Hello everyone, i've had these symptoms for over 4 years now and have been told it's just anxiety and depression, this seems like a common theme when doctors can't reach a diagnosis. Anyways, i have a whole lot of symptoms and would appreciate any advice you guys can give me. I'm a 20 year old male and have been experiencing these symptoms since i was 16 and have convinced myself i have frontal lobe dementia i've had ct brain scans and they've come back negative for anything. My symptoms are: Working memory loss (I have trouble following conversations, and if this makes sense i don't remember doing things, for example i'd go to put away a dish and i wouldn't recall ever putting it away and then i'd look back and freak myself out almost immediately, this happens several times a day on numerous tasks) , trouble making decisions, confusion, muscle twitching, muscle spasms, muscle weakness in my right dominant hand (I still lift weights but it's really hard to at times because i have less energy), headaches brought on by social interaction or loud environments, word/language issues i would read a familiar word and not understand what it means, processing issues, i read sentences wrong sometimes, i have to ask people to repeat what they said because i'm unable to understand certain things they said, my vision is getting worse, i'm very forgetful as well i forget things almost instantly after thinking of the the skin on my face feels dead, i also have TMJ issues my jaw locks sometimes at night and its so painful and hard to
open my jaw clicks when i eat as well all the time, when i get off anti depressants i become depressed again and very anxious i feel as if i developed bipolar disorder and OCD due to all of this and just am very scared, i also can't visualize things the way i used to, i have trouble with mental arithmetic i can still do it it's just a lot harder, i have very little motivation as well and am just a lot more anti social then i was 4 years ago. When all this started i went into deep depression and then i started to take antidepressants and that helped a lot with the depression but not the physical and cognitive symptoms. However, the cognitive symptoms are getting progressively worse slowly which scares me. I've ordered a blood panel kit from igenex roughly a week ago and am still waiting. Any thoughts and advice would be much appreciated i cannot find anyone with similar symptoms to me and its just so scary honestly.
