Q: Possible MS ?
asked by: tist on August 29th, 2008

Hi, im turning 21 year old male and I believe i have symptoms of MS.. Symptoms include recent arm/hand tingling/numbness, sleep problems, physical/mental fatigue, slight dizzyness, joint pain, flashing lights in both eyes sometimes spots of many smaller ones(all the time for at least a year), headaches, chest pain, burning sensation in head, eye twitch that lasts awhile.. i also feel depressed often, during these times the symptoms seem to be worse. about 4 years ago i started feeling "different" but i couldn't really find out why, it was mostly just being tired often and I believed it would go away.. over the years symptoms seem to come and go but the numbness/tingling is new.

Im not exaggerating these symptoms.. sometimes I freak and think im dying

Why do you think that you might have MS? Has anyone else in your family been dx with MS? Have you seen a doctor regarding these symptoms and what type of doctor(s) did you see, if any? If so, were tests ran and what type of tests and what were the results?

Do you have any current or past illnesses? Do you know of any immediate family member who may have an auto-immune disease? (no, not AIDs)...auto-immune disease is an umbrella of diseases.

I have MS and there are certain tests and criteria to be met and doctors to be seen, etc...

Have you had your sugar or your B12 level recently tested?
