Hi all!
I’m 28 female and the past 4 weeks I’ve been having some strange symptoms and been pretty poorly with it since. I’m having tests and with my gp who doesn’t seem to concern, but certainly doesn’t help my worry. My symptoms have been weakness in arms and legs, blurry vision, random twitching all over. My body jolting in the night and waking me up. Nausea, pins and needles and numb patches. Internal tremor and burning pain randomly in my arms and fingers. Also my balance sometimes can be off and definitely experiencing brain fog. These symptoms come and go all the time and never really stick around but I’m always having a least one symptom going on. I’ve definitely started to get better over the last couple of weeks but symptoms are still present and annoying. I put ms to my gp but he doesn’t think that’s what it is and very much pointing towards anxiety and depression but I’m only down because of what’s been going on. I’m a single mother of 2 and so worried something is seriously wrong and just want to feel better for them. Thank you
I’m 29 having very similar symptoms but for the last 3 years. They’ve gotten worse over time but I have pins and needles every day. Muscle spasms every other day, burning sensations in my thigh the list goes on. When I had my first ever flare up my neurologist suggested transverse myelitis. However my symptoms haven’t gone away and are still here I’ve just had an mri on cervical spine and brain. Just waiting for the results now.
You know what’s normal and what isn’t for your body. I’d keep pushing keep record of your symptoms and write down how long they last for etc. I did this took it to my GP then it was finally investigated further. Sometimes it’s best to ask to have an appointment with the lead GP of your surgery. They seem to be more invested in helping and referring you to the right place rather than fobbing you off.
Hi Katie!
Sorry to hear you’ve been going through it! It’s a very dark place when everyone around doesn’t get it. I’m still in limbo a year later… I had a mri on my brain it come back clear and waiting for an appointment with a neurologist. Thinking about going private to finally get some answers. All I think about it the fact I’m almost 30 and already feel like my body is falling apart… hope you too get some answers from your mri

Sorry to hear you still have no answers! It’s seems to be such a long long process and it’s emotionally draining. That’s exactly what I feel like. Like I’m old before my time and my body is falling to pieces
