Hi,
I started experiencing possible symptoms of MS about 6 months ago. To begin with, my father has had MS for at least 10 years. My first incident was somewhat mild, since it lasted less than 24 hours. However, it did cause some concern so I went to a neurologist. My first symtom was a shocking feeling that ran up and down the back on my right leg. Any time I touched the back of my leg, it caused the shocking feeling. This lasted about 24 hours. The next day the schocking went away, but then I experienced a buring feeling on the front of my leg. Almost like I was sunburned. This went away after 24 hours.
I saw a neurologist and he reccomended getting an MRI of my brain, given my family history. The results came back with multiple white spots, but according to my doctor they were small and not located in the parts of the brain that could signify MS. However, he did say that he could be wrong and wanted me to get a 2nd opinion with an MS specialist, who apparently is one of the best in the country.
I saw him about 2 weeks ago, and he didn't seem to have an opinion one way or the other. He didn't say that he did not think it was MS, all he could say was to do a follow up mri in a few months and also an emg. He also said that one of the white spots were considerably bigger than all of the rest.

I was completely fine dealing with all of the above, until the past week. The numbness in my legs and arms has gotten worse. I am feeling it off and on during the day, and it is a lot worse at night. For the past week I have had trouble sleeping, because I wake up and both of my arms are completely numb. I am also getting feelings of pins and needles, and occasional stinging in my toes. Kind of like it feels like someone took a staple and stapled my big toe.
Today has been the worst. I feel very shaky, almost like it is anxiety. But, I am not depressed/worried or anxious enough to feel like it is from anxiety.
I'm now worried, but I guess the only thing I can do is play the waiting game for the next few months until I go for my next mri and emg.

Has anyone else experienced the same? Any feedback from anyone would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
