Firstly, I appreciate that anyone will read this and take the time to reply.
I’m currently concerned about a few symptoms that have progressed over the last 6-8 months.
In the summer of 2020 I had a few stomach issues that seemed to clear themselves up, however as that was coming to an end I randomly started to get floaters (spider web vision). This was not the odd 1-2 but a significant amount all at one time.
I saw an optician who said they were not worried and it was relatively normal for someone of my age 33M. Steadily the floaters were joined by eye pain and headaches, to the point where I had an MRI. The results from my family doctor were that I had MS, however seeing the neurologist weeks later, she dismissed that idea outright.
I chose to side with the neurologist and move on, however ever since then issues have increased not decreased. I have relatively consistent twitches all over my body, right calf most often. I have consistent pain in hands and feet with a disturbing loss of muscle mass in both feet.
I have indents in the thenar muscle of my right hand that were not there previously and achy thumbs on both hands. I’m athletic and continue to run with increasing pain in ankles/feet and lift weights with wrist/hand shakes following.
I often see that weakness is a tell tale sign of MND, and so far I have had none, that I consider to be anyway.
My apologies for the long winded message. I’m not sure this is the right place to turn, however I appreciate any input.
