Atypical PFS? "The Hero's Journey"

[Cdsnuts]

Hey guys, just wanted to check in. I'm still waiting on my blood test results and haven't been able to do the semen analysis yet - it's scheduled for June.

In the last week or so I had some new symptoms emerge, which is a bit distressing, especially after so much time. In particular, I have pins and needles (paresthesia) in my legs and arms and even in my face at times (not too bad during the day but worse at night and can interrupt sleep a bit). When these symptoms emerged I also started getting dull aches in my head (not quite like a normal headache) that show up in different part of my head (mostly the back and sides). Since most of my original symptoms, seem to be related to nerve damage in the pelvic area, I'm wondering if these new symptoms are related (or if the damage is "spreading" per se).

In terms of the protocol, I am not on it completely because I am temporarily living with my parents (due to COVID, not PFS) and don't want to put all of this on them right now and because I am still waiting on some test results. I'll be moving out on my own in a month and that's when I will be able to fully dive into it.

I have a doctor's appointment next week to do some neurological testing. I guess I am just wondering if anyone else ever experienced these more recent symptoms at all throughout their journeys (i.e., the pins and needles and the headaches) given the atypicality of my case so far..

I hate to break it to you, but the doctors are just going to end up confusing you more. I guess it's good for your own mental health, but ultimately, they won't be able to do much for you.

Thanks for the quick response, CD. Yeah, I don't have high hopes given my previous interactions with various doctors throughout this whole ordeal (as I'm sure most people on here can relate to). Nonetheless, I'll give it a go and report back. You're absoluetly right - it's more so just about peace of mind and (hopefully) ruling out other neurological disorders..

Well if that gives you peace of mind you need to move forward, then by all means. I'm glad you realize this. It'll make doing the right thing that much easier.
