Hello everyone, I am a 19 years old High school student and last year was a total nightmare for me and now it continues. I do not know what is happening with me but it scares the hell out of me. So I hope you can help me to understand these symptoms and help me maybe because i am desperate, docs are desperate and they too do not know what is happening.
So it all started after a leg injury where ultrasound was needed to check for injuries. Instead of telling me that everything is fine I was told that my muscles are weak in docs opinion and I should see a neuro. I was surprised because I was athletic and I was running a cycling regularly and everything was fine. by the time I was about to make an appointment with neuro twitching has started. It has started in legs and spread everywhere shortly.
Then extreme fatigue and muscle tiredness came so I was unable to cycle and run like before. Actually my muscles got really tired after small exertion.
It continued with more than 1 year of tests and I literally got all the tests done, 3 MRIs, every possible blood test in the world basically everything had good results except EMG. Had 3 EMGs from which 2 of them were slightly bad. By bad I mean there were some polyphasic potentials and some myogenic lesion but I don’t know what does these terms mean.
After a year I got a diagnosis of depression, generalized anxiety disorder and Benign Fasciculation syndrome. Not sure If I can trust the doctors because I cannot cycle anymore, run like before and my muscles are extremely fatigued and shaky.
And 2 days ago I was carrying some wood into house and after that I noticed my left thumb is really weak. Then I found out I lost almost all my strength in the thumb. I cannot grip anything with it. It lost almost all of its strength.
Now I have a really bad feeling that I was misdiagnosed and I have some serious issue. Please is here someone who can tell what this can be.
