hey i have been having these spaced out feelings where it seems like i cant think or feel any type of emotion. i try to do things i use to enjoy but i dont feel good doing them or have any interest in doing them . this has been going on for 4 months. i feel like there is something medically wrong with me that the doctors cant find with the current test ive had. ive been to the 6 times, but they cant find anything wrong with me. all of my test come back negative. i have been having prickling and tingling in the top of my head. floaters in my eye. tingling and numbness on the left side of my body. feel like water sensations dripping in my head and down my body. i am very sensitive to cold. my mouth feels tight. its hard to formulate words at times especially when my mind goes blank. my doctor and pcp seems to think i have anxiety, but ive never felt like this constantly for months. the left side of my body feels weak and numb it also feels like fluid drops from my nead when i lay down like a sinking feeling my head always feel tight and numb. my neck and shoulders feel tight and numb. im always hungry doesnt feel like i eat enough. i have muscle twitches in my leg. sometimes i cant feel my chest or my throat. i dont want to have a brain tumor, but every other test has came back normal. i just dont understand what else could make me feel this way. the doctors seem to think its anxiety without even checking my brain. no one can be anxious for 5 months straight. someone please help me please.
if you had a brain tumor for 5 months you would not be able to even write messages on here. youd be quite ill.
yes, anxiety and your symptoms can last way longer than 5 months.
I had numbness, tingling, floaters, head pressure, brain fog, weakness, twitches, stuttering, painful neck. had all come on at the same time.
they went on strong for a year !! EVERY test was normal including mri of the brain. the symptoms didnt go away they just reduced in frequency. Anxiety CAN last longer than 5 months. mine can last months at a time. and eventually returns.
your doctors are right.
mine started in my 20s and im in my 50s now. when stressed, some of those symptoms come back. i ignore them now.
you are ok just need help with anxiety.
need to insist on getting a mri of the brain and then once the results come back fine, you will know to start trying to find ways to cop with anxiety. I guarantee you will start feeling a little better the second you leave the mri appointment…its the damndest thing!
