Opinions on my symptoms ? I am desperate.
2 weeks ago on Sunday , I (F19) contracted food poisoning from eating undercooked chicken. A violent wave of vomiting followed and I was bedridden for a week. On Monday of this week, my calves were hurting like hell, it felt like I had ran a whole marathon despite not having been outside in a while.
On Tuesday, I was sending voice messages to a friend of mine and couldn’t breath while doing so, it felt like I was running out of air and that my body had forgotten the fact that it could breath automatically forcing me to manually breath, I was literally out of by simply talking which is uncommon for me as I was always very active person up to last week.
On Wednesday I went back to school due to having some exams and as soon as I came back home it felt like I was having an even harder time breathing. I couldn’t stand up without feeling like I was about to collapse. Which is when I googled my symptoms and saw the possibility of them being related to GBS. I talked about it with my parents who quickly dismissed it, saying I was probably just tired. However, now my calves and my legs were both hurting.
On Thursday , my fingers started feeling weird as if they were retracting on themselves and after about 30 minutes I had difficulty raising my right arms fingers. They were shaking as I was trying to raise them compared to my other hand, I even manage to catch the difference on camera and it was flagrant. Later that night, I had troubles swallowing like there was always residuals of saliva no matter how much I swallowed and it felt a burning sensation in my left arms and i felt like my fingers were filled with needles.
Friday I went to school for a exam and had a hard time writing with my right hand, I also felt like I was out of breath while simply sitting there and writing. On my way back home, it felt like I had to physically keep my left fingers occupied or else I was starting to loose all sensation from them same thing with my left leg, my fingers also felt insanely cold.
Once I got home, the same thing happened again i could hardly raise my fingers once again and it felt like if I wasn’t moving them, they would disappear and go fully numb. I also couldn’t swallow properly water or any liquid. Afterwards later that day, my right toes started tingling and feeling weird. Those feelings kept coming and going.
Today,Sv Saturday, my parents took me to the ER. I could barely talk due to feeling heavily out of breath. The doctor basically told me that she wasn’t worried about me and that my symptoms were simple anxiety related to food poisoning and made me do a blood test and then sent me home.
The thing is, I documented my symptoms in my notes app and I can observe an obvious degradation so I was wondering if anyone could be me an opinion ? My parents are telling to wait and see my family doctor on Thursday but the thing is, with how quick my symptoms seems to progress I don’t know if it is a good idea to even wait.
