I’m a 19 year old male , take no medication. Could I still have multiple sclerosis if I tested negative? So about a year ago I was having vision problems in my right eye and decided to see an eye doctor. When he took a look at my eye he saw swelling of the optic nerve and sent me to a neurologist. After getting a bunch of tests done they diagnosed me with optic neuritis and had no idea what caused it. Optic neuritis is sometimes an early stage of ms so they sent me to the ER to have an MRI and a blood test (not sure what for exactly it was along time ago) both tests came back negative. So it’s been almost a year and a couple months ago I’ve been having a lot of pain in my legs and a lot of muscle spasms way more than usual. I’ve also been feeling very depressed lately don’t exactly know why , but I’m usually a very happy guy. My leg pain occurs mostly when I’m laying or sitting down and it ranges from my upper/behind my knee to about mid-calf level and severity on a scale of 1-10 is about an 8. I’ve also been feeling very weak and extremely tired most of my days, and at times my left leg sometimes “gives out” but not entirely. I do experience some numbness /tingling but haven’t worried much about it just cause I thought my leg/hand falls asleep. I haven’t bothered to see a doctor about it because I feel I’m just going to waste money and it’s not going to be anything. I’m 19 years old and am worrying that the tests I had didn’t catch anything and wasn’t sure if I could still possibly have ms. Would appreciate some insight!
Hi, I have not been well for some time now. I have several symptoms and I’m not sure if they are related, or there is more than one thing going on. My previous GP was AWFUL. I feel that no one can give me an answer as to what is going on. I will list my symptoms:
Severe lower back muscle pain, hips, and legs: I suffered from pelvic arthropathy when I was pregnant with my son (born March 2013), the severe pain in my pelvis is gone but I still cannot get through the day without taking painkillers for my back, my hips click when I move and the pain radiates into my legs and feet. It feels like all the muscles from my lower back, legs and feet are constantly cramping. I am so sore everyday. I have had an x-ray, which showed nothing.
Chronic diarrhoea: I have suffered this for approx 3years. Since this began I have to take a full box of anti-diarrhoea tablets everyday, this does not stop me going, it just makes my Poos soft and not watery. If I do not take the tablets, I cannot control my bowels. I have had a colonoscopy, biopsy and small intestine dye test, these were all normal.
My inflammatory markers in my bloods have been raised for 4+ years.
My sleep pattern is from one extreme to the other, I either suffer from insomnia for weeks on end or I can’t stay awake and very fatigued for weeks on end.
I believe I suffer from a condition call Hidradenitis Supparitiva.
I have had a significant weight gain when I was pregnant (2012-2013) and there after(I went from being 8st to 15st. I have managed to get my weight down to 13st 3lb however I can’t seem to shift anymore. I am 5’2. I do not have a big appetite and can only eat small amounts. What I eat does not justify my weight.
My bloods all appear to be normal, apart from my inflammatory markers.
I feel that noone wants to find out what is wrong and drs are making me feel like it’s all in my head, it’s not. I just want to know what is wrong.
I would really appreciate any help or advise you could give me. I am female and 27years ild. Thankyou.

I’m 21, with no history of allergies or skin conditions. About six months ago, I had gotten the first rash I’ve ever had. As I irritated it with scratching it eventually covered my whole stomach, and was scale-y feeling. After some time it went away.
Currently, I’m having the same problem. This time it’s my collar bone/neck. A few days ago it itched, and now it’s getting larger and has the same scale y texture.
I wear the same necklace everyday, and it shouldn’t be contact dermatitis from that. The rash is only in one small area and I have no metal allergies and I’ve worn this jewelry for quite some time.
What is it, and how can i prevent this issue? It only itches occaisonally, and it’s not painful or inflamed. Theres no “gunk” crust, or gross discharge of any kind.
Male, 29, I sometimes have awaken in the middle of the night and urinated in a different area as I was dissertated..Initially I thought maybe this had something to do with alcohol but that didn’t seem to be it. I continue to consume on occasion and no further episodes. I have never been a sound sleeper and usually have disruptive sleep patterns..I have since been using melatonin supplements before bed more regularly and no episodes. Is it ok to use the melatonin to allow me to have a more restful sleep? I do not want to take prescription drugs if I can prevent it. Thank you.
Before I had several sexual partners but as of now I only have one partner. My partner was diagnosed with ngu (non gonoccocal urethritis) because he was experiencing yellowish-green discharge. I went to have myself checked and I was diagnosed with bacterial vaginosis. I was prescribed metronidazole forte a vaginal suppository (1 suppository a night for 7 days). My partner was also prescribed meds and took an anti-gonorrhea injection. When I went back to my ob-gyne she said I was already cured. When my partner and I had intercourse without condom, it was very painful for me. I went to another ob-gyne and I was diagnosed with vulvovaginitis and uti because of my high wbc count in my urinalysis. She prescribed Cefuroxime 500 mg (2x a day with an interval of 12hrs for 1 week) and Travocort Cream (2x application within a day). My partner told me that his ngu came back because he noticed he had yellowish-green stains again and he’s also taking his meds. I’m done with my medications and will soon visit my ob-gyne again for a follow up check up. I just want to know if my past bacterial vaginosis, vulvovaginitis and uti has caused my partners ngu? I’m really worried because he has ngu for the second time now and I don’t know if it is because of me. Would like to hear from you asap! Thank you.

I’m 25 years aged male and my hands shaking or some kind of instability feels like shivering hands when I do something with more concentration. That’s before 3 year before and now it’s almost always slightly shivering my hands , and I can’t write slowly and perfectly and it’s very very difficult to manage the situation when someone is around or watching. And in past 1 year I can’t even speak in public because I felt my voice shivering and I’m getting more stage fright day by day… I don’t know how to overcome this, please help me else my social life is going to end here.
My 80 year old father in laws has this symptoms. A swollen knee, bad ear pain, slurred speech, stumbling when walking, memory loss, talking to himself, temporally not knowing who a person is, hearing things, and not listening to what someone is saying,. What I do know is he a diabetic and has had heart problems in the past, but I don’t believe whats gonna on now has anything to do with either of that. Can you please at least give an opinion on what you think it maybe. Thank you
