If not MS, then what?

New diagnosis and before diagnosis
1

Hi All, I’m new :slight_smile: I see the neurologist on Monday 19th Feb, I’m pretty nervous, feel sort of prepared for further investigations and for them to say it could be MS. I am 40 and have been having symptoms for about 18 months, but have only really added them all up to come up with MS recently, I suppose I’m wondering, if not MS, then what?

I have been having the following symptoms, eye twitching (now into the 4th month, optician says looks normal, could be stress), eye blurring, headaches, face/head numbness/pins and needles on right side, pins and needles in my right arm, fingers twitching (right side), brain fog, forgetting words, extreme tiredness, falling over and I have been having this awful winding sensation where I gasp as if I have been winded- my chest contracts and then it passes, I go tingly all over after this - could this be the MS hug?

Welcoming anyone’s thoughts or opinions :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:
