What are the symptoms you've been having? Just out of curiosity.
I've been having blurry vision, pain in my eyes, issues focusing/my eyes have been crossing (involuntary eye movement)/double vision. The left side of my face has been going numb and tingly. I've had problems with my balance and my gait has been weird. Issues with my bowels like really constipated often. I've had a lot of lightheadedness.
I've been constantly fatigued for no reason even though I sleep for at least 8 hours a night. I started getting some sexual dysfunction which I attributed to my antidepressant even though I've been on the same dose for like 3 months but it just started in the past month. I had my psychiatrist okay me to go on a half dose of what I was on though just to see.
I've been having a lot of mental fogginess, short term memory problems, a hard time remembering words, and speech issues.
I've also been having pain in my kidney/lower rib/upper belly area which I thought might be my kidneys because I have enlarged ureters but that doesn't really cause pain. But I was looking up early symptoms of MS and I guess there's something known as the "MS hug" which is tightness around the rib/upper belly area. It's also called dysesthesia. So it could be that.
Idk I'm not trying to webmd myself but those are a lot of symptoms that are similar to early symptoms of MS so I was like shit. I thought a lot of the stuff may have been because of me stopping drinking but it just seems to have started in the last 3 months or so. Then I had an event in college too where they said it may have been linked to MS. So I figured I'll get a referral. I just really don't want to get diagnosed.
Fibromyalgia maybe? And Idk if it would explain all of it, but some of that could definitely be PAWS.
If I do I'm seriously just going to fucking dump my boyfriend because he's not going to want to be tied down with someone who is going to be disabled because he's way too active for that and I'm going to move into a studio apartment and become a hermit who just goes to work until I can't anymore and then I'll just stay alone until I die. It's fucking pointless to try to have a relationship because I'm not gonna suck someone into that. I've seen how my parents are so why bother.
If that's how you're going to play things, at least get some sugar gliders. Amazing animals that make demonic noises and only love one human.
