I have difficulty walking due to leg pain, edema, weakness in my right arm and hand, slow speech, and worsening handwriting. I had an MRI that showed three spots on my brain and I'm retaining a lot of water in my legs. I have no balance and limited use of my right arm. I also lose my train of thought and struggle with speech. What could be causing these symptoms?

I skip periods regularly and did not have one in May. I took a pregnancy test in early June which was negative, but another test on June 17th was positive and confirmed by a doctor. Yesterday, at the OB/GYN, no fetal heartbeat was detected with an ultrasound, and the fetus size was 1.35 mm. Could I only be a few weeks pregnant, which is why no heartbeat was found?

I'm going on my honeymoon in a few weeks and will be menstruating at that time. Is there anything I can do to delay my period? I am not pregnant or nursing and have had my tubes tied, so pregnancy is not an issue.
