I stopped my no sugar, no gluten, low carb, diet on Day 8 because I want to first get my gut straightened out. I started the diet after the diarrhea had already started. I thought if the Cymbalta doesn't make me constipated again, then surely this bland diet would help get me back in shape. Neither was true.

You use words as "tense" "hard" "tension" "anxious" -- I believe you are magnifying your symptoms tenfold by being so focused on MND, or focused on something being wrong.
BUT I can say for as long as you have been posting - if it was an MND - you would not be speaking, walking, or moving -- or in the very least those things without great difficulty.

It sounds like you have entered a phase with this stuff that it is about to start destroying your life. You can't let it do that. Think of it this way, even if you have the dreaded disease we all fear, do you want to spend the rest of your days without your husband or with him? The answer is obvious - with him. You can't let catastrophic thoughts ruminate through your head and ultimately affect your body. Might you have the ultra rare form of the disease - I doubt it, but I guess there could be some chance. But there is also a chance that you could get run over by a bus tomorrow. You can't live your life this way. I for one, don't want to be scared anymore. I am tired of being scared. I am tired of every time I stumble or drop something or clear my throat having that sinking feeling.
Please, please find someone to help with your anxiety. A counselor perhaps?
One final thought on your hand symptoms, I know about 6 or 7 weeks ago, I did some strong strength tests with my hands and wouldn't you know it, my hands hurt for 2 days. And I think I have reasonably strong, conditioned hands. But do g weird things hurt them. Could all the self testing be hurting you? You bet it can.
Yuliasir wrote:1) is that any sort of indicator of MND? - NO. usually it is the indicator of the fact you have to digest a lot of foreing substances (you are taking meds, your liver enzymes are therefore high to digest them) Ok - this is what me and my family were thinking. I am going to repeat this blood test soon.
2) could that be related to the diarrhea starting? - UNCLEAR. Diarrhoea is a complex process, and could be caused by many factors, but it is in general always a disruption of your guts cells ability to take water from the stool, therefore you have liquid stool. High liver enzymes are in no way a reason of having diarrhoea, but they may have a common root of course if the same agent prevents your gut cells from proper osmos and you also have to digest it in your liver. ok - so there could be a link there, but depending on what is really going on. Or what WENT on - see below
3) could it be related to my explosive twitching outbreak? - HOW DO WE KNOW? Twitching is even a more complex issue than diarrhoea. - yea, it sure is. I was just wondering if anyone had knowledge about liver enzymes link to twitching.
4) would I have any other symptoms, like fever or something else? I haven't ever had a fever or sweats or anything else besides the bloating, gas, diarrhea and explosive twitching (besides my hand problem and heavy, tense arms/shoulder) Here I do not understand the question well. Would you have any other symptomes - in what case? in case of high liver indices? Well, if you have infection hepatite - maybe yes. If not - maybe no. it is good that you do not have fever or sweats, this rather means your immune system and thermoregulation is OK. - right, I meant that if something was wrong with my liver, if I would have other symptoms to show it, like fever or something.
