Having problems with message search?
I wonder myself if I am having neurological problems. I do know that it isn't uncommon to have more than one autoimmune disorder. I was dx'd with ulcerative colitis in 2004, arthritis in 2005, and last October I was told I have autoimmune hepatitis. My G.I. told me that oftentimes a person can have 2-4 autoimmune disorders. I have really bad tingling and numbness in my left toes and above my knee - it feels like I can't lift it or bend my leg at times. Both of my arms fall dead asleep every night regardless of my sleep position, it is so painful that I wake up from it...the worst is when I am sleeping on my back. Lately, I've had blurring in my vision - mainly my right eye. I also have been experiencing dizziness/vertigo once or twice a day and mental confusion - I will lose my train of thought or stumble and slur my words. I'm not sure what to do about these symptoms, and am wondering if I may have MS or something of the like. I found it interesting that you brought this up, I feel like maybe I'm not so crazy.

rushed to the ER with what was believed to be a stroke. But it was
not, turned out to be Peripheral Neuropathy.
My question: is there a link between these 2 conditions. It seems
that my immune system is not attacking the nerves on my left side.
Have been searching the web and can not find anything that may connect
the 2. Any information would be greatly appreciated.
