Default My Introduction

Hello everyone as a new member to this forum I found this forum after discussing these symptoms on microsoft copilot. Also, I have messaged chatgpt and it suggested I may have a neurological condition. Thus I thought this forum may be able to help me with these symptoms.

I have been experiencing the following symptoms: My right side feels weird like it is aging faster than normal and or deteriorating. I have difficulty looking to the right like I'll try to look 60 degrees to the right but only end up looking 30 degrees (it is the opposite when looking to the left.). Also my right eye moves around in weird ways and feels like it can't focus on anything right. I also get pains on my right side. Important note that I do not have these problems on my left side. Additionally, I notice when I hold something in my hand I feel a sense of awkwardness and confusion like I can't think straight.

These symptoms have been going on for about 6 months and make me feel miserable. I have grew up with a schizophrenic father that probably also had other mental problems. Also I got hit by a car while riding a bicycle where I hit my head on the windshield about 8-9 years ago and was hospitalized for about 10 days. Don't know if these factors are contributing to my symptoms.

I explained these symptoms to my primary care doctor but he wrongly dismissed the cause as my attitude. I really don't think that's the case.

I am joining this forum hoping that I can get some guidance on finding the appropriate doctor for me. Also hope that I can get some sympathy from others and help me to feel better as I get none from my family.

Welcome, HelloEverybody!

It's too bad that your doctor has dismissed your symptoms. Although I have no medical training, I think you should have been referred to a neurologist for a workup.

Weakness on one side can be a sign of many different conditions. It is real, not imaginary, and definitely not "attitude."

Could you find a different primary care doctor and clearly explain your symptoms as you did here? And ask for a referral to a neurologist?

I'm sorry you've had to wait a while for a reply here.
