Good Afternoon,
I was hoping to get some insight from others as I've found myself with a new mystery illness yet again :/ I do have a lyme doctor, am starting with a new MCAS doctor and have conventional people on deck too, but sometimes patients know more
I spent a month in Wilmington, North Carolina with an abundance of mosquitos (I got 8 bites), roaches and interior and exterior roach spraying. A week or so after all of this took place, I developed sudden symptoms of weakness, mostly in my legs, that were the worst in the morning and seemed to go away entirely for awhile and then came back ten days later, after which it has been fluctuating but consistently present. The main problem is in my legs and sometimes my hands. I have had pain in my neck at times, joint pain one day and back pain. In the morning, I have some mild dizziness/coordination issues and am slow moving but not tired, really.
No other symptoms. Nothing is side-specific and everything fluctuates. Sleep and digestion are good. Bit foggy in the morning, but thinking is ok in the afternoon and evening. On the trip down, yes, I may have been exposed to covid. I was actually trying to move there so the travel was just part of what I needed to do.
Has anyone had a similar experience from mosquitos, pesticide or covid?
At the time, I was pretty healthy, I was pursuing treatment for MCAS and looking into coagulation, but my symptoms were mild and I was productive and fast moving. I do have a background with lyme illnesses. I have lots of testing to do but would super appreciate any opinions on the cause. I would say muscle weakness in my legs, then hands and morning slowness are my chief concerns, in that order. I was not taking anything other than probiotics.
Thank you so much
