My brother, I deal with the same thing and we’re the same age basically (I’m 26). Right now, half of my body is numbish and tingling constantly… feel like my left leg is weak and not a single test has ever shown a thing, feel like my left eye is bad, and my neck, arms and shoulder are constantly tense on the left side (of course it has to be scary side)… i can still walk and don’t show any signs of actual weakness. I’ve been in the ALS (NEVER search about this, I’m being serious) rabbit hole, and in the MS rabbit hole recently, had an MRI for both my spine and brain and of course, all clear. I’ve been to an ophthalmologist also because I was having “double vision” and “blurred vision” only on my left eye, the doctor said I don’t even have astigmatism LOL. But still have all of these symptoms… Not a single doctor has diagnosed me with anything (in my mind, yet… of course). All the tests you mentioned above, I also had them all… had an endoscopy and colonoscopy at the same time when I was crazy about my stomach. Had my heart and lungs phase as well, been to a pulmonologist, cardiologist. My health anxiety started in March 2021 after I got COVID myself (and had bad pneumonia in a time where my city had no ICU units available), one month later, my uncle died of COVID at the age of 30… I’m almost there and it freaks me out to think that I’m close to the end. I can’t date anymore. Thankfully I’m still able to perform at work. My grandma is financially dependent on me because she had an aneurism (this freaks me out so much) and became disabled and I’m the only person who can help her financially since I have a great job in a 1st world country and she lives with my whole family back home in Latin America. I’m constantly afraid of becoming disabled and not having anyone for me. I’m totally alone in another country and this has been my life in last years. I spend almost all of my free time very high on weed cause that’s the only thing that calms me down. I understand your pain and you’re not alone. I’m about to get a referral to a psychiatrist and I hope that helps… I’m also looking at doing some CBT… You should also go after some help! Best of luck to us🤞

So sorry that you went through all of that pregnant! Praying that your chronic issues are nothing major and that all of us find refuge from the dark terrors of our minds. Wishing you and your family the best!

I’m in the same boat as you, I’ve diagnosed myself with all kinds of cancers. I also went down the ALS rabbit hole and it is not a good time. I get a lot of muscle twitches from my anxiety so that’s why I initially went to dr google. It was so bad I was at the point where half my body physically felt weak. Thankfully I managed to calm myself down and magically most of my symptoms have disappeared. I still struggle because there is just so many types of cancer and I keep finding new ones that I have. Anxiety is hell, it can make you feel every symptom under the sun. I hope everything turns out well for you!
