I had never brought up my family history previously .. and honestly never thought how everything could be related until now. Sooo now I am leaning towards seeing a geneticist.
These are similiar symptoms I share with my maternal side: muscle weakness, epileptic type episodes like auras, fatigue, facial muscle weakness to one side of face, the inability to whistle, difficulty with swallowing, Gastro intestinal discomfort with bloating and distended stomach, hyper sensitivity to light and sound, joint pain and blurred vision and scolilosis.
My grandmother completely lost her sense of smell when she was in her 40's and began to fall alot, also diagnosed with epilepsy of some form in her 70's plus all the symptoms above.. my mother has also all the symptoms above but she has difficulty breathing and has asthma type attacks and heart palpitations and arrythmias.
My mom doesnt want to listen to me.. she thinks all her symptoms come from stress.. as she thinks that for me too. She told me the other day that her boyfreind doesn't like us to talk about medical stuff anymore because "I make her think she has things" wtf!?
So this is really all up to me right now. My persistance WILL presevere. I HOPE. I hope this time.. is the right time. Its been so many years. I understand that whatever I have is not likely life threatening however if I could IMPROVE the qaulity of my life that would be so wonderful.. and if I could help it and know what I could possibly be giving to my children genetically.. all the more wonderful too.
