MS or no

New diagnosis and before diagnosis
1

Hi,

I am finally awaiting an MRI and appointment with neurology for something I feel has been on going for far too long. Brief mention of MS by the doctor.

It started about 5 years ago when I had a few falls with no explanation. Then the hand tremor started. I was 30 at time. Doctor thought it could be circulation and i was sent to physio as I also had back pain. Doctor just said my reflexes are good.

I have been so tired to the point i havent made food, got sent home from work or had energy for a bath or shower. This can vary day-day.

Over time these symptoms come and go. If i walk over certain distances my feet swell and I cant walk until the swelling reduces. Then the vertigo started 2 years ago which again comes and goes. I am also awaiting a hearing test as certain noises can be painful and I dont hear as well as i used too.

Then the numbness/pins and needles, once or twice in my face with shooting pains at points in my eyes. Both hands and feet numb spreading to the bottom of my legs

I feel like I am fed up going to the doctors, i feel like this is all in my head. I have ongoing leg, hip and back pain and constantly feel like a hypochondriac.

My question is, has anyone had a similar time frame for different symptoms at different times? I have bloods booked Tuesday so dont know if these can highlight anything. Ive had 100s of bloods and last year the doctor queried RA.

I feel like im always that person with something wrong, this year its gradully getting worse. Thank you
