First I would like to thank everyone in this community that is being very supportive because I know your time is very valuable.
I am a 25 year old male. It has been an ongoing battle with my mind for the past five years because ever since I turned 20 I would have twitches all over my body.
When I was 21 I notice that I struggled saying some words and twitching was present in my tongue. A couple years later that went away but I still would notice twitching all throughout my body. Flash forward to 23, I noticed that my shoulders would shake whenever I put my arms down. That was the first time I ever experienced weakness like that and it freaked me out. That also went away but came back like a week ago and recently I have been facing my own challenge, I recently ruptured my patellar tendon and ever since then I’ve been getting weird sensations all over my body.
I try to tell myself that everything is going to be okay but I cannot help myself. I’ve been feeling weak lately along with twitching all over my body. I have been on this website like a maniac reading everything. It started with my body being very sensitive, anywhere I would lay down, my arms would start to get numb easily, when I sit on the Toilet my legs start to get numb within minutes , as if I cut off circulations. My left arm started to twitch like crazy. I never experienced anything like that , it feels like my arm is pulsating and is not letting me sleep, the past two night I haven’t been able to sleep very well either. My shoulders also shake when I put my arms down again. I woke up with my chest shaking today as If the room was very cold because last night it felt like my throat was closing up and it felt like the front of my throat was exhausted from holding my head up all day.
The front of my throat feels like it is swelling up and it feels like it is getting weak. As I move my chin to my chest there is a bit of shaking. My throat has a bit of hoarseness as if I’m losing my voice but can still talk but my throat is raspy. It feels like i have a sore throat but i don’t know, i am so lost right now.
All this has been happening for almost two weeks but the symptoms with my throat have been going on for the past three days, it is very hard to explain how my throat feels because I’ve never experienced anything like this, it just feels like there is swelling all throughout the sides of my throat and it has a bit of tickling feeling in the middle of my throat. My hyoid bone feels weak .
I feel very helpless, could this be a sign of bulbar? I would really apprecitate anyone that responds as I am going crazy thinking about everything that has been going on with me. I have read the stickies and everything but I feel like something is wrong with me and I am seeking guidance.
