I have been having some issues that worry me. I am an 18 year old male and I feel like death. I just don't feel okay. I guess you could say dull, tired, and down.
When I was younger, I was diagnosed with ADHD. The medicine I was on was giving my psychosis, so I had to get off of it. A year later, I still "see" things. I don't see people, but I see shadows in the corner of my eyes and I see (this has always been difficult for me to explain to others, and still haven't heard of anyone else experiencing the same thing) the outlines of objects. For instance: if I were to look at a car, and then look away, I will see a white outline of the car in my vision and it takes sometime to go away. Of course, it doesn't happen all the time and it's not just cars (really it's anything in my field of vision). I heard people with MS have vision issues, but I am not sure if it is like what I just described.
Anyways, that wasn't the big alarm. The thing that makes me worried is my fatigue. I am so tired all the time and I feel like I am going to die. I exercise and what not, but to no avail I still feel like. I feel as if it has gotten worse over the last 4 months and these past couple of weeks has been weird. I don't feel like I am even in my head (so to speak). I don't know.. it's just weird. I feel distanced(?) from my body. The other thing is that I noticed recently that my grip is extremely weak. I drop things all the time. Another thing that really worries me is that my hand twitches a little bit. It twitched before, but now it seems like it twitched more.
I went and had an MRI over a year ago and it was fine, and I will probably go get another one soon. I don't know if my doctor will order it, but if my MRI comes back fine again, should I get a spinal tape? I heard it hurts like hell, but I have also heard that it has diagnosed many that way.
Thank you for reading this.. I mean, really.. Thank you!!
