Guest guest Posted April 28, 2005 Report Share Posted April 28, 2005 Hi, My name is Angie. I am 32 and I have a 4year old with complex III deficiency. I have been having some weird little problems over the last several months and am wondering if they could be mito related. I'll start by listing my current symptoms. Fatigue, muscle pain and cramping (burning) with even mild activity, intermittent numbness in my left thigh and right foot that comes with activity. I also have an increasingly poor memory, I feel HOT most of the time, and have been having nerve pain in other areas. I have not lost much strength though. I have also gained about 25 pounds in the last year and a half. Now for the medical history. I have had 5 miscarriages, autoimmune thyroid disease, overactive bladder issues, bipolar (VERY well controlled!!), Supraventricular tachycardia, asthma, and unexplained sudden uterine prolapse at age 26 (it happened within 2 weeks time). Maybe none of this means anything. I was hoping to get some honest opinions from others who have mito or are knowlegeable about it. Thank you in advance for any opinions you can offer.

Guest guest Posted April 28, 2005 Report Share Posted April 28, 2005 Angie, I can relate to the feeling hot all the time and the fatique and the intermittent numbness. I have MELAS but very mild symptoms. My sister had the seizures. Anyhow, after my sister was diagnosed and I met with her doctor before I was officially diagnosed he asked me about different problems I had in my medical history. Seemingly unrelated but they are all related. He was especially concerned about memory. Another funny question he asked was if I climb steps one at a time or a couple at a time. The mito can affect any part of the body depending on where the bad mito are and can all seemingly be unrelated until someone puts two and two together.
