IM also at my wits end , i have all the signs i have early onset of ms but been to the doctors 3 times and thay have not said i might have ms ,one said if i wake up blind in one eye and cant move a leg i may have ms ,
Other than that im at a loss
And advice would be most appreciated
Hi, that comment from the GP isnt very helpful!
Those symptoms may or may never occur…so dont take them too seriously.
As you say, you dont know if you have MS. Let your neuro do his job and take it from there.

I’m sure the doctor was doing his/her best to reassure. As I am sure you are aware, lots of people turn up at the GP, scared stiff and wrongly convinced by Dr Google that they have MS. I hope that you’re one of them, and it sounds as though the GP thinks there’s nothing too serious amiss, so hurrah for that.
Time will tell, of course, and if more concerns emerge that then change the GP’s view, or a suspicious pattern of symptoms establishes itself, or whatever, he/she will likely change his/her approach accordingly - they are logical people and that’s what they do. So don’t despair of finding out what (if any) disease process lies at the root of your troubles. Time is the best diagnostician, as they say.

My GP was also rubbish. Told me even if he made the referral, it’s unlikely Neurology would see me as my symptoms were slight. Once I got the referral, the Neurology dept were quick to act, got an MRI, then a lumber puncture, given MS diagnosis 1 week later
Gp’s are useless.
I don’t think Gp’s should be allowed to give advice and screen for symptoms with autoimmune disorders and complex conditions. I genuinely don’t.
They don’t have a clue about them and when they can’t find an answer they either say “it’s all in your head” “it’s anxiety” “health anxiety” . Sorry for the rant. But I really don’t like Gp’s. I don’t go to them anymore.
Gp’s should only be allowed to analyse blood results, heart issues, cancer etc
Thanks
