Hi there! My name is Stephanie, I started my search for answers back in march and have still been traveling down the slow road to an official diagnosis. I am feeling very discouraged because everytime I think there is hope of some sort of an answer, I always get crushed when the results come back normal. I have been to chiropractors, OBGyns, doctors, eurologist, had multiple labs drawn including lymes test (which was negative), multiple scans done (like CTs and X-rays) and everything so far has come back normal including brain MRI. First I thought I was out of alignment so I started seeing a chiropractor, but it gave no relief, I also kept feeling like I always had a bladder infection but tests were always normal, then a few months ago I started getting really tired and shakey and I thought maybe I was diabetic and started testing blood sugar and it was always normal. Then I started feeling off mentally and couldn’t remember conversations, couldn’t remember what I was just saying, and had a hard time figuring out words. I cried to my husband and told him I feel like my body and mind are giving up on me. A couple weeks later I called my sister and told her I felt like I had diabetes, dementia, and arthritis. I spent a couple months in bed whether it was fatigue, shakiness, brain fog, or back/hip pain. At one point I thought I had cancer that had spread to my brain and bones but all scans and tests were normal. Then one day I started having really bad pain around my ribs both sides front and back, then my shoulders and shoulder blades started hurting. So I saw another doctor but by the time I saw her, everything was gone and I felt normal again. Then a month or two ago I felt a weird feeling on the top of my hand that felt like there was a hair on it but no matter how hard I tried I couldn’t find it. And I remembered the same thing happening when I first started getting sick last time. Then I started getting really bad anxiety like I had the last time I was sick, then I woke up weak and shakey and tired. So went back to the doctor and she said it sounds neurological and might be MS, she did the touch your finger to your nose test and I failed with my left hand, so she ordered a brain MRI and I felt so hopeful because it would make so much sense and would explain so many things. But the brain MRI ended up coming back normal and I am so discouraged again. I asked my doc about spine MRI and she said she is putting in a referral to neuro. And again, I feel hopeful but also don’t want to keep getting my hopes up for an answer. Now I’m sitting here barely able to walk cause the hip pain, and even sitting upright too long hurts my back and ribs. Im 31 with three kids and just want an answer. And if it’s not MS I wouldn’t even know where to go from there.
