neurological symptoms

Sent to Health Experts August 31 01:24 PM

Is there a correlation between loss of all deep tendon reflexes, no venous pulsation in right eye,sudden onset seizures, behavioral changes, & if so what are the correlations? I also have numerous other symptoms-fatigue, achiness all over body, etc. I just generally feel something is amiss.

I have also recently been diagnosed with frontal lobe epilepsy with no known cause, & while this can account for some of the symptoms, it doesn't account for all of them. I am 24 years old, & until about 2 years ago had no known health problems whatsoever.

All of this can be related to something going on in your brain. I'm not sure what though. Have you had EEG, MRI, CAT scan done? What is your doctor telling you? Perhaps we can start there.

Reply to Kerry's Post: I have had 2 EEG's both came back normal. I have also had 2 MRI's which showed a spot on my frontal lobe. On the second one it had become a bit more pronounced. The only diagnosis I have received is frontal lobe epilepsy, but as for the other things going on the doctors are stumped. I am also 6 months pregnant which limits the type of testing the doctors can do. All of my doctors agree that the pregnancy has absolutely nothing to do with these problems. I have also had mri's of my neck & spine which came back normal. The doctors are remaining tight lipped for the most part as far as possibilities. The only thing that has really been mentioned is multiple sclerosis, which for now anyway seems to be ruled out by lack of lesions on my mri's.

Thanks for your help,
