Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thank you for writing back.
1. You have not mentioned any previous medications in your medical history. If you have been on medication before, kindly enumerate. These include some antibiotics, anti-epileptics, statins, chemotherapy drugs and so on.
2. I think the fact that you get most of the symptoms (or that they worsen) after lying down suggests that you should get an MRI Spine done. Also look for any stenosis of the spinal canal. Get a neck vessel doppler study done.
3. You should see a Neurologist. A normal MRI Brain will rule out Multiple Sclerosis.Multiple Sclerosis is a rare disorder.
If you have any further questions, I will be available to answer them.
