Symptoms - any advice please

Hi everyone

I was just wondering if anyone could give some advice

I’ve been having some weird symptoms and because my late mum had ms I just worried if these could be signs of ms

Over past few months I’ve been having weird shooting sharp pain sensations mainly in feet, hands arms and legs .

Also I’ve been having pain all over torso which comes in waves almost . Today my left leg felt like jelly and numb . When I walk I can’t feel any pressure on my legs if that’s makes sense . My balance is bad and I bump into things . My vision at night is really bad as well and I can only describe it as seeing million of dots like it’s a bad reception .

For about 2 and half years I have this really weird tremor - if I lift my for my foot tremors uncontrollably. If I move my hand slowly it tremors and slowly gets worse and worse . When I lift my index finger it also tremors and gets worse and worse . The weird thing is I can stop the tremor in my index finger with effort but if I leave it or about think about moving it it tremors really bad .

A few months back in work I also got this attack of extreme fatigue , and pain in torso - It was really hard to walk and I felt like I was in a bubble and couldn’t concentrate on anything . This lasted for two days ish and I staid in bed -I went to the doctor I didn’t mention anything apart from what was happening and he checked my reflexes and said all was fine and just sent me home - he said it could be my medication - I take Venlafaxine and quetiapine for severe ocd and anxiety - so when I mention things such as what’s going on the doctor says it’s anxiety .

My legs feel awfully heavy as well sometimes .

I’m not sure if this is all anxiety or my medication - I feel really bad for posting on here and I hate going to the doctors because I feel like they role their eyes at me - I’ve been diagnosed with emotionally unstable personality due to past trauma and things so I just feel like they don’t believe me . I’m not sure if I should just ignore all of this and just out down to medication and anxiety .

Any help would be really appreciated

I’m sorry to hear you’re experiencing so many things. Whenever there’s something happening that we can’t explain medically, it’s frustrating. I have RRMS, I’ve been there. It appears you’re already doing it. But my initial thoughts are to keep a medical diary.

Have a repertoire to offer the medical practitioner you speak to in future. At least then, they can see a potential pattern if there is one. Have you noticed any patterns with symptoms?

Not been in exactly the same situation but it all sounds very familiar to my struggle to be diagnosed. My advice would to go back to your GP and just very calmly say you would like an MRI as your mother has ms and you have been experiencing neurological symptoms. They can’t really say no to that. You’ll be referred to neurology and that’ll prob take ages but then just repeat your request for an mri and I really think they will do one for you. Then you should get an answer either way, which will allow you to make sense of what’s going on and plan how to move forward whatever the result. Good luck x
