Symptoms before diagnosis

I’ve not been diagnosed with MS, but I’ve many ongoing symptoms. Recently I attended my GP with stress and vertigo (ongoing for several months) so much so, my job became impossible. Since then, I’ve been experiencing some debilitating symptoms, and am awaiting to see a neurologist. My body doesn’t feel like mine any more, the spasms and tingling have taken over. Every single day I’ve excruciating pains in my neck and my head, and my visual disturbances are increasing in severity.

Has anyone experienced similar? It would be reassuring to hear of similar

Hi Bloom

My early symptoms were sensory, (tingling/buzzing) and affected my hands and feet.

the pain was quite minimal (she says with the benefit of hindsight) and my eyes are ok.

now though everything hurts! in fact I’ve taught myself to allow only one thing to hurt at a time, all my parts have to form an orderly queue and take turns!

What I’m trying to say is that everyone’s experience of their own MS is different.

try to make a note of your symptoms. it is handy to read through before your appointment.

Thank you for your reply, Carole.

I get tingling/buzzing sensations in my fingers and my feet daily, sometimes the sensation is so strong it almost feels painful.

I hope you’re not struggling too much, it’s awful having all these various symptoms.

Kind regards

Bloom
