could this be ms..im only 15

Hi im 15 years old and about 3 weeks ago these strange things started to happen first,i got a veyr very bad headache for about 4 days i never have headaches so my mom took me to the er meanwhile during the headaches i noticed my arms,legs,neck jsut my whole body kept jerking but it didnt really worry me the dr. in the ER said its just a migrane (migraine) and said get some rest and sent me home about 2 days later the headache went away but the jerking twithing got worse..alone with a stiff neck..i couldnt stand it it seems like my whole body feels like it throwing itslef if u no what i mean but the bad thing is..no one else seems to see it and when i jerk i usually try move with it to make it not noticable so i begged my mom to take me to the dr.again so she did he said that i could just be a twitch and that if it didnt go away in a few days call the neuro. so i didnt go away and i did ..so he did a exam and he said theres no reason to think anythings wrong but hes sending me for a eeg and a cat scan but that id have to wait a few weeks..sinse then the jerking tiwtching..im not sure how to describe it has not stopped its all day everyday i still have a stiff neck and now i have dizzyness i am very very tired i feel like im dieing and all i can think is that i have als or ms or somehting very very bad..and that a cat scan is not going to show something like that my mom sais that if the test showing nothing im not going to see anyone else..im so misserable and dont no what else to do..my family thinks im makeing this up...i cant stand the jerking anymore..can someone tell me what this could be??

I wish I could tell you what's causing you to suffer like this, but I can't. We do have a couple folks here who can probably give you a place to start - give it a little time; they'll be around. I just wanted to welcome you to our little...but growing fast...family and tell you to try not to worry too much. You will be in my prayers. I do not like to hear of ones so young going through so much - can you tell I'm a mom? lol

Honey, you just hang in there.  I know that Quix or someone will be able to help you before to long.  I'm sorry that I don't have any answers but I know what it's like to have something wrong and nobody believe you.  You keep pushing for answers.  Also, I would think a MRI would be more in order than a cat scan.  Maybe you could have your mom to discuss that with the neuro.  I hope everything works out for you and you keep us posted.

I'll be praying,
Carol

Hi there and welcome to the forum!!  You have come to the right place.  Have you had a cold or sore throat anytime recently?  Do you now or have you had a fever at all? Did they do any blood tests in the ER?  Did the  doctor order an MRI or a Cat scan?  

We have a resident den mother who is also a pediatrician but she is a bit under the weather right now.    IN the meantime try to stay calm and know we are here for you to help you through this scarey time.  

I have symptoms that are very similar and have had them for 4 months now.  I remember when they first started I felt just like you did - kind of freaked out and feeling like I was dying.  I realized though that there are alot of things that can cause sympotoms like this and the doctors alot of times have to do a wait and see attitude because the less serious things get ruled out as time goes by.  Does that make sense?  Read some of the previous posts and do some research on your symptoms but try not to let your symptoms take over your life - I know it's hard, especially when you are that tired.

I will be praying for you and looking forward to hearing more!
