Hello and sorry for the wall of text =/ about 4 months ago out of the blue I woke up very tired, fatigued, weak, and in pain in my arms and legs after about a week of it getting worse I went to my doctor who sent me for blood work all came back normal after another week of it not getting any better and being so weak walking was painful I went to the hospital ER they did blood work, urine, ct scan and a ekg on me it all came back fine so they sent me home and wanted me to see a nurologist (parent with history of MS) at this point my symptoms had grown to :
* Feel like you are going to pass out or faint
* Chronic Fatigue
* No energy, feeling lethargic, tired
* Numbness or tingling in hands, feet, face, head, or any other places on the body
* Weak legs, arms, or muscles
* Heart - Irregular heart rhythms, flutters or ‘skipped’ beats, tickle in the chest that makes you cough
* Dizziness or light-headedness
* Feeling like there is a tight band around your head, pressure, tightness
* Nausea or abdominal stress
* Sore jaw that feels like a tooth ache
* Difficulty falling or staying asleep
* Pain
* Tingling, pins and needles feelings
* Warm spells
the nurologist sent me for MRI of the brain and spine and additonal blood work ..everything came back fine (for a guy so healthy i feel like crap) he wanted me to come back in 3 weeks to see if things were better about a week later I fainted at work and they called a ambulance ER did the same tests all came back fine and they wanted me to go see a rheumatologists who ran tests for autoimmune thyroid and other stuff which all came back fine ...2 weeks later back at the nurologist he said I had severe anxiety and stress (Im in the middle of buying my first home and recently got promoted at work) and put me on Clonazepan 0.5 mg (twice a day) and Sertraline 25mg (once a day) so over the next month alot of the symptoms went away (still had some weakness not to the degree it was and some pain mostly in the jaw and arms but not to the degree it was) so my regular doctor changed the medicine to Sertaline 50mg (once a day) and Clonazepan 0.5 only when needed but now the pain has returned and the weakness is extreme and I cant sleep threw the night...so my question is (and ive read the symptom list here so i know these are all symptoms of it) does this sound like anxiety to you guys ? I dont feel stressed and I dont have "anxiety attacks" its a where all of a sudden things come on its I wake up weak tired and in pain and it never goes away ? I know thinking there is something else wrong that the doctors missed is actually a symptom of it but I cant help but think that way any and all advice is GREATLY APPRECIATED...SORRY FOR THE WALL OF TEXT
