Default new and completley fed up

hey im new here and I don't know were this would fit

so in oct last year my left leg went numb in the space of a hour and I was reduced to not being able to walk unless I had crutches

since then iv rapidly declined and pain has shot up

I now have no feeling or use of my left leg cant move any part even if I wanted to. its risen upwards into my hip and numb there unable to use it to walk, stomach chest neck and face is all numb stopping on the midline.
then over these last few weeks my right leg has started to go numb and my spine has become extremely painful.

had mri of my spine and head that are normal, having another set done but honestly just feel that its so they can say nope nothing on there

stuck in my bed since iv got worse, even with crutches it has got near impossible to walk, mum literally has to drag me to the toilet so I can get there. cant get into the bath or upstairs to the shower. barely leave my room coz I cant face the prospect of trying to get downstairs unless theres a reason.
getting a wheelchair of the nhs but wont get any other help like a OT until the docs say iv got so and so wrong which they cant meanwhile im having to youtube instructions on how to get about with things seen as I wasn't born like this or needing to use a wheelchair

on pregab and morphine at night however that's the only time im pain free

got a neurologist app end of april as the soonest but was in a n e last week and their neurologist spoke with him and he then can to speak with me saying unless these mri show anything then im going be left as an undiagnosed neurological case.
which makes near impossible for me to get benefits properly or insurance for holiday as its undiagnosed.
and iv had to quite my job
so at 23 im going end up living a life in a wheelchair cozz theres nothing on a mri.
