Hello,
Since the extremities are affected as well, the problem may be located on the brain. Stroke and other neurological conditions should be considered and evaluated further. A brain MRI is necessary together with an evaluation by your Neurologist.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
