through the day, but then can go days without feeling it.

It's started to get bit more noticeable in past few months.

Then around late May / early June I started to get strange sensations in both lower legs, like goosebumps, electrical feel all over my calves, even on days when 25 degrees! Lasted seconds sort of thing, then noticed joint pain in feet .......booked docs appt 20/7 and he said blood tests in first instance, just the usual.B12,thyroid etc, about a day after that I then started to get twitching in my calves a lot and sometimes thigh/top of hamstrings.

Bloods came back fine now a diff doc wants to do bloods for creatine kinase but first appointment I can get is 9th Aug so waiting again.

Since then I've convinced myself I have MND ☹️ and anxiety going up and down which I know isn't helping. Feel like majority of the twitching / tingling the right side at rest and that my strength slightly weaker and that's my stronger side. Right foot hurts slightly at times aswell first thing , like joint pain & right knee also bit painful. Calf muscles also really tight at times.

When I had my first CV jab in April had couple of rough days including one night legs where killing,tingling all night, had 2nd jab late May so guess no idea if that anything to do with it.

Have had a MRI on head / neck Dec 2020 due to endless pins and needles issues after starting on Omeprazole January 2020 for acid reflux,both clear apart from historic brain bleed I had no idea about, had follow up on head only early July and not heard anything since but don't think MND symptoms would show in anyway on head MRI anyway. Again no idea if daily Omeprazole could be the reason behind all this as started have pin/needles a bit on off since started on PPI meds.

The waiting & Dr Google don't help but just feel like this is the start of something bad, sorry for long post just need to get it off my chest

Hope it helps you in getting it off your chest. I can relate to that, my friend.I am on Omeprazole for the Duodenal ulcer and reflux valve sticking, along with many other meds, Hehe! I could make a meal out of them. Hehe! Been on it since the heart op. Diagnosed with PN, then Diabetes, then, a Stroke. So I've been on them for years.

If I miss the Omeprazole I know it almost straight away, but only with extra wind as far as I know. Occasionally the Magnesium stearate which is generally safe to consume, but too much of it can have a laxative effect. In large amounts only, it can irritate the mucus lining of the bowels. This may trigger a bowel movement or diarrhoea.

From what I read up about it, it prevents the individual ingredients in a capsule from sticking together. Considered one of the less side-effected meds.

I hope you can get some clarification soon.

Cheers.
