Omgosh you sound like me , so crazy! And yes I’ve told my husband what you said, the doctors will 100% listen to what he says and take him seriously with me im just bounced around when most if my symptoms started at the same time! Not a coincidence.
I may ask about the cervical spondylitic myelopathy , i have some spinal stenonis in my neck and normal wear and tear (literally) but no one seemed to think it was bad enough to cause my issues. I also had an epidural with my son, I asked if that could’ve done it and the spine dr and surgeon both said probably not..
So I asked about a brain mri and the neurologist said no and he also said no to the last Np i saw. I dont understand why i can’t. Its my money and my head! If i could go out and get one myself in this area i would have because i need to know its okay 🤦🏻♀️ especially since a surgeon and my Np both mentioned MS or something similar.
It isn’t right that i can’t use my arms with out pain, write with out my hand cramping , or shred chicken with out them cramping, or have constant neck pain and tingling in my back at 42 years old. Im healthy and not lazy it doesnt make sense

Hello @cmccaffe81, welcome to Connect.
First off, I'm sorry you're going through such a rough time with a variety of symptoms. I understand and feel
for you. You struck me by talking about shredding chicken and how it affected you. It brought back early memories of my health changes when I was frustrated because I couldn't stir brownie mix.
Secondly, I hear you, and also brought my husband to some neurology appointments because he was spoken to differently than I was. Sad, but true.
Just to throw a different thought your way as you navigate further possibilities to rule out and look for answers - Central Sensitization Syndrome (CSS) is a chronic condition that more or less can be the culprit of chronic pain and hypersensitivities. Here's a video from Mayo Clinic's Dr. Sletten that explains further. It's worth a watch:

Will you let me know if any parts of the video resonate with you? I do wish you the best!
