Could Is Be Ms At This Age? Posted: 01-16-06 01:00am
I know there are tons of threads out there
saying "could it be ms" but perhaps I
could trouble you for one more read
through. I'm 18, far too young in my
opinion to have any health problems, but
anyway...In the recent past, i've been
developing vague symptoms that didn't
really seem to connect with each other.
For example, vertigo, hearing loss,
trouble finding the right word to say and
short term memory loss (after being a
straight a honor student for years),
muscle tightening in my leg and hip,
headaches, occasional spasms, periferal
vision loss, aching pains in my legs and
back, fatigue, feeling of weakness in my
legs, clumsiness...I could go on. None of
them are severe or debilitating enough to
stop me from my normal routine, but more
of a nuisance. I stumbled upon the forum
to see if anybody may seem to see
something that may indicate ms. I would
really appreciate it :wink:

Hi littlebadger,
what you've described are "typical"
symptoms of ms, but then again they can be
a number of other things. Just to be on
the safe side, I would monitor them
closely and maybe have your doctor refer
you to a neurologist for an
opinion/consultation. Since you are
still very young and the symptoms are not
that severe, you still may be able to nip
this in the bud if anything. I know it
sucks, believe me. But if all else at
least you've spoken to a doctor, or have
him order you a cat scan.

Ms can strike at any time.. I was
diagnosed at 19.. Im still only 20.. And
I thought I was too young too.. Is still
hard to believe, but its something that
happens and you get used to.. Its scary
as heck to not know whats going to
happen.. But always gotta live for the
day
