I too have a lot of your symptoms. I have been to many doctors and most of my symptoms are blamed on the fact i fell down stairs back in 1987. I also have degenerative disk disease with spurs and i have been told that causes pinched nerves. I also have been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia which causes pain in odd places, weakness, numb spots. Have you been tested for Fibromyalgia? I sure hope your doctor gets answers for you soon as its sometimes worse not knowing the problem, (It took 12 yrs. for me to get answers) as not a lot was known about Fibromyalgia back in the 80's.

I assume you have been evaluated by an MD. What did he advise you? Your symptoms can have multiple explanations. MS is one of them, but early-onset Parkinsons Disease is another. You may also need to be evaluated for Lupus and other auto-immune disorders which require some rather subtle blood work, sometimes repeated, to diagnose.

I write as a chronic face pain patient advocate with 18 years experience in talking with patients and reading medical literature. My doctorate is not in medicine.
