New or worsening cognitive issues but MRI and CT show nothing abnormal! What next..?
Some details, I’m 30 and as far as I’m aware- I caught the delta variant of Covid in Dec of 2021 and I believe that to be the one and only time I caught Covid. For the last few years, I’ve dealt with cognitive issues like tremors in my muscles when I stand like in my legs or arms. I will bite down on my cheek or tongue by accident when chewing food a lot but it comes and goes (like I’ll have a week where I keep doing it and then followed by like a month of not doing it). I’ve had brain fog too and have developed extreme anhedonia in the last year. I have confirmed and been diagnosed with ME/CFS, POTS, and Fibromyalgia.
The last month- my cognitive issues have gotten considerably worse. And I am nearly bed bound so I don’t leave the house- haven’t been sick with so much as a cold in over a year. I have no idea wtf has changed but I am experiencing a huge change in cognitive stuff lately: my dreams have been feeling consistent and real enough that I have been having a hard time differentiating between reality and the dreams upon waking up and it takes me a bit to center myself. I have been having behavioral changes… like typically I am anti social but all I want to do is talk to people lately and I’m energetic about it. My memory is non existent like short term? Lol I do not remember jack shit and I’ve had repeated conversations without realizing it. I have a really hard time speaking in the sense of that I keep stuttering with words while my brain is “buffering” on finding words and I can’t always figure out what words to say even though I know what I’m trying to say. I’ve gotten lost while navigating. My dyslexia has gotten worse. I’ve had persistent headaches but I’ve gotten them nearly every day for the past month now.
I’ve just had a CT scan done last week and MRI done today and both with and without contrast. Both results came back with no abnormalities in my brain apparently. I know I’m not psyching myself out into experiencing these symptoms. I have no idea wtf to do next. Any other test recommendations? Also… anyone else experience something similar? Like I know something is up with me- but I feel like I’m going crazy with these test results showing my head is fine!
