Unexplained neurological issue- sensory overload?

[littleone]

Hi,

I have been suffering a range of neurological problems over the last few months which I am still trying to understand.

My first symptoms were dizzyness, confusion and nausa which came on suddenly. I was taken to A&E after becoming very confused but they sent me away again. Over the next few weeks this came and went, before I then started to develop speach problems, being unable to get my words out and again becoming very confused. I was at this point diagnosed with labrythitus and sent on my way.

Over the next few weeks the symptoms came and went, and seeing as I thought I had an infection I went about my life as normal as I could. I am the director of a my own comapny so my work life can be very hectic. At this point the waves of confusion and nausea became much more intense, and I began to struggle to function day to day. (Like a cloud coming over me)

Another week or so went by before I went back to my GP with very very bad speach difficulties, I was unable to string a sentance together and I started to get a burning/tingling sensation in my head, almost as if 100's of tiny needles were being stabbed into my brain.

At this point I was admitted to hospital, with supected stroke/MS? I spent 8 days in hospital and continued to sturggle, having next to no balance (I would fall as soon as I closed my eyes) and very poor speach reacall/slurring - at one point I couldn't even tell a nurse my date of birth, which was all very scary.

In the week I had an MRI, 2 lumber punctures and a EEG- all of which returned as unremarkeble. Following some physiothearapy to help me get back on my feet (walking was difficult) I was sent home. The neurologist advised he thought I'd had a 'brain overload' - that my high pressured lifestyle had caused my brain functions to shut down temporaily and that I would get better in time. (for the record, I am not depressed/no physcological issues, I have a very positive outlook generally).

It has now been 2 months since I was in hopsital, for the first few weeks I was unable to do anything for myself,. I have made some improvements but I still do suffer day to day,

I now find that whenever I try to work at a laptop, or do something that involves co-ordination my brain overloads again. I get dizzy, I have burning sensations in my brain, feel sick and if I push it, my co-ordination, balance and speech drop away. I still have constant tingling -pins and needles in the back of my head.

It seems that sensory input triggers an attack? I went to the theatre last night and by the interval I couldn't talk or stand up un-aided and had to go home.

Overall it seems very bizzare, and the hospital has wiped its hands of me as the tests were all clear, but I am still suffering with the symptoms.

I am only 29 years old, I get married in 7 weeks time and I really feel like this has taken over my life, I have no answers and can only function at half pelt of my full and happy life I had before.

I was wondering if anyone knew anything that could help shed a light on whats wrong with me, how to manage, what it could be?

thanks so much for your time,

Jo
