I’ve had muscle twitching now for about 6 months but I’ve had back issues/pain for about 3.5 years. Recently had an mri that showed 2 large disc buldges in my Lower back l4/l5. And severe right
lateral recess stenosis with potential compromise of the descending right s1 nerve.
Now I didn’t realise how bad my back actually was u til I got this report.
Could this cause my twitching? I also get buzzing sensations in my legs/ pain in my joints especially hands and fingers + my left side of my body tends to feel weaker sometimes
Is anyone is going through anything similar?

I’m only 29, and I have 2 young kids, this is exactly copied from my mri results of lumbar spine
I’m freaking out and no idea what I’m meant to do now.

FINDINGS:
Alignment of the lumbar spine is normal. No compression fracture or
destructive bone lesion is visualised.
The conus terminates at L1/2.
The facet joints are unremarkable.
There is degenerative disc bulge at L4/5 and L5/S1.
At L5/S1, there is a prominent central to right paracentral disc
extrusion measuring 8 x 6mm trans x 11mm CC. There is a severe righ
t
lateral recess stenosis with potential compromise of the descending
right S1 nerve in the subarticular recess.
No foraminal stenosis is detected.
No marrow oedema identified to suggest stress response

So my son who is now 7 got his ASD level 1 diagnosis along with an adhd diagnosis last year when he was 6. After a couple of years of thinking he may be on the spectrum, as well as the school raising come concerns as well.
He is super smart, very switched on and I would say very high functioning.
He doesn’t have melt downs, his behaviour is usually great (the school has said this as well) and it’s gotten better as his aged.
Although he does need to regulate often, sensory seeks and has his quirky special interests. As well as is off in his own little world most of the time.

The school keeps wanting to talk to me about possibly getting him another autism disgnosis to get funding from NDIS, but he already has a diagnosis made by his paediatrician which I’m aware there is still funding for?
Why would they be pushing for more?
They keep telling me he’s fine for now and doing well and very smart but they’re thinking of future years at school which I get. But also, how will we know how he will do in future years he may not need as much support?
Anyway, I’m just ranting but if anyone could give me an idea as to why they’d be pushing this so much it would be greatly appreciated cos at the moment I’m a bit confused as to what to do. And any advice is also welcome.

29f, and for the past few Months I’ve been having shorter length periods and a little ligher
or like this month my cycle was shorter, my period came 3 days earlier. (Usually I have a regular 26 day cycle it came on day 23)
I have too been having some symptoms which I didn’t know were perimenopause! But I think I’m too young? Anyway, who knows. My cycles have just been a bit random lately.

Might be stupid but is there a test for long covid?
If you have a lot of the symptoms but unsure how many times exactly you’ve had Covid and the timelines how will you be able to know?
I don’t always test but I know for a fact I’ve had Covid twice or 3 x By testing..
Last winter I had a virus (unsure what it was as I didn’t test) and since then I’ve had the weirdest symptoms…
But my last KNOWN time of having COVID was in 2023.
I’ve had symptoms of LC since the beginning of COVID though which is the crazy thing, before testing was even really a thing. I mean like Feb/March 2020.
Anyone else?
