I heard about bekky off radio 1 today & it’s made me think… I have to get checked out. 34yrs old, terrible balance, wobble over all the time. Some days I walk like I am drunk or have stiff wooden legs (this is making me giggle, I must look ridiculous) some days am ok. CANNOT turn properly when walking & going down any stairs is a problem. Itches & twitches plus urgency to pee… Sometimes! If I hear MS being mentioned, my ears prick up… Maybe I have it? Do the symptoms sound familiar to some? I had a scan about 7yrs ago which didn’t show anything… Could that change? Advise may just send me to face up to it…
Hello and welcome 
There are literally hundreds of possible causes of your symptoms, but yes, they happen in MS too.
The fact that your scan was clear 7 years ago really doesn’t mean anything. MS is a progressive condition - the amount of damage increases as time goes on, which means that the longer you have MS, the more visible damage there is on MRI.
So… time to go back to your GP. A load of blood tests would be a good place to start - things like vitamin B12 and vitamin D deficiencies can cause all sorts of neurological symptoms. If they are clear or can’t explain everything, then it’s off to see a neurologist again.
No point in putting it off any longer!

Appointment on Thursday… Lets get this ball rolling 
Good luck for Thursday. Let us know how it goes, yeh?
luv Pollx
I will, thanks. Expect I’ll be referred for bloods… From what I have read it’s a long journey to diagnosis. But I’m hoping I get some form of identification this year, I’ve put it off for so long. I owe it to myself to see it through.
Just wanted to say hi and welcome There are some brilliant minds at work on this forum who are always here n happy to answer any questions etc ( I’m not 1 mind lol ) good luck for Thursday Lou
Good luck Ellemo x
Thank you for your messages. Does this make me sound crazy… I am talking myself in to having MS. And I know tomorrow is literally a GP visit and the start of a long long road but I don’t want it to be anything more sinister! This is crazy right? Almost wishing a disease on myself. I think MS would be a relief & I can start to learn to manage it. My confidence is going. If I go out I sit at the table in the restaurant for as long as possible, I do not want to have to walk around people. I dread ‘girls nights’ where beautiful shoes & dancing is required… Cue puppet on a string!!! I won’t go to any fitness classes because I don’t have the leg functions… Can’t run or jump. If this all turns out to be un-diagnosed I think I’ll be worse off than if I have MS. Tomorrow is the start of a long journey, I just don’t want to the destination to be unknown

Appointment next Thursday not today!!! Crossed wires between myself & health Center. I thought they’d fit me in quickly when she said ‘I have Thursday’… Of course she meant next Thursday! So a week to go…
