sick since 14 started with repeated infections now 54 Diagnosed and undiagnosed with Lyme, MS, CFIDS etc. Bedridden about every 4-5 years for 6 months to 3 years. Recently added new symptoms of not being able to eat or drink without spasms in throat causing tightness and severe choking this was finally resolved after 48 days of no eating by the drug Librax/clidinium. I also have been having seizure like spells that look like grand Mal and include inability to move or talk afterwards. The now occur daily for up to an hour and start with extreme shortness of breath and nausea then some shaking and often progress to Grand mal looking spell. Also have new RA like symptoms in finger joints for last 3 weeks Any thoughts? I am considering going to Mayo clinic to get a diagnosis. Any ideas?
