Hi all :) I’m sorry if this isn’t the right flair or anything based on my story I kinda don’t get Reddit. I’m a 20 year old guy and I had an episode last October where I was having numbness and altered sensation on my left side everywhere but my face. After a lot of tests it turned out that I have 5 spinal lesions but no brain lesions except for a POSSIBLE very tiny periventricular one. One OCB but I have kappa free light chain and elevated igg index (I still have no idea what that is). Upon talking to my doctor he said “we’re certain you have MS but you don’t meet criteria exactly but we’re still going to treat you” so I’m starting Kesimpta soon. But for the past few months I’ve been SO fatigued, had so much muscle tightness and pain, felt like my ribs are bruised, I can’t sit for long without becoming numb. I can’t walk for more than 10 minutes because my calves burn so bad it makes me get faint so I haven’t been able to exercise much. I missed a lot of class due to not being able to walk around campus + had to drop two classes due to attendance. I told all my symptoms to my doctor and he kind of just dismissed them? I have started acupuncture which I’m skeptical about but I can’t sleep without medication because of jaw pain and tightness and he had no solution for any of it. I was wondering if anyone has any advice or kind words or anything to say about all of this and if you guys have found any solutions or meds to deal with these symptoms since my doctor isn’t helping much. And again sorry if this should go in the undiagnosed thread I will move it!!! :)
