Still wondering with no answers and the strange and varied symptoms keep appearing. I did see a local ENT about 8 weeks ago and unfortunately he was very brief in his examine, no scope and like all the other doctors have said "see what the neurologist thinks" the end of June. That day at the ENT I thought the side of my neck felt strange and by evening I had an extreme burning pain, like where my carotid artery is. Rather than drive home an hour away not knowing what was going on I went to the ER with my blood pressure up to 179, very high for me. They monitored me for 2 hours and found nothing so sent me home to wait for the magical appointment with the neurologist.

My appointment with the Neurologist was disappointing. He did an EMG and a MRI of my head and concluded I have carpal tunnel in one arm and damage in the C-6 or 7 that accounts for the tingling and numbness and pain in both arms. I asked about the issues with my neck/throat and he said it may be thyroid disease and left it at that. Told my primary doctor that and he says "no" so no one is trying to get that figured out. Unfortunately he is leaving this month and the sleep study guy is taking over and I was told to come back in 2-3 months.

4 weeks ago I had another strange thing, my equalibriam was off, seemed like I had vertigo but it only lasted 36 hours. Now my latest is a white spot on one tonsil, sore throat, and I noticed when I look in my mouth my tongue at the back of my mouth is very uneven, looks low on one side and high on the other. (Was tested for strep and that was negative, also negative for Lymes and thyroid is ok) They checked my arteries on the sides of my neck with an ultrasound and that was good, no plaque.) The sides of my neck still feel like I have swollen glands at times, last night one side was burning. Have a pretty regular tingling and numbness in my chin and under my jar and up into my face at times.

Thankfully I was able to get a referral to a the U so have appointments in 2 weeks for an ENT and a neurologist.

I still don't believe that I could have 3 separate issues come on overnight and they are being diagnosed with separate causes. I really think they are all linked together and have something to do with my neck/throat area.

Any ideas what I should ask them to check next or what this could be.

Thanks so much. You are a great group of informed people!!!

PS After re-reading my post I would think I sound like a hypercondriac but for someone who has never had much in the way of medical issues I really think it is my body trying to tell me something is not right. I don't smoke or drink and am not overweight so I think that is the reason my doctor doesn't take me serious. He actually warned me that often people with these type of symptoms will have their friends and relatives questions whether it is all in their head so then they will get more symptoms. Well, I don't want any more symptoms I just want them gone so I can enjoy life. Running to the doctor so much has taken too much time already.
