Hello, I am new to the forum, it seems a great place so far with lots of advice.
I have worried myself googling (yeah, I know…)
I will say first of all that I have Sarcoidosis, so any other symptom I get seems to be attributed to that, although mine is not active. It just that I have some new symptoms.
Last week, I had a burning /discomfort around my rib cage. Not bad enough to take tablets, but there all the time. It’s continued all week, with me thinking it will probably go soon. It hasn’t, and I now have a tingling scalp, constant for the last 12 hours. When I googled, I also found that the following symptoms can be MS, and these are the ones I have:
My eyes have got more blurry over the last few months, and I get occasional double vision (it passes in a few seconds) plus I also get that it seems my eyes are wavering from side to side, like ‘shaking’.
My bladder is odd in that I basically have to race to the loo sometimes.
Extreme tiredness (which has been attributed to the sarcoid)
Insomnia, off the scale. I wake about 6 times a night. Tests a few years ago showed I had mild sleep apnoea but not enough to treat.
Brain fog. I cannot think of words and they are ‘there’ in my mind but I can’t get them out.
I think on Monday I will have to see the GP because this rib/chest/stomach thing (its also in my back today) is driving me mad and I can’t concentrate. Am I being crazy thinking some of these are MS symptoms?
The eye thing I have had for years and have mentioned to the opticians but all they have said is I need to have the regular check ups because sarcoid can affect the eyes sometimes.
Any advice is honestly welcomed
