The weird case... (me)


Let's talk a little bit about my health... Well, I've got some problems to write for 2 years by now (actually on april, 5th it'll be it anniversary). Actually at first we thought it was a tendonotis at my right elbow. But then, several weeks later, the pain remained. So I went to a rheumatologist practice, and she x-rayed my back... nothing wrong so she requested me to pass a kind of scan of my neck but you know they can get pictures thanks to magnetism (actually in France we call that an IRM)... results: nothing wrong. In September, about 2 weeks after we restarted courses, I couldn't write again and I couldn't cut my meat, tie up my shoes... very annoying! So I went to a neurologist who sent me discharges in my arm and told me I was cured, and the problem was that my brain was...forgetting that I had a right arm! (so weird!). But a week later, I was back since it was worst and it was coming in my left arm and he told me that it was just psychological, he maintained that I was cured. It stopped for a while, but in March, it began again. I went to another neurologist who requested me to pass 2 other IRM, one of my neck and another of my brain (they thought it was a tumor): but nothing (thanks god!). The new neurologist sent me discharges once again and then he jabed a needle in 19 different place in my muscles of my arms and legs (in about 5 minutes!... it was awful!) and I had to contract my muscles... result: nothing except that I couldn't use members for 3 days since it was SO painful! Anyway, now when I go to my neurologist he tells me "it's you the weird case!"
Yesterday I went in a hospital to pass another IRM of my neck, and guess what was the result...
Nothing...
My neurologist is right... I am weird!

j'ai eu les mêmes symptômes à peu près, et ce de manière discontinue pendant 5 ans. Je n'ai pas pu écrire pendant 2 ans. J'ai 22 ans et je suis de Lille ! Contacte-moi si tu veux : toniodreamer@hotmail.fr
