Help i have health problems and a list of symptoms. MS? Parkinsons? tumor? more than 1.5 years & gotten worse?
i need as much answers as i can get to help me out..
but my symptoms are
arm and leg muscle tremors some can last for seconds some for minutes.
random jolts in my arms or legs and rarely in a neck or back muscle
A lot of times my eyes “play tricks on me” sometimes its almost like i have vertigo where my perception of depth changes as im looking at something A lot when im walking in a hallway.. also my vision shakes A lot from right to left to where it feels like i got off a amusement ride.. and often i see a fuzzy spot in my eyes that move around…
i have bad depression
i have bad fatigue through out the day
i get good and proper amount of sleep however when i wake up it feels like i have not slept in years
i often lose my balance
i get light headed when i get up 70% of the time
i lose feeling in arms or legs during day and it always happens when i sleep and i don’t sleep on side however it wakes me up.
i always have stiff necks
ill be in the middle of talking to a friend or co worker and ill almost slur my Speech and almost forget what i was saying as to where my brain knows what i want to say its just for some reason i cant spit it out and sometimes i look like a idiot at work because some people think im a stonier where as i have never done drugs. occasionally i get a stutter but more or less just cant spit out the damn words..
A lot of the time when i have to pee it feels like i have to pee a keg of piss and A lot of time its like a shot glass of pee and my pee always smells really bad all day.. and when i pee in the morning its like i haven’t peed in years..
I dont know what i should do. as far as i know my family doest have a weird history i haven’t really asked because i dont really get along with the folks also i dont have benefits and cant afford to see a dr. what should i do.. also i had looked up symptoms of this and it all seems to end up looking like early symptoms of Parkinson’s some people may suggest i have Lyme’s but i dont there are so many symptoms of Lyme’s that i have never had nor have i had a deer tick on me or 95% of the symptoms. 2 of my friends have bad cases of Lyme’s and they said that theirs no way i have it from the things i described compared to there information about their disease… could i maybe have Parkinson’s or MS something else such as a tumor with maybe also a hint of diabeties?
i just turned 26 i live in nj and i eat pretty well i enjoy salads fruits dairy and oj
are their any doctors on here that may be able to talk to me?
other than that ill listen to what anyone has to say because i need all advise since im broke..
I found an article and i hope it will help you, just go through it

I’m really sorry to hear all of your symptoms.
Although the symptoms of PD and MS often sound very similar and manifest in different people at different times, this sounds more like Multiple Sclerosis especially because of the nature of your vision problem which could be nystagmus. This is not to say that you can’t have vision issues with Parkinson’s Disease, you can and my husband has them.
First check MS, an autoimmune disease which has also been called an “inflammatory demyelinating condition.” Something about your description of the sudden limb pains sounds more like MS than PD. And your symptoms seem to match:
vision
co-ordination
strength
sensation
speech and swallowing
bladder control
sexuality
cognitive function
Take a look at WebMD which gets right to the point:
Next you can compare your symptoms to Parkinson’s Disease. Certainly your urinary issues sound like those of a PWP but they also fit other conditions as well.
Yes, stiff neck is an early symptom of PD – mostly in women.
Check the Mayo Clinic site for symptoms which parallel yours:
You appear to have sudden drops in blood pressure which can become dangerous if left untreated.
Not knowing where in NJ you reside, I have included a general link to free clinics in and around the New Jersy area. You need to find one closest to you that offers more than STD services and go there immediately. Your symptoms require attention, diagnosis and treatment.
Ok, about Lyme Disease. You might have been bitten and not even have been aware. You might not have noticed a bite on your back, for example. I know people who were diagnosed with Parkinson’s but actually had Lyme Disease which is certainly not treated the same way. Although the superficial condition can clear, the symptoms and the body’s reaction remain. If you had friend with that exposure, you could had had it too but with a different reaction.
I just found this MS diet website, I have no idea about the value here, but adjusting your diet might be the only treatment you can afford … once you have had a diagnosis.
You can check out the dietary content of fruits and vegetables here in order to include or rule out:
In both PD and MS, it is important to supplement with antioxidants. That can be done through nutritional supplements which you buy or careful attention to diet:
and at links here for MS:
I’m not sure that a physician can diagnose you online. Please check the free clinic link and make an appointment. You need to be seen in person. Type up your list of symptoms – essentially your question here in full. Take two copies with you so that you can both be on the same page.
You can reach me through Yahoo Answers or the site below.
Best wishes.
