Common Symptoms of Neurological Conditions:

Too often, symptoms that stem from neurological conditions are incorrectly attributed to non-neurologic causes. This is perhaps understandable when we consider that the neurological network extends throughout a person's entire body and can affect virtually all of the body's other systems. So, for instance, what may appear, at first glance, to be a gastrointestinal complaint may, in fact, have its origins in a neurological disorder. If you have experienced any of the following symptoms, you may have a neurological condition that needs to be addressed. Symptoms of neurological disorders include:

• Chronic, widespread pain
• Painful hypersensitivity to pressure
• Tingling of skin
• Numbness
• Muscle spasms
• Weakness in the limbs
• Nerve pain
• Bowel problems
• Insomnia or sleep problems
• Cognitive disorders (called “fibrofog” or “brain fog”)
• Difficulty in concentrating
• Memory problems
• Decreased attention and ability to multi-task
• Anxiety
• Depression
• Irritability
• Nervousness
• Chronic localized pain, including shoulder pain, neck pain, back pain, and hip pain
• Rashes
• Chronic pain of facial muscles
• Tingling, or “pins and needles” of the skin
• Bladder and urination problems
• Skin disorders
• Headaches/Migraines
• Muscle spasms
• Low blood sugar (hypoglycemia)
• Arthritic joint pain.
