So I am a 23 year old pretty healthy. But for the last 2 years I have just felt unwell. It started with just suddenly being very fatigued, sweating at night, being told I look unwell and just losing so much energy. I went to the doctor and of course got the usual tests, said I was okay. Then I got weird pressure and tension headaches along with all of that, went to doctor referred to neuro and said I probably had occipital neuralgia causing it and gave me a steroid injection. Headaches on and off since then.
Then the twitching started not long after that, was never and hasn't been accompanied by actual muscle damage and weakness so I was cleared of ALS by a neuromuscular last year. But the fatigue continued, never even thought of asking about MS. Since then I get constant numbness when I sit down on my left side that I always have to shake off but just seems weird. When I do exercise my legs vibrate and tingle like crazy. I have a had lower than usual WBC doctor shrugged it off. and just the fatigue which is worse than others at times.
Does any of this sound familiar? Am I going crazy? My aunt who is now passed was diagnosed with MS at age 22.
