Hello! I am desperate for help. I am a female, 21 years old, and have recently experienced a life-altering complication. I'm not sure if this is related to my current situation, but in October I experienced flu-like symptoms for about two weeks. I had a fever, muscle spasms, and joint pain. Eventually I got over it, but occasionally I would come down with a cold that lasted a bit, as well as two instances of tonsillitis. Fast forward to February, drastic things started occurring. First my legs and buttox became extremely freezing. The chill was so intense that it was painful. However my legs to the touch felt normal. I also felt tingling in my brain and stomach. When my boss or counselor tried to talk to me, I could not register or retain what they were saying. At one point I became disoriented, feeling as though I could fall over. At one point my hearing went, but then it came back within a matter of moments. The tingling went away after a few days, but I noticed muscle spasms continuing for awhile. On different areas of my body, my muscles would contract. My facial muscles would spasm too. My upper lip would twitch occasionally, as well as the skin above one of my eyebrows. My formal thought process was not/ is not the same. I can't think of simple things to say. I've lost my sense of humor. My personality is gone, and I've lost a lot of my sense of empathy. I also noticed physical sensations have deteriorated. For example, I used to be extremely ticklish. Just the notion of someone about to tickle me would make me laugh. But now, when someone tries to tickle me, I feel hardly anything. I'll also mention that I've been tested for every STD and came out clean. With some of the earlier symptoms I experienced, I thought it could be possible that I contracted HIV. I tested frequently and always came out negative . I also had an MRI done and nothing appeared out of the ordinary. Thank you for reading
