Hello guys,
I'm writing here because I'm very concerned for my boyfriend, he is going through something very weird and I need guidance as he is suffering. He has Ankyolising spondylitis and is in pain and has muscle twitching from few years and widespread muscle pain and pins and needles.
He was scratched by a ferral cat December 2022 and got a lot of vaccines. After the scratch he developed herpes zoster aka Shingles near the scratch, and was in a lot of nerve pain. The symptoms progressed and he got sore throat and weakness in the arm. The weakness spread to the right leg from the right arm and them his right side of the face for very short time. There is a lot of muscle twitching and intense nerve pain. In the places where there is weakness. His throat is not better and he has trouble swallowing, pain when breathing and has saliva and mucous from the sinuses.
Do you have any suggestions and guidance? Doctors are saying he is too young for anything serious, but I know those disease can effected young people.

- He had clean brain MRI and his cervical spine is effected by his autoimmune disease but there is no issue that can cause those symptoms.
- He is anemic with genetic type of anemia. Thalassemia
- He had NCS which showed abnormality and issues with his spinal root nerves. In his right leg and right arm.
