Hi everyone. New to the group. I'm hoping to find comfort in a group of people who can understand what anxiety does. So I've dealt with neurological issues for most of my adult life. I am now 26 years old with 2 kids and have been dealing with episodic bouts of fatigue, dizziness to the point of not being able to stand, brain fog the list goes on... well I'm seeing a neurologist at Duke medicine who is amazing and has now sent me for another MRI bc they found some excessive white matter on my brain and it's possible its MS or something of the sort which at this point in my life I would be okay with. But back in January I had a debilitating bout of dizziness and fatigue I had never experienced. I was literally on the couch for a week unable to go to work or really do anything that I normally do and waited it out. I lost about 30 pounds in a month and it's been a downward spiral. But nownive begun to twitch all over my body from my feet and calves to my abdomin and it's becoming more constant as well as a shortness of breath and tightness in the right side of my chest. Long story short (or I suppose long) I am terrified of Als. My left leg seems substantially smaller than my right and I feel like I'm losing muscle mass all over. I'm unable to gain the weight back to my presickness amount and am essentially in panic mode. I am exhausted and all the tests just keep coming back normal and I'm at the end of my rope. I guess I'm asking for some reassurance of anyone who has gone through anything similar and also if anyone has MS or something of the sort and had a similar experience I would be so happy to hear your journey. I'm in a pretty rough place and becoming a burden on my wife and kids. Thanks.
