Having one sided numbness today. I am scared.
I have been through multiple autoimmune diseases and I think I may have MS. I don’t have any weakness but my leg felt heavy. It hasn’t effected my face. I am honestly scared and don’t know how to feel. I am completely sadden that yet again I claim another tragedy with being autoimmune. This never ends with me. I am become more crippled by the minute. I’m only 22 and male and I never thought I would have MS but yet I somehow may have defied the odds against my will.
I just can’t believe after years of fearing I may have Jxned myself after waking up with left sided numbness with my legs and arms and feet being numb. It’s unreal. This can’t be real. This has to be something else. I was under so much stress before dealing with other health issues of dealing with other autoimmune issues and now this. Just why
I will let our MS moderators respond tomorrow, hoping they can help you think through these symptoms and what you may need. But I wanted to reach out tonight because I can tell you are going through so much right now. It's so much stress, like you said, and to not have answers yet is even harder. I hope this community can be a place of support, and I also emailed you some other resources. Take care, Liz (Team Member) I hope this could all just somehow be stress because the odds of somehow having ankle spondylitis psoriatic arthritis AND now MS all at the age of 22 as a male are so unbelievably rare it could just not be possible. Maybe it’s a spinal issue or something. It’s going to be extremely challenging having to wait for my appointment to meet up with my neurologist while having to deal with this one sided numbness nerve pain in which I hope doesn’t turn into anything worse or other MS adjacent symptoms start coming up.
All I know is that before all this I was already going through so much stress dealing with other autoimmune health issues I was hoping to get fix till this just had to come along and postpone that.. it’s been a nightmare and I’m only 22
