For the last 3 years or so, I have been having a series of symptoms inculding: .
1. Massive unbearable pain in back and hips due to spasticity and rigidity.
2. Overall fatigue, get more tired with simple activity. Light exercise leaves me incapacitated and exasperates my muscle spasms.
3. Uncontrolled jerking of arms and legs.
4. Migraines.
5. Unable to bend down and difficulty standing up.
6. Difficulty walking due to hip spasm and pain.
7. Electrical surge feeling in back and hip muscles along with prickling pain.
8. Increased lack of coordination in the hands and feet.
9. Constant feeling of instability when standing or walking
Does any one know much about neuromuscular conditions to give me a place to start?? I have been refered to rehabilitation medicine....
Got any ideas??? please understand that I am not looking for someone to diagnose me...but looking to see if there are is anyone who might have simular problems.....it doesn't hurt to ask..... These symptoms are not good. They suggest to me Multiple Sclerosis, or Muscular Dystrophy. I'd get tested if I was you. I have had similiar symptoms for 3 years also.
I do know the jerking is called myoclonus.
Hope to hear from you.

Yeah, see the physiatrist. That's a doctor who specializes in rehab medicine.
Why is that you would would expect anyone here, even if that person is a doctor, to be able to diagnose you sight unseen? Sounds like it could be muscular sclerosis. I would definitely go see a good doctor. Whatever the problem is, you have a neurological problem. If I were you I would start by doing the following:
鈥et a 鈥渘atural鈥?doctor to see you.
鈥tart learning and reading a lot, assuming your responsibility in your illness. If you don鈥檛 get interested and leave everything to doctors you are going to get worse.
鈥tart learning about nutrition, how to feed yourself well. Your nervous system is not making good electrical connections; it needs good food in order to do that. No more sodas, no more sugary things, no more vegetable oils, sleep 8-9 hour every day, lots of meat, fruits and vegetables, tons of sunshine(20 minutes/day) Exercise every day, your body needs it, even if it is with some pain.
鈥ou need vitamin B, B complex and Omega 3 every day in order to give your nervous system the raw material to build itself.
Probably, no doctor is going to say all this, but if you expect to 鈥渢ake a pill and see you next month鈥?to work, you are very wrong. I am sorry to tell you that.
For more on this matters see my page: What is Omega 3, it may help.
