Hi! I'm an 18 yr old female and for the past week or so I've just been feeling weird. I have a really bad weak back, so my lower back always is hurting...but now my legs are really weak sometimes and I have this tingling/numb feeling. My arms also kind of feel tingly/numb but I don't know if thats just from carpel tunnel. It's weird and I don't know what is going on. Is it just my back that's making me tingle and feel numb, or is it something with my head? I stumble sometimes, but maybe its just because I'm clumsy. I don't really have headaches to complain about because they're never that bad anyways. Also when I'm sitting down, I shake my leg, but I've just heard thats you being nervous...I don't know what I'm really asking here...it's just plain weird!

You need to see a doctor asap. There are many things your symptoms could be caused from. A neugologists would be best but you could go to your own doc. If you don't have one get one. These sysmpoms are nothing to fool around with get your throid checked, get your sugars checked. Get checked for MS. Please don't fool around with this. like I don't have enough money, don't have a doc. I can't begin to tell you how important getting these symptoms checked. Don't be afraid. The sooner you get diagnosed the better chance you have for making all the stuff go away. Good luck. I'll keep you in my prayers.
