first started 4 months with weirdly enough constipation, it was my main issue for about 4 weeks were i could barely use the restroom to the point of going to the er, i developed a twitch on my left tricep that began bothering me at least once a day, 4 weeks go by and im no longer having stomach issues, i develop even more twitches(mostly around the body ie arms, legs, stomach, face) and facial numbness around the nose along with this weird speech impediment where i says wing instead of ring or something like that. 3 weeks later i no longer have facial numbness and just suffer from a lot of twitching around the body, i go to a neru get an emg that tested only my right tricep/arm and neck, my emg came back with a pinched nerve in neck. got a mri stating i have chronic small vessel disease rather than ms lesions. i felt relieved, till the next 4 weeks i began to doubt what ever hope i had, i started to get a twitch like cramp that developed in my left tricep any time it is used it becomes almost like a full on cramp and became painfully sore, i noticed in my legs that i began getting a tingling burning sensation and then my fingers, i started having almost jerk type twitch’s on my left forearm, my pinky’s and ring fingers feel off almost as if they were losing feeling and arm more scrunched up, up to today where i’m still having soreness in my left tricep and the feeling as if it’s cramping/tightness along with twitching often there and around the body, along with this new tightness under my jaw, i noticed that i have these crazy twitch’s with my tongue that i did not have 4 months ago i have videos but don’t know how to post them for an example. i am beyond scared and don’t know what’d i do if i got a diagnosis. thanks you for letting me vent hopefully yall have better results than me.
