I had something very similar to this, but I didn't have to go through nearly that many hurdles before one doctor was like, "when was the last time you drank water?" and then I learned that drinking water is a really good way of keeping your appendages from vibrating
Similar situation happens to me. My limbs get all vibrate-y after i drink black or green tea. Turns out, im hyper sensitive to caffeine and i fear what a coffee or energy drink would do to me.
I had similar but for me it was ✨anxiety✨ my heart rate was really bad apparently so they did some tests and wee like, maybe you should calm down? Had to go home and listen to my calming rain sounds playlist and then I felt fine
i have a REALLY similar story! I was in the hospital for a week with morphine shots twice/day to ease the constant CHRONIC pain that no doctor could figure out. They eventually just sent me home because they had no idea what was wrong. Then one day it just stopped??
I was listening to his story and apparently this is a pretty bad issue going on right now. I was having some pretty rough gut pain and for a few weeks I couldn't really eat anything without throwing up. I went to 4 separate doctors, all of which said different and ultimately WRONG things until I got so weak, so bedridden, and threw up so often that my family took me to the emergency room. Turns out I have Ulcerative Colitis and if I hadn't gone to the doctor when I did it was very likely my intestines could have ruptured. Yayyyyyyyyyy.....
Probably a weird nerve thing then. It's harder to see nerves and junk, and they just do weird stupid stuff sometimes. Once I bent down to pick up my kid and I got what felt like a lightning bolt in my lower back. I was literally incapacitated for a week. And I'm 23! Lol bodies just be weird
@@NeoNovastar these fools put me in the MRI to check for a Chiari Malformation, but they did it lying down 💀 you have to be standing up to check for one oh my god. I was pissed. But I don’t even know how far the nearest standing MRI is in my country. So it could cost thousands to fly there or a wait time of like three years.
@MrBeest is ruining the planet[recent vid explains] bot + twitter user + hypocrite + not on topic + cringe + go farm somewhere else + check your spelling + you're everything but cool
i had the same with a chronic phantom sciatica for 4 years in college. i went to doctors, neurologists, chiropractors, massage therapists, i got acupuncture, EVEN WENT TO A PSYCHIC and nothing helped everyone said “idk man” one day woke up and it was just gone and has never come back 😐
Uncontrollable movement in your arms and legs? I ain't no expert, but that sounds like alittle of anxiety effect. A minor one if it lasted a week. Best suggestion for that... 4 words, "Try to RELAX more"
This sounds like the experience of most chronically ill people I've known (including myself) except the symptoms don't go away and we are left to suffer for years. Your frustrations with insurance companies are spot-on and this video was painfully relatable for me in many ways. Trying to get proper treatment is such a struggle.
Yup.😕 The only plus for me is medical care where I live is mostly free and doesn’t have as many hoops to jump through. It’s been over a decade for me. I’m well enough now to be functional at the most basic level so that’s a plus I guess. I think the worst part is never knowing. It’s always like “we think it’s this” and they do some tests and then “nope it’s not that.” At this point they’re just treating symptoms and I’ve kind of given up hope on finding a diagnosis and treatment for said diagnosis.
Literally. I was misdiagnosed with ibs since I was 11, and then only when I finally went to a gastro doctor at 22 for a separate problem (acid reflux) did they finally go, "huh, your symptoms don't line up with it." Did some tests, inflammation, which definitely doesn't happen with ibs. Then they did a colonoscopy and I was finally diagnosed with ulcerative colitis! Sadly the prep for the colonoscopy, plus the colonoscopy itself, in combo with how fragile my system must have been, caused a HUGE flare up that landed me in the hospital.. so that's fun. But at least it put me on the road to treatment. Although, when the hospital sent me home they told me "just take tylenol" for the pain, even though I was given dilaudid (a pain reliever stronger than morphine) in the hospital until then. I'm still bitter about that xP But of course the opioid crisis made it hard to give it to me even though I've never taken it before, never had a history of addiction, and actually needed it. And calling my PCP they told me they "don't do that" when I asked about prescribing any sort of pain meds. Literally didn't care what, just wanted something stronger than tylenol. ugh Sorry, ranted. This subject just gets me going. Healthcare system is so fucked.
4:14 The animation here feels so delightfully weird, it's too smooth after the jitteriness of the previous two bits, and the stillness of the head, I love it
Oh I was well for two freakin' years until I got covid, got 106F fever for TWO DAYS what the hell I wanted to die. I tested positive for 20 freaking days, had a constant headache, couldn't taste or smell, not that I wanted to eat anything. I think I lost 8 pounds, and I don't have much weight to lose in the first place lol Ok rant over lol
I’ve had something a little similar happen, at least in terms of doctors watching me suffer and not really knowing how to help. It was the first day of 2022, and I woke up at 4 am violently throwing up, fell asleep, 6 am again, 8 am, and every so often throughout the day for a week straight. I couldn’t eat anything without throwing up, and I basically lived on Gatorade. The doctors squished my stomach but didn’t find anything weird, I didn’t have a fever, and I just didn’t have any other symptoms so they were just like “🤷♀️”
Man you got really lucky ngl. My gf had the same symptoms but they quickly got worse. It was something called GB syndrome, in which your immune system attacks your nerves and paralyse you. Hopefully, we got to know it in time and she was able to safely come out of it and make a full recovery!
I watched this video INTENSLY once your symptoms started matching up with mine. Then all the doctor visits matched to a T. Your MRI came back the same as mine (I also remarked to my doctor how I thought my brain was a little more than "unremarkable") and I got a little excited. I thought you were finally going to reveal a why I had the tingling (and how you found out) that I also spent thousands of dollars on doctors, tests, and physical therapy. NOPE, you never found out, I never did either, and you probably sometimes wonder if it'll ever come back and you have to start the process again. I like your videos tho, you're rad. Edit: It's June now, about 5 months since I originally saw this video, and about 4 months since I had onset of tachycardia and upper extremity paresthesia, along with the return of the symptoms I originally commented about. After more thousands of dollars for cardiologists, nerve conduction studies, ect... again no idea. I did go to a sports doc who recommended me trying physical therapy again, and it turns out I have thoracic outlet syndrome affecting my left arm. So when I get into certain positions the blood flow is completely cut off to my left arm. This test was super easy, physical therapist took my left wrist pulse, had me look to the right, pulse stopped. So all in all, my fight continues, but I have at least one answer for some of the numbness and tingling. Thanks to everyone else for their support and suggestions.
Same for me but I have the symptoms in the legs. It would occur every few months and after a week of tingling it'd become this severe piercing/burning pain for 10 minutes before going away entirely for another few months. It lasted longer one time and had a numb foot for a couple weeks after which helped raising this issue at the doctors as they could finally see that something is wrong and not just a sensation. Waited months for MRI on legs and spine and EMG on legs to find it all clear. They said to just exercise more and get up more during work which is sedentary. Started working from the office, walking to work and getting up at least once every 2 hours; no more symptoms. But they did put down Common Peroneal Neuropathy in my medical files i.e. nerve damage in knee area, even if nothing showed up on MRI. Also a bonus: I too have ADHD. For all the wonder of modern medicine; take care of yourself with good food, good hygiene, and stretching.
@@nayther567 stretching JFC I hate that as you get older it’s more important to eat well and walk a certain distance. Stretching is especially important every single day
Am going through the same thing. Only mine is GI issues however I developed tingling in my limbs. They wanted me to do the exact same thing. I didn’t go as I was already in debt. Only to find out after getting very ill and thirsty realizing I’m probably diabetic which is something I’ve told and explained to doctors as it’s common in my family on both sides. Then rushing to my pcp and they took a blood test because I insisted I was diabetic. My mother is a diabetic and after extreme thirst that nothing was helping,ice cubes didn’t give me goosebumps,or were sensitive on my teeth I knew it was something up. My mom checked since she’s a diabetic and yup high numbers. So the doctors took more blood from me and I’m now a pre diabetic. My entire life has changed and it’s only been a few days.
As someone that works in a hospital I can tell you right now that it's like crossing the entire Pacific Ocean to get preauthorization numbers from insurance companies, and the facility that ordered it, for MRIs and CT scans. I stg we go through like 20 different people just for them to tell us a quick little 8 digit (tbh idk how long it is. they vary haha..) "code." Besides that, I hope you're doing well and get better soon! Your videos make my year! I love them! ❤

I work in a pharmacy, so I have no idea why it takes at least a week every time we need a prior auth, though I always assumed it would be insurance's fault
Thing is, insurance companies are the ones paying out, so they’re really sensitive about people possibly taking advantage of them. When it’s your money, you’re more careful. They have to make sure your doctor is legitimate, your pain is legitimate, everything has to be proven real before they give you a penny. Double all the red tape if your insurance is through Uncle Sam, because they don’t want to pay for you, they just want you paying into their system. Double all the red tape after that if you’re wanting drugs, because that’s super-abused and some people will absolutely take a prescription to multiple places and get it filled multiple times if they can.
I can't stress enough how in love with your art style I am. It's so simple and charismatic. All the faces are so expressive and -terryfyin- adorable. I could stare at this little funky man for hours. Anyway, thanks for a great video as always, hope you will feel better soon)
It’s sucks to be sick. Ever since I got to college I have been constantly sick. I hate everything right now. But I hope you get to that sunny pasture of feeling great.
Though sick all the time, your body is probably developing some type of immunity if you are in a new climate. Take this with a pinch of salt as it may not be true.
@@A13xUrb4n I had terrible migraines while I was in high school, sometimes so bad I couldn't keep food down. Glad I graduated, but the current school system in the USA sucks.

I used to have panic attacks that were so bad I would go blind temporarily, which until it happened to me I always thought was a myth. Also just general anxiety got so severe that sometimes I would just black out, collapse, and have what I call a pseudo-seizure because it wasn't true epileptic activity in my brain but was basically identical to one in symptoms. Stress and anxiety are no joke, they can absolutely mess you up if they get out of control.
I had up until a few weeks ago, horrible heart palpitations and tremors in my chest. I went to a cardiologist and they said “You’re fine” and I just got better after that. Maybe I was anxious something was wrong with me. But it was awful.
It's probably just selective attention bias but I feel like there's been quite a bit of sickness recently. I think I'm getting over something minor, there's this video, and one of the other UA-camrs I watch was sick in his most recent video.
I've had a bad cough since early-mid September. The first month and a half made sense because I was breathing in wildfire smoke, but I'm not sure what it is/was from early November onwards.
I am glad you were not found to have something seriously wrong. We love you, Little Icecreamsandwich. Great video, as always. Thanks for the happiness you spread.
Jesus Christ is the propitiation for the whole world's sins. They that believeth and are baptized (with the Holy Spirit) shall be saved; but they that believeth not shall be damned. Those led by the Holy Spirit do not abide in wickedness. 👍🏾 *God is ONE manifesting himself as THREE;* the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit! Bless him! *For these three are one.* As I am led by the Holy Spirit, nothing I state is a lie, but the truth of God. Anyone who tells you differently is misinformed or a liar. They do not know God, nor led by him. Anyone who *claims* to be a Christian and is against what I am doing, and where I am doing it; the Holy Spirit does not dwell within them, they lack understanding. They know not God, read his word, and their religion is in vain. Do not hear them, they will mislead you, the lost cannot guide the lost.
When you trust in God and cast your cares (worries, anxiety, depression, suicidal thoughts) upon him, they will be NO MORE! Know that there is power in the name Jesus Christ! His name casts out demons and heals! The world is wicked, evil, and of the devil. I too, was a wicked sinner of the world before I opened my heart to God. I am living proof of God's work and fruitfulness! He is an active God who hears the prayers of his! God's children are set apart (holy) and righteous. The devil is a liar that comes to steal, to kill, and to destroy; that includes your relationship with God. Open your heart to God, repent of your sins (he will forgive you), and let him direct your path. Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands and purify your heart, lest you walk with the devil and follow him to hell.
i had appendicitis, THE DAY AFTER I WATCH THAT HOSPITAL VIDEO, but if i didn’t watch it, i would’ve known about it, so you basically saved my life, thank you ics💚
This will definitely get buried but this has been one of the most difficult years of my life. Ive lost 4 people this year, 2 to suicide and 2 to health issues and my mental health has been the worst its ever been and watching your videos has been helping me so so so so much it makes everyday just a bit more bearable and i am just so thankful. So incredibly thankful. I hope you recovered well from being sick :c
*pat pat* hold on, pain ends. You'll get through this buddy. And you'll be a better person for it, too. Maybe in the future, you'll be able to help someone who's going through similar circumstances, because of what you've been through.
When I was eighteen I got super sick and nobody could really figure out what it was. I had to get a colonoscopy and an MRI (those suck so much. I'm glad you got through it), and I just barely got over a cold, so I feel this video so much. Hope you (and all who are also under the weather) feel better!!
kinda freaked out by the fact that the exact same thing happened to me a few months ago (minus the living hell that is american health insurance) weird tingling in arm, doctor doesn't know why, neurologist doesn't know why, brain and spine MRI come back normal, and then it got better for a while
I had the pins and needles in my arms and legs in March, 3 nights in the hospital, multiple MRIs, the only thing they found wrong with me is low vitamin B12 and D. So shots of those seemed to help, for a while anyway. What the heck?! Interesting it’s happening to other people.
I literally had a cold when this came out and I feel like this video was made for me. Edit: Turns out there are a lot of people who were coincidentally sick when this video came out, so here's some tea and biscuits! ☕🍪
Being sick is like a dangerous game of "Can I avoid paying anything to avoid death by toughing this out and taking over the counter meds, or should I put myself in thousands of dollars of debt to ultimately discover it's nothing?" If we had universal healthcare, this decision of "Do I let myself potentially die because I'm poor,?" can end.
I'm sick too, every day I've been coughing my brains out, a few days ago I actually woke up at 2:am just coughing and coughing and I was awake the entire day
I just started recovering from being sick for the past couple days, I feel like this video released when literally the entire comments section was also sick
The intense feeling of 'oh shit you do that too?!' when you explained your stimming/fidgeting was mind melting. Anytime I tell someone I rub my feet like a cricket in bed they look at me like I am a madwoman! I chatted with both a therapist and a doctor about it and it seems its just a way to let out excess energy or anxiety in a less interruptive way - think leg bouncing or such. A lot of people I have talked to who have either ADHD or ASD have similar fidgety movements that help them.
The tingly feeling might be restless legs? It gets diagnosed by ruling out every other possible condition that could cause the tingling. It has something to do with dopamine and is very common in people with adhd. The symptoms can especially bad when it's really warm.
the whole hospital experience and the emotions even down to the results - i felt the EXACT same way because I i also had to get MRIs and a bunch of shit done (and spent 12 days in hospital) and did they find out what was wrong with me? NO. so i left without answers but a whole bunch of health related anxiety that will follow me for the years to come :D
Keep an eye on these symptoms and listen to your body. It took me 4 years to get diagnosed with MS. (Multiple sclerosis) numbness and tingling for weeks is NEVER normal. Idk why doctors shrug it off every time.
It's the time of year, when the weather warms up or cools down , especially during spring and fall, your immune system is compromised due to temperature irregularities.
Thats why its called seasonal flu, its the moment where the body is adapting to seasonal changes, that lowers our inmune response and flu starts spreading, so be sure that the youngers and the oldests take their vax against seasonal flu (yeah, we gotta vaccinate 1-2 times a year because this virus mutates too much and vaccines have to be readapted)
This cannot be any better timing. I don’t know what’s going on, but there has been a cold front coming in and everyone is getting sick. Literally half my class has been absent. Lots of love from Texas! ❤ Edit: I got sick. It’s sucks and I had to go the doctor to get a prescription. Tested negative for COVID and flu.
I worked at a CVS Caremark before and I have to tell you, a lot of employees hate having to go through the prior authorization process as well. Especially when it’s denied initially because you then have to go through the appeals process, and that can take a bit longer than a week.
@@moeburn While true, some docs genuinely put the effort in to try and find a cause. Sadly all my tests came back as unremarkable as well (and it was a lot more that just neurology). Worst part is that I look 'fine' so a lot of random people will treat me poorly if I have to take things easy.
The fact that this experience is so common in American health care is genuinely terrifying like why are you a doctor if you can't diagnose people, and why are you an insurance company if you aren't going to cover health issues
@@LordofGold You hit it on the head. It's a buisness and insurance is your buisness that lets you talk to the buisness, and if you need a specialist you have to ask the doctor buisness to refer you to another doctor buisness and if they say "no" or insurance says "no". GG, you can't get in.
i get how it feels ): those days thinking "really took [basic bodily function] for granted," and getting a little emotional about it along the way; stay safe and take care whether or not you're still ill andy and all others, sometimes only u know ur body best
I'm also an artist and I too experienced tingling sensations in my arms at one point in my career. It might not be yours but in my case it was because since I would draw so much, my posture would suffer from it, especially my cervical, which connects a lot of nerves through your arms. The cervical stress was therefore stressing and pinching my arm nerves! I actually got rid of it through a chiropractor and exercising pilates!
I like to think I’m an artist but I don’t actually a r t that often. I have had weird tingles in my arms and legs at separate times. I have really great posture (I specifically strive for it and have been complimented about it), so I don’t think it’s that. Idk
Anytime I got sick, I just asked my mom what to do. I can’t count how many times She saved me from the mercy of the American healthcare system. I remember getting sick in college and they told me I might have to get a body scan to figure out what was wrong. I asked my mom about it and she found me a simple over-the-counter pill I could find at the nearest pharmacy. I was about to spend a good 50 to 100 bucks if she wasn’t there.
Bro I just got sick these past 4 days. I used to love being sick, it used to be so chill, now I still gotta do work even if I'm sick. Also I respect you a bunch for recording/animating this video while being sick!
I’ve been feeling a tingling sensation in my arms and hands lately like you did. Seemed to be a weird reaction to some meds while being anemic. Hope you feel better soon!
Same here. Started last week. Have not slept more than 6 hours since last Wed and already lost 10lbs. aches, pains, cramps, high fever etc.. and I refuse to go to the hospital because several years ago when I felt similar to this (like the worst hangover you ever had but I have not been drinking anything) I went to the hospital and they ran the brain scan thing to which I waited a half a day for and then came out and said we dunno whats wrong with you so were sending you home. That will be 2500.00 something dollars, if it's gets worse. Come back in and we'll check more. Total BS. I think the government keeps releasing new variations of covid to weed out the weak people.
Doctors are amazing man. The human body (and living things in general) are so chronically noncompliant with the methods we use to try to diagnose and treat problems. We do countless studies that involve multiple disciplines running countless tests to figure out why something is happening and how we can treat it, and then some random person's body can just go "Not feeling like it today" and just not respond to a treatment that works for the vast majority of people.
I've had an experience with similar symptoms but I DID find out what it was! If you feel tingling in your arms and legs and are experiencing lightheadedness you might have a vitamin deficiency. At least I did. B12 and Vitamin D if I remember correctly. And it only took an EKG, another heart monitoring test and a visit to the neurologist before someone suggested a blood test 🙃
Trying out eating more vitamin-rich foods is way freaking cheaper than a million tests, and is a good thing to do, symptoms or not. But yeah, no one should have to pay thousands of dollars to get medical attention for mysterious symptoms.
I have weird head pressure and very occasional pulsatile tinnitus when I stand up. Some docs are like "it's your posture" and others are like "could be your brain", but do you think I'm any closer to getting imaging or tests for something that's only occasional yet absolutely terrifying after hearing "could be your brain"? Am I heck.
Doctors are a lot more incompetent than they let on. They're basically charging you for the same advice your dog would give you, except your dog cares and they openly don't.
Your posture could cause pressure to build up until your brain hurts? Tinnitus is weird, there are people who have a CONSTANT beeping in their head. 😬 You could read into the reason for tinnitus, iirc it‘s a feedback loop of the nerves which your brain translates to beeping. It could be an error in your brain‘s processing, it could be nerve damage, it could be stress (so, psychosomatic). And the pressure… posture, lack of nutrients/electrolytes, dehydration (the brain is 90 % water…), stress headache, too much caffeine… too many options. I hope this helps a little bit. I think your doctors aren‘t wrong, they‘d just need to build on each others‘ findings for the greater picture, instead of isolated to their own specialization. Which is a problem in all of medicine, unfortunately. Most times it might be enough, but sometimes it isn‘t.
When you stand up, your blood pressure drops, so your heart reacts by pumping harder to compensate for a moment, which will cause your head to feel the rise in blood pressure and its consequences. This reaction is normal but the pressure and discomfort or tinnitus are not normal. It sounds like a cardiovascular problem to me, maybe minor or stable, but who knows, good luck.
2:56 I know it's part of the joke, but for the people wondering. You usually don't start with the scans because doing so will be already starting with expensive procedure and it can be unnecessary when you can diagnose the sickness by watching closely the symptoms first. This is an oversimplified example, but yeah c:
Went through a very similar thing just to be told it’s psychosomatic and have not much help in trying to deal with it so props to you for getting through
I had a brain scan myself a few years back, I am now diagnosed with adhd but not because of the stupid scan, back then the doctors just said „nah Idk u fine“. Pls let yourself get tested, you really sound like that would fit for u :)
Just getting better from like 4 days of being unable to talk, coughing so hard my chest is still sore and I tasted blood from when I woke up today to now pretty consistently because my throat is so torn up from coughing so hard and often, and considering I work tech support from home it really sucks. Hopefully you feel better, and everyone gets the damn flu shot this year, so we can not have severe illness
I’m basically going through this same set of steps ( except I gots the vertigo and really bad migraines that came out of no where ), and I’ve been having a lot of doctors tell me “Oh that’s just allergies.” Well…the allergies require a trip to the neurologist. I’m sorry you’re sick icecream man, but I hope you get lots of rest and soup, and you feel better soon ❤
hey friend! I had the same symptoms earlier this year where I had debilitating migraines and vertigo out of nowhere, so i got alot of scans done and it turned out to be something called RCVS (Reversible Cerebral Vasoconstriction Syndrome) I'd definitely look into that just in case
yeah I have that too. If you also feel dizzy or light headed when you stand up you might have something called POTS it took me years to get diagnosed because although it's not rare if you aren't fainting constantly most doctors won't think of it.
oh dude bad migranes are the worst, i still have them from time to time after 2 years and no one can help me with that, im not sure writing your headaches in the diary is very helpful when it happens like once a month
As someone who’s known they had (often extremely debilitating) chronic daily migraines for over half a decade, I hard relate to this because I just last week got some meds that seem to actually work. I’ve gotten migraines were it literally seems like I’m having a stroke because I can only speak gibberish and sometimes parts of my body will go numb and I won’t be able to move them. The vertigo is a common migraine aura for me too. Light and sound often trigger my migraines or make them worse so I actually ware prescription sunglasses inside all the time now and have earplugs in my wallet 24/7 just in case.
Bro I feel you. I've been infected with staph for like 5 years and we had no idea. My physician and family thought it was psoriasis or something. This last year I started breaking out into a ton of lesions and so we went to a dermatologist. The Dermatologist took a culture off my leg, and told me a week later it was a bacterial infection. So then I was put on different anti-biotics over the next two months. My condition continued to get worse even though the Dermatologist gave me the strongest anti-biotics they could prescribe. they sent me to a specialist for infectious diseases. The specialist told me I can't work because it would make my infection even worse. I've become pretty weak thanks to how stagnant I've been and the anti-biotics wearing me down. He said he has no idea how long it will take to get this out of my system since I've had it for so long. It honestly is really scary not knowing if you'll beat an illness or not. I'm lucky my family is supporting me during this time, or else I'd be homeless and helpless by now.
This may be months late, but oftentimes GBS is a condition that can cause tingling in the arms, legs, and upper body. It can go away on its own, though some cases can become extreme and result in paralysis. Just a note from a bio student (:

i have a REALLY similar story! I was in the hospital for a week with morphine shots twice/day to ease the constant CHRONIC pain that no doctor could figure out. They eventually just sent me home because they had no idea what was wrong. Then one day it just stopped??
I'm so sorry man 😔😔
I was listening to his story and apparently this is a pretty bad issue going on right now. I was having some pretty rough gut pain and for a few weeks I couldn't really eat anything without throwing up. I went to 4 separate doctors, all of which said different and ultimately WRONG things until I got so weak, so bedridden, and threw up so often that my family took me to the emergency room. Turns out I have Ulcerative Colitis and if I hadn't gone to the doctor when I did it was very likely my intestines could have ruptured. Yayyyyyyyyyy.....

Probably a weird nerve thing then. It's harder to see nerves and junk, and they just do weird stupid stuff sometimes. Once I bent down to pick up my kid and I got what felt like a lightning bolt in my lower back. I was literally incapacitated for a week. And I'm 23! Lol bodies just be weird

This sounds like the experience of most chronically ill people I've known (including myself) except the symptoms don't go away and we are left to suffer for years. Your frustrations with insurance companies are spot-on and this video was painfully relatable for me in many ways. Trying to get proper treatment is such a struggle.
YESSSSS I NEEDED BOTOX IN MY NECK OF MY TOURETTES TO PREVENT SPINAL DAMAGE AND MY INSURANCE WAS LIKE “nah she’ll be fine”.
Yup.😕 The only plus for me is medical care where I live is mostly free and doesn’t have as many hoops to jump through. It’s been over a decade for me. I’m well enough now to be functional at the most basic level so that’s a plus I guess. I think the worst part is never knowing. It’s always like “we think it’s this” and they do some tests and then “nope it’s not that.” At this point they’re just treating symptoms and I’ve kind of given up hope on finding a diagnosis and treatment for said diagnosis.
Much agreeith😭😭😭😵😭😭
Literally. I was misdiagnosed with ibs since I was 11, and then only when I finally went to a gastro doctor at 22 for a separate problem (acid reflux) did they finally go, "huh, your symptoms don't line up with it." Did some tests, inflammation, which definitely doesn't happen with ibs. Then they did a colonoscopy and I was finally diagnosed with ulcerative colitis! Sadly the prep for the colonoscopy, plus the colonoscopy itself, in combo with how fragile my system must have been, caused a HUGE flare up that landed me in the hospital.. so that's fun. But at least it put me on the road to treatment. Although, when the hospital sent me home they told me "just take tylenol" for the pain, even though I was given dilaudid (a pain reliever stronger than morphine) in the hospital until then. I'm still bitter about that xP But of course the opioid crisis made it hard to give it to me even though I've never taken it before, never had a history of addiction, and actually needed it. And calling my PCP they told me they "don't do that" when I asked about prescribing any sort of pain meds. Literally didn't care what, just wanted something stronger than tylenol. ugh
Sorry, ranted. This subject just gets me going. Healthcare system is so fucked.
There is a special place in hell for insurance companies and their representatives.

@@WIZARDOFTX5 no it wasn’t
I’ve had something a little similar happen, at least in terms of doctors watching me suffer and not really knowing how to help. It was the first day of 2022, and I woke up at 4 am violently throwing up, fell asleep, 6 am again, 8 am, and every so often throughout the day for a week straight. I couldn’t eat anything without throwing up, and I basically lived on Gatorade. The doctors squished my stomach but didn’t find anything weird, I didn’t have a fever, and I just didn’t have any other symptoms so they were just like “🤷♀️”
Man you got really lucky ngl. My gf had the same symptoms but they quickly got worse. It was something called GB syndrome, in which your immune system attacks your nerves and paralyse you. Hopefully, we got to know it in time and she was able to safely come out of it and make a full recovery!

Yeah me too
Wait, read the description. Here's feeling a bit better, it says
He recovered and I guess he made this video afterwards
I watched this video INTENSLY once your symptoms started matching up with mine. Then all the doctor visits matched to a T. Your MRI came back the same as mine (I also remarked to my doctor how I thought my brain was a little more than "unremarkable") and I got a little excited. I thought you were finally going to reveal a why I had the tingling (and how you found out) that I also spent thousands of dollars on doctors, tests, and physical therapy. NOPE, you never found out, I never did either, and you probably sometimes wonder if it'll ever come back and you have to start the process again. I like your videos tho, you're rad.
Edit: It's June now, about 5 months since I originally saw this video, and about 4 months since I had onset of tachycardia and upper extremity paresthesia, along with the return of the symptoms I originally commented about. After more thousands of dollars for cardiologists, nerve conduction studies, ect... again no idea. I did go to a sports doc who recommended me trying physical therapy again, and it turns out I have thoracic outlet syndrome affecting my left arm. So when I get into certain positions the blood flow is completely cut off to my left arm. This test was super easy, physical therapist took my left wrist pulse, had me look to the right, pulse stopped.
So all in all, my fight continues, but I have at least one answer for some of the numbness and tingling. Thanks to everyone else for their support and suggestions.
Same for me but I have the symptoms in the legs. It would occur every few months and after a week of tingling it'd become this severe piercing/burning pain for 10 minutes before going away entirely for another few months. It lasted longer one time and had a numb foot for a couple weeks after which helped raising this issue at the doctors as they could finally see that something is wrong and not just a sensation. Waited months for MRI on legs and spine and EMG on legs to find it all clear. They said to just exercise more and get up more during work which is sedentary. Started working from the office, walking to work and getting up at least once every 2 hours; no more symptoms. But they did put down Common Peroneal Neuropathy in my medical files i.e. nerve damage in knee area, even if nothing showed up on MRI. Also a bonus: I too have ADHD.
For all the wonder of modern medicine; take care of yourself with good food, good hygiene, and stretching.
@@nayther567 stretching JFC I hate that as you get older it’s more important to eat well and walk a certain distance. Stretching is especially important every single day
@@wiggilytaco7570 My bad back agrees. 👍
It's like pins and needles
Am going through the same thing. Only mine is GI issues however I developed tingling in my limbs. They wanted me to do the exact same thing. I didn’t go as I was already in debt. Only to find out after getting very ill and thirsty realizing I’m probably diabetic which is something I’ve told and explained to doctors as it’s common in my family on both sides. Then rushing to my pcp and they took a blood test because I insisted I was diabetic. My mother is a diabetic and after extreme thirst that nothing was helping,ice cubes didn’t give me goosebumps,or were sensitive on my teeth I knew it was something up. My mom checked since she’s a diabetic and yup high numbers. So the doctors took more blood from me and I’m now a pre diabetic. My entire life has changed and it’s only been a few days.

As someone that works in a hospital I can tell you right now that it's like crossing the entire Pacific Ocean to get preauthorization numbers from insurance companies, and the facility that ordered it, for MRIs and CT scans.

Besides that, I hope you're doing well and get better soon! Your videos make my year! I love them! ❤

Thing is, insurance companies are the ones paying out, so they’re really sensitive about people possibly taking advantage of them. When it’s your money, you’re more careful. They have to make sure your doctor is legitimate, your pain is legitimate, everything has to be proven real before they give you a penny. Double all the red tape if your insurance is through Uncle Sam, because they don’t want to pay for you, they just want you paying into their system. Double all the red tape after that if you’re wanting drugs, because that’s super-abused and some people will absolutely take a prescription to multiple places and get it filled multiple times if they can.

I used to have panic attacks that were so bad I would go blind temporarily, which until it happened to me I always thought was a myth. Also just general anxiety got so severe that sometimes I would just black out, collapse, and have what I call a pseudo-seizure because it wasn't true epileptic activity in my brain but was basically identical to one in symptoms. Stress and anxiety are no joke, they can absolutely mess you up if they get out of control.
I had up until a few weeks ago, horrible heart palpitations and tremors in my chest. I went to a cardiologist and they said “You’re fine” and I just got better after that. Maybe I was anxious something was wrong with me. But it was awful.

Jesus Christ is the propitiation for the whole world's sins. They that believeth and are baptized (with the Holy Spirit) shall be saved; but they that believeth not shall be damned. Those led by the Holy Spirit do not abide in wickedness. 👍🏾
*God is ONE manifesting himself as THREE;* the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit! Bless him! *For these three are one.*
As I am led by the Holy Spirit, nothing I state is a lie, but the truth of God. Anyone who tells you differently is misinformed or a liar. They do not know God, nor led by him.
Anyone who *claims* to be a Christian and is against what I am doing, and where I am doing it; the Holy Spirit does not dwell within them, they lack understanding. They know not God, read his word, and their religion is in vain. Do not hear them, they will mislead you, the lost cannot guide the lost.
When you trust in God and cast your cares (worries, anxiety, depression, suicidal thoughts) upon him, they will be NO MORE!
Know that there is power in the name Jesus Christ! His name casts out demons and heals!
The world is wicked, evil, and of the devil.
I too, was a wicked sinner of the world before I opened my heart to God. I am living proof of God's work and fruitfulness! He is an active God who hears the prayers of his! God's children are set apart (holy) and righteous. The devil is a liar that comes to steal, to kill, and to destroy; that includes your relationship with God.
Open your heart to God, repent of your sins (he will forgive you), and let him direct your path. Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands and purify your heart, lest you walk with the devil and follow him to hell.

weird tingling in arm, doctor doesn't know why, neurologist doesn't know why, brain and spine MRI come back normal, and then it got better for a while
Also relate, wooo. Started last October. It kinda improved? Weird.
I had the pins and needles in my arms and legs in March, 3 nights in the hospital, multiple MRIs, the only thing they found wrong with me is low vitamin B12 and D. So shots of those seemed to help, for a while anyway. What the heck?! Interesting it’s happening to other people.

Being sick is like a dangerous game of "Can I avoid paying anything to avoid death by toughing this out and taking over the counter meds, or should I put myself in thousands of dollars of debt to ultimately discover it's nothing?" If we had universal healthcare, this decision of "Do I let myself potentially die because I'm poor,?" can end.

3:03 pov: the adhd
The intense feeling of 'oh shit you do that too?!' when you explained your stimming/fidgeting was mind melting. Anytime I tell someone I rub my feet like a cricket in bed they look at me like I am a madwoman! I chatted with both a therapist and a doctor about it and it seems its just a way to let out excess energy or anxiety in a less interruptive way - think leg bouncing or such. A lot of people I have talked to who have either ADHD or ASD have similar fidgety movements that help them.
The tingly feeling might be restless legs? It gets diagnosed by ruling out every other possible condition that could cause the tingling. It has something to do with dopamine and is very common in people with adhd. The symptoms can especially bad when it's really warm.
Yeah I’m sick right now too. It absolutely sucks. To anyone sick right now, hoping you get better very very soon!
the whole hospital experience and the emotions even down to the results - i felt the EXACT same way because I i also had to get MRIs and a bunch of shit done (and spent 12 days in hospital) and did they find out what was wrong with me?

I'm also an artist and I too experienced tingling sensations in my arms at one point in my career.
It might not be yours but in my case it was because since I would draw so much, my posture would suffer from it, especially my cervical, which connects a lot of nerves through your arms. The cervical stress was therefore stressing and pinching my arm nerves!
I actually got rid of it through a chiropractor and exercising pilates!
This. I’ve experienced it in my legs before. It’s all about posture and shoes.
How come the Doctors never even thought of this 😂
Omg wtf haps!
I like to think I’m an artist but I don’t actually a r t that often. I have had weird tingles in my arms and legs at separate times. I have really great posture (I specifically strive for it and have been complimented about it), so I don’t think it’s that. Idk

I’ve been feeling a tingling sensation in my arms and hands lately like you did. Seemed to be a weird reaction to some meds while being anemic. Hope you feel better soon!
I am actually extremely sick right now, so I’m really miserable, and then the ice cream sandwich uploads this. You never fail to make me smile man
Me too lol
sick buddies
So sorry you’re going through this 😣 Praying that you feel better soon ❤️❤️
It sucks because I have a holiday with my family in a few days and I’m not getting better😔😭
Same I’ve been sick since Friday and it’s bad
Same here. Started last week. Have not slept more than 6 hours since last Wed and already lost 10lbs. aches, pains, cramps, high fever etc.. and I refuse to go to the hospital because several years ago when I felt similar to this (like the worst hangover you ever had but I have not been drinking anything) I went to the hospital and they ran the brain scan thing to which I waited a half a day for and then came out and said we dunno whats wrong with you so were sending you home. That will be 2500.00 something dollars, if it's gets worse. Come back in and we'll check more. Total BS. I think the government keeps releasing new variations of covid to weed out the weak people.
Doctors are amazing man. The human body (and living things in general) are so chronically noncompliant with the methods we use to try to diagnose and treat problems. We do countless studies that involve multiple disciplines running countless tests to figure out why something is happening and how we can treat it, and then some random person's body can just go "Not feeling like it today" and just not respond to a treatment that works for the vast majority of people.
I happened to get sick today as well so I'm glad to hear other people are suffering as I am
I feel like everybody is sick right now 😅 I hope you’re feeling better!
right?? same
@@1nfinite_X Same! 🥲
I've had an experience with similar symptoms but I DID find out what it was! If you feel tingling in your arms and legs and are experiencing lightheadedness you might have a vitamin deficiency. At least I did. B12 and Vitamin D if I remember correctly. And it only took an EKG, another heart monitoring test and a visit to the neurologist before someone suggested a blood test 🙃
Yeah!
I had the same! I started taking B (the whole complex because i don't know which one exactly i need) and D and it went away
Trying out eating more vitamin-rich foods is way freaking cheaper than a million tests, and is a good thing to do, symptoms or not. But yeah, no one should have to pay thousands of dollars to get medical attention for mysterious symptoms.

Feeling sick has made me think about a lot of things like what it’s like to breathe
I honestly agree my boi, I agree
I have weird head pressure and very occasional pulsatile tinnitus when I stand up. Some docs are like "it's your posture" and others are like "could be your brain", but do you think I'm any closer to getting imaging or tests for something that's only occasional yet absolutely terrifying after hearing "could be your brain"?
Am I heck.
Doctors are a lot more incompetent than they let on. They're basically charging you for the same advice your dog would give you, except your dog cares and they openly don't.
I’m sure a chiropractor would be able to help with that, actually! I’d recommend seeing one if you don’t already
Your posture could cause pressure to build up until your brain hurts? Tinnitus is weird, there are people who have a CONSTANT beeping in their head. 😬
You could read into the reason for tinnitus, iirc it‘s a feedback loop of the nerves which your brain translates to beeping. It could be an error in your brain‘s processing, it could be nerve damage, it could be stress (so, psychosomatic).
And the pressure… posture, lack of nutrients/electrolytes, dehydration (the brain is 90 % water…), stress headache, too much caffeine… too many options.
I hope this helps a little bit. I think your doctors aren‘t wrong, they‘d just need to build on each others‘ findings for the greater picture, instead of isolated to their own specialization. Which is a problem in all of medicine, unfortunately. Most times it might be enough, but sometimes it isn‘t.
When you stand up, your blood pressure drops, so your heart reacts by pumping harder to compensate for a moment, which will cause your head to feel the rise in blood pressure and its consequences.
This reaction is normal but the pressure and discomfort or tinnitus are not normal.
It sounds like a cardiovascular problem to me, maybe minor or stable, but who knows, good luck.

I know it's part of the joke, but for the people wondering. You usually don't start with the scans because doing so will be already starting with expensive procedure and it can be unnecessary when you can diagnose the sickness by watching closely the symptoms first.
This is an oversimplified example, but yeah c:
Yeah that's what I thought.
Went through a very similar thing just to be told it’s psychosomatic and have not much help in trying to deal with it so props to you for getting through
4:10 lmaaaaooo
I sincerely hope this video gets thousand and thousand upon likes 💕
I love the way he says "PEASANT" 1:46
Wdym-
I had a brain scan myself a few years back, I am now diagnosed with adhd but not because of the stupid scan, back then the doctors just said „nah Idk u fine“. Pls let yourself get tested, you really sound like that would fit for u :)
Lo and behold he released a video about his ADHD a couple days back!
Moral of the story is “insurance companies are just Evil incarnate” 🥰
As a nurse and a chronic patient, I see both sides of insurance companies and it sucks for everyone
Watching this while getting sick from possibly COVID. I miss breathing.
Just getting better from like 4 days of being unable to talk, coughing so hard my chest is still sore and I tasted blood from when I woke up today to now pretty consistently because my throat is so torn up from coughing so hard and often, and considering I work tech support from home it really sucks. Hopefully you feel better, and everyone gets the damn flu shot this year, so we can not have severe illness
I’m basically going through this same set of steps ( except I gots the vertigo and really bad migraines that came out of no where ), and I’ve been having a lot of doctors tell me “Oh that’s just allergies.”
Well…the allergies require a trip to the neurologist.
I’m sorry you’re sick icecream man, but I hope you get lots of rest and soup, and you feel better soon ❤
Try taking B12 👍
hey friend! I had the same symptoms earlier this year where I had debilitating migraines and vertigo out of nowhere, so i got alot of scans done and it turned out to be something called RCVS (Reversible Cerebral Vasoconstriction Syndrome) I'd definitely look into that just in case
yeah I have that too. If you also feel dizzy or light headed when you stand up you might have something called POTS it took me years to get diagnosed because although it's not rare if you aren't fainting constantly most doctors won't think of it.
oh dude bad migranes are the worst, i still have them from time to time after 2 years and no one can help me with that, im not sure writing your headaches in the diary is very helpful when it happens like once a month
As someone who’s known they had (often extremely debilitating) chronic daily migraines for over half a decade, I hard relate to this because I just last week got some meds that seem to actually work. I’ve gotten migraines were it literally seems like I’m having a stroke because I can only speak gibberish and sometimes parts of my body will go numb and I won’t be able to move them. The vertigo is a common migraine aura for me too. Light and sound often trigger my migraines or make them worse so I actually ware prescription sunglasses inside all the time now and have earplugs in my wallet 24/7 just in case.
Bro I feel you. I've been infected with staph for like 5 years and we had no idea. My physician and family thought it was psoriasis or something. This last year I started breaking out into a ton of lesions and so we went to a dermatologist.
The Dermatologist took a culture off my leg, and told me a week later it was a bacterial infection. So then I was put on different anti-biotics over the next two months.
My condition continued to get worse even though the Dermatologist gave me the strongest anti-biotics they could prescribe. they sent me to a specialist for infectious diseases.
The specialist told me I can't work because it would make my infection even worse. I've become pretty weak thanks to how stagnant I've been and the anti-biotics wearing me down. He said he has no idea how long it will take to get this out of my system since I've had it for so long.
It honestly is really scary not knowing if you'll beat an illness or not. I'm lucky my family is supporting me during this time, or else I'd be homeless and helpless by now.
Damn, I hope everything goes alright in the long run. So glad you have people who are supporting you through this time~
holy shit 5 YEARS! I had staph as a kid for like a week and was hours away from dying if it wasn't treated. I can't imagine having it for 5 years
A blood test would have shown the staph no problem.
Hey, man. How are you doing now? Hope you beat it
hope you're alright dude
This may be months late, but oftentimes GBS is a condition that can cause tingling in the arms, legs, and upper body. It can go away on its own, though some cases can become extreme and result in paralysis. Just a note from a bio student (:
idk why but your voice is comforting to me
Ikr?
It's like soup and being tucked in, as a video.
This animation is absolutely sick man.
Quite literally
3:12 I don't know why, I haven't looked into why I'm so restless
The next video: I HAVE ADHD
Ah yes that makes sense
Loving how he describes stimming and finished with "I haven't looked into why that is" That's ADHD my man.
0:55 is hillarious
The guy doesn’t post much but his content really is something
1:10 I had the same symptoms the doctor told me to stop taking caffeine , and it worked!
0:30 you got to stay home?!
WHAT?!
YOU DIDN'T GO HOME?
@@Mechanized-for-all-time no 🥹 and yes my mom didn’t want me to miss school so i would go to school and if i got sick at school i was told to go home 😂🤷🏻
You didn't go home? That's fricked up
@@Kubson21_ Yeah it kinda was 🥲 🎃
I’m also really sick at the moment and watching this while bedridden was such a pleasure. Thank you for the perfectly timed masterpiece ❤
I actually have high fever right now, but this video definitely helped me distract myself from not breathing. Thank you ICS for making me laugh while I cough unbearably :)
Same bro
