Hi so my story is kind of long I just need some opinions on some symptoms I had since around 2 years ago, and people here have a lot of knowledge about MS, I am a 21 year old Male. So it started when I was 19. I started feeling this tingling on my feet so I started searching for possible causes on the internet (probably bad idea) so I thought I had MS because the first symptom is usually tingling. Ok so I went to a neurologist who ordered a brain MRI and a EEG. The doctor was pretty good and the first thing he suspected was actually MS but both of my test came back fine, no scars on my brain and normal EEG. So I continued my life thinking it was just anxiety or stress. Months later I started having some aches on my hands so I went to another doctor who ordered a hand MRI, XRAY, some blood tests and a EMG of my hand and basically found nothing wrong. I kind of ignored the tingling on my feet at the time so I don’t remember having it so often. So went to two doctors and all the tests came fine. After all the tests I just went on with my life. The next year I started having twitching on my legs, arms and hands, the twitching was kind of random but it scared me to death because it thought I had ALS. I never checked this with a doctor because twitching in ALS comes with weakness and I never had this symptom. So now I have no idea what’s wrong with me because I have tingling feet, its probably a bit worse than before, some occasional twitching and I am having some tingling on my face that appeared around 2 months ago, I have a terrible posture so that’s probably the cause of the tingling on my face but I still don’t have no idea on the cause of the other symptoms. So I just wanted to share my story and read what you guys think of my symptoms. Could it be MS or something else?
Hi Caceres. It sounds like you could have had fibromyalgia. MS and fibromyalgia have similar symptoms. I would talk to your doctor about it.
Hi Deb. So do you think my symptoms share anything with MS?. I will definitely talk to my doctor but right now I am kind of low on cash so I am going to wait some months and mention fibro to the doc and see what he thinks, I heard fibro causes tingling and all kind of symptoms.
Hi Caceres. Like I said fibromyalgia and ms are very similar and we all have different symptoms. The only way you will know for sure is to talk to your doctor about it.
