weakness in the arms on and off over 6 months
by Janelle
HI, Twitching eye movements have stopped but weakness in my arms and sometimes my legs and nervous feelings throughout body remain! I sometimes shake when holding things like cups and when performing small tasks like hanging washing on line and taking it off. i have been asked to see a neurologist for further assessment as my blood tests reults all came back normal. Any thoughts would be appreciated! symptoms happen everyday! Hello Janelle, I think an assessment by a neurologist is the right way to go. It doesn't sound primarily like a chiropractic problem, though your chiropractor may be able to assist - weak muscles mean that your spine is more liable to "go out", I hate the phrase, but it's so used by the general public. That shaking when holding a cup is called an intention tremor - it starts when you intend to do something, as compared to a resting tremor, like Parkinsons, that occurs continuously. Also advice on a daily exercise programme is something your Chiro could help you with, and that's vital is this is a neurological condition. It's good news that the eye twitches have stopped. Make sure that you are on the best sources of fat. Your brain is 60% fat, and the nerves are coated with a fatty myelin sheath. That means use only olive oil (and small amounts of butter) in your diet, avocado is good too, and absolutely avoid hydrogenated fats. You need to become a fanatic there. Read the labels. Most margarines are high in hydrogenated fats, most snacks, crisps, peanut butter, marmite... eat natural. You want the right fats (called "cis") coating your nerves. As to have your homocysteine levels tested. All the best, Janelle. Let us know when a diagnosis is made, if one is. B |
