What Causes Severe Fatigue, Limb Weakness And Weakness In Arm?

I have a hx of 2 yr diabetes, breast cancer, IBS, and two year ago, MVA with concussion, an herniation 5-6-7 and injured bilateral knees with meniscus repairs, breast cancer with radiation/chemo. and severe psorasis, and recently put on synthyroid. Have not worked in 9 months because of severe fatigue, lower limb weakness, proper with spatial judgment, and left arm became suddenly weak, but able to do complete ROM, feels more like sensory problem in arm and heaviness. I have to rest frequently even with something as simple as putting make up on. Family hx: diabetes, htn, Parkinson, thyroid problems. If I take a Prednisone tablet or OTC ephedrine I can function but rarely take. I am worried I have MS or Parkinson. Could you direct me, I have no health insurance.

Physical Therapist or Physiotherapist,  's  Response
As per your explanation I believe you have many problems and all together if we think the fatigue, limb weakness and weakness in arm could be side effects of any of this past history and treatment taken due to your medical issue.
Here you have not given details on whether still you are on chemo or radio therapy due to best cancer or not. Because if you are on chemo and radio therapy the current issue what you have told here is common as a side effect of this also.
I can only suggest you here to do some yoga and Pranayama regularly which will help to heal your body from inside. And also take a visit of your treating doctor may be oncologist once again to share your problem and then plan for treatment.
Hope this was useful to you. Take care.
