Nausea (followed by vomiting), weakness (so much that walking across a flat surface is hard, let alone up the staircase), stiffness, dizziness, and can’t sleep.

Yet with those symptoms there was nothing wrong shown on the PET scan, and the CT scan for the brain came out sparkling clean as well.

Doctors have not found any related disease or sickness which applies to the case above.

Any ideas?

(P.S. oh, there has been a diagnosis of osteoporosis, if that information is relevant)

AnswerVitamin D deficiency, vitamin B12 deficiency, thyroid imbalance. all have leg weakness as a symptom and can include your other symptoms. Vitamin D deficiency significantly increases your risk of osteoporosis. I found a website with a good treatment plan to build up bone density and reverse osteoporosis.

Vitamin D deficiency is linked to calcium deficiency and magnesium deficiency as all need each other in sufficient levels in the body to absorb properly. Vitamin D deficiency is linked to many other conditions, and is shown to trigger some autoimmune diseases and increases the risk of cancer. many who have been diagnosed with vitamin D deficiency can also have a vitamin B12 deficiency and/or a thyroid imbalance. With vitamin B12, this deficiency affects parathyroid gland which regulates calcium in the body. when calcium levels are low, vitamin D cannot absorb. Vitamin B12 deficiency has a major symptom of dizziness as well as leg weakness, sleep problems and nausea. Thyroid imbalances cause leg weakness, dizziness, sleep problems and nausea.

I would recommend testing for vitamin D, vitamin B12 serum and urinary methylmalonic acid test (most accurate at picking up a B12 deficiency) and a thyroid panel – TSH, free T3, T4 and thyroid antibodies test.
