I am 22 years old and as of two months ago
I have been completely healthy my whole
life. The first symptom that I noticed
was weakness of the jaw. When I start
eating it is completely normal but after a
few bites my jaw goes weak and I cant
chew. Its gets better after rest but it
doesnt seem to be getting better over the
weeks. The next symptom I have is after
typing for a while, my right hand gets
like cramped up and cant really move.
Another symptom I have is general muscle
weakness in my whole body. I have always
been physically fit and two months ago I
was able to do over forty pushups with no
problems. Now I can do none. I feel
completely normal all day long with no
dizzyness, headache, or fatigue I just
have muscle weakness and chewing and
typing problem. I have been to my general
care doctor and she had me take a emg for
myasthenia gravis and blood work for
tyroid, glucuse, mono, anemea etc and all
were completely normal. I also went to
an oral surgeon about the chewing and he
couldnt find anything wrong. My doctor
swears its stress because I often overwork
myself and im at a crucial crossroads at
my life but I dont buy it. Im trying to
get in to the neurologist to have an mri
but my doctor says that my symptoms dont
point in any sure fire direction like ms,
als etc. Has anyone had similar symptoms
or can see any pattern in my madness. I
think stress is bs but who knows. Any
feedback would great. Thanks
