Hello all,

I am a 25 year old male. I have browsed through a decent number of other threads here. I try very hard not to consult Dr. Google as it causes unnecessary worry and won't make my symptoms better. However, I have to wait over a month for a neurology appointment, and my GP is at a loss as to what is going on. I'm not sure where to post to get more in-depth discussion going, so I guess I'll start here.

Rather than posting a long narrative paragraph, I'll just list my symptoms below. I have been experiencing these for a little around 2 months now:

-Tremors and twitching in my arms and legs. My limbs will also occasionally jerk suddenly, but just once, and just one limb at a time.

-Numbness in my hands and lower arms, occasional paresthesia.

-My head is falling forward, for lack of a better description. I can maintain it upright when I focus on it, but it is naturally falling down towards my chest, which it never used to do. This is true whether I am sitting or walking.

-Issues with swallowing and speaking. This was actually the first symptom. I can get food and liquid down, but my throat feels tight, and my swallowing does not feel normal. I also have an extremely over active gag reflex, though the severity of this varies. I will occasionally gag repeatedly for no reason whatsoever, just while breathing, or while talking. My speech follows a strange rythm, I will forget words and proper sentence structure, stutter, slur or trip over words...my voice will also become hoarse, as though there were uncleared mucus in my throat. I feel as though I'm not getting enough air at times, though I may be psyching myself out with that one.

-Fatigue, yet difficulty sleeping for longer than a few hours

- Balance problems while walking. Not to the extent that I fall over, but I have noticed myself drifting one way or the other. Feelings of weakness in my legs while walking.

-Brain fog. Confusion, bad short term memory.

-Increased urination, usually clear colored.

I have had a CT scan, as my GP suspected a brain tumor. That came back clean. I then had an MRI, as he thought it might be MS. That also came back clean (Though it was done without contrast,making it less accurate which I was a little annoyed about.) Both of those tests did show something abnormal in my sinuses- I was prescribed an antibiotic. As I have not had follow-up tests, I do not know if that was effective. I have no family history of Huntington's Disease. My GP does believe something is wrong, but he was pretty frank in saying it's out of his league as a family doctor.


Any thoughts you all might have would be welcome, even if it's just directing me to a certain forum here. Thank you in advance.
