Hello guys, been reading this forum on and off for a few years whenever i get health anxiety, and sadly i google every single little problem that happens to my body and have done since i was about 13.
I'm 21 now and in that time i've convinced myself i had ALS, brain tumours and several other problems, but none turned out to be true, which does help me feel a bit better here... but..
The last few months i've had some really weird symptoms and every single time i search on google or anywhere else MS seems to pop up continually and it's terrifying me.
It all started in around august where i felt some strange weekness in my left arm which made very small volunatary shakes/movements whenever i moved it, and then i got a numbness (this is hard to describe as it wasn't actually numb but it felt numb, even though i could still feel it) in my pinky finger, which went on and off and has stopped now, but then it went into my left foot at around christmas time, and again was on and off.
For the last 3 or so weeks i've also had pretty much non stop twitching all over my body (i have had twitching in the past but never for this long).
Also other symptoms are a strange feeling in my head, some memory issues and on and off tingling on random body parts which doesn't stay long.
I'm 21, 6 foot 6 and 300 lb. My diet is very poor and i don't do much excercise at all. I worry alot and i realize my vitamins could be low so i have just started taking a multivitamin (made sure it had b12) these last few days. I've had anxiety disorder since i was 10.
Any help is really really really appreciated! very worrysome time for myself
And one more thing, i know the most obvious answer is to visit the hospital and get tests, but i've never gone to the hospital for any of my worries in the past as i'm absolutely terrified of finding out and my life being ruined. Cheers!:hugs:
