Default Hi everyone :)

I'm here because I do not know where else to turn.

Briefly, my problems started about 3 years ago, just after the birth of my son, I had a list of symptoms as long as your arm and was initially given antidepressants. Fast forward a few months and I was eventually diagnosed as hypothyroid. Continuing on the journey, only ever feeling "normal" fleetingly, I saw an endo who gave me a combination treatment for my hypo and said there was nothing more to be done.

At this point I begged my GP for help, his exact words were 'I've never met an OAP with chronic fatigue syndrome.' I'm 31 yrs old and struggling with normal life but it's ok it will get better on its own in about 35 years

Having my arms get pins and needles whilst driving, causing me to briefly lose control of the car, made me see another doctor for another opinion. I was at this point sent to a neurologist and it is roughly where I am now. I have met him, he did some tests, basically hit me with a hammer, poked me with a pin and watched me do a sobriety test

I am booked in for an MRI on the 22nd of this month and 4 days later an evoked potential test.

I'm a little bit lost with it all if I'm honest and just hoped other people may understand, so here I am

Hello
