I recently turned 20 years old. My whole life I've been told I had "floppy muscles" and I went to PT as a kid. I played hockey and soccer until I was 16, but I was always accident prone. I'm a pretty easy going and social guy of average height and weight. I don't smoke or drink or do any drugs. The doctors usually ask that first.
About two years ago I had incredible chest pain, arm pain, headache and dizziness. The doctors did some tests but didn't find anything. Ever since, I've had terrible joint pain and a little tremor in my right hand. I saw a neurologist and he said everything looked fine I was too young for anything serious. Then about a year ago, I realized I was having trouble writing and I started having memory problems. Also, I would get shocks down my legs and a pin and needles feeling and burning in my legs. The chest pain and joint pain got unbearable. Again, I went for a series of tests and they found nothing abnormal. This summer the symptoms got worse. Now, my right hand tremors the majority of the time its resting or still. I have numbness in my pinky finger and sometimes throughout my arm causing me to drop things. I have terrible headaches and am constantly dizzy. I have lost peripheral vision, my vision has gotten blurrier, and I feel like the lights flicker every now and then. My joint pain is terrible and I become very stiff even after sitting for a few mintues. I'm short of breath just laying down. My hips are really sore and stiff all the time. I'm unable to sleep for any good period of time. My memory has gotten worse, I repeat myself, forget what I was saying even mid-sentence, forget what I was doing and so on. Yesterday morning, my right arm and leg lost most of its strength and the tremors have gotten worse to the point my right hand is unusable. Sorry for the length of this but I've been passed around from doctor to doctor my whole life. Recently it has gotten worse and I would rather know whats wrong then just being in the dark. Thanks for any help or advice.

Could you ask your Dr to refer you to a better Dr? One that's in a large teaching hospital is the best as they're up to date on everything. Have you had your spine looked at? Specifically your vagus nerve?
