[30F] Experiencing severe neurological and gastrointestinal symptoms

What might be happening

Based on the information you've provided, it's difficult to pinpoint a single cause for all of your symptoms. However, here are some possibilities:

• Neurological conditions: Your symptoms of vision changes, hand spasms, and numbness in your hands could be related to a neurological condition, such as multiple sclerosis or a peripheral neuropathy. These conditions can cause a wide range of symptoms, including changes in sensation, muscle spasms, and vision problems.

  • Testing for these conditions typically involves a neurological examination, blood tests, and possibly imaging studies or a nerve conduction study.

• Hormonal imbalances: Your irregular periods and weight changes could be due to a hormonal imbalance, such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) or thyroid disease.

  • Testing for these conditions typically involves blood tests to check hormone levels.

• Infections: Your sensation of clumps in your throat and the knot in your ankle could be related to an infection. Bacterial infections can cause abscesses (pockets of pus), which could potentially explain these symptoms.

  • Treatment for bacterial infections typically involves antibiotics, which you're currently taking (Bactrim).

What you can do

Given the range and severity of your symptoms, it's important to seek medical attention as soon as possible. A healthcare provider can perform a thorough examination and order the appropriate tests to determine the cause of your symptoms.

In the meantime, try to rest and stay hydrated. Avoid any activities that seem to worsen your symptoms.

What you should look out for

Seek immediate medical attention if you experience any of the following:

• Severe pain
• Difficulty breathing
• Sudden worsening of your symptoms
• New symptoms
