Distraught and nowhere to turn

I am a 26 year old male, with Scheuermanns disease which causes me great pain. I have been having trouble breathing for over a year, and feeling weak and fatigued, especially after any exertion at all. Lung exams, EKG, and heart ultrasound have come back excellent. About five months ago I noticed an odd feeling in my right calf, which I can only describe as a spasm feeling that feels tight from my calf to the achilles. It has caused me difficulty with walking. I have been having trouble with my right hand. I am still able to move it but it feels weak and I have trouble picking things up, holding on to things. It is difficult to describe. It is almost like it doesn't want to do what I want it to. There is no numbness but every so often there is a very slight tingling in the little finger side. Also I have been twitching all over my body for the past few weeks. My neck hurts constantly and there is a pressure/pain where my skull meets my spine. Also have had trouble speaking for the past three years, stepping over my words, trouble pronouncing certain syllables. I have had extensive bloodwork and MRI of brain and spine, all of which came back normal. I have been so distraught and scared for so long and it seems there is no help or answers anywhere. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated

    Hi Zach. Sorry to hear of your health issues. Has anyone suggested fibromyalgia to you? Try having a look at the symptoms on Google and see what you think. A lot of your symptoms (if not all) are those associated with Fibro.
