Hi everyone,
I have had difficulty maintaining balance,
sometimes my leg gives out n goes to the
side, vertigo-once, I'm tired all the
time, I have muscle spasms in my leg n
arm, i have tremors of my hand and leg,
when standing my leg feels wobbly as if
about to give out, i feel numbness, pins
and needles, and also this is going to
sound strange but I feel like there is
electricity in my legs (this is all the
time), my back hurts most of the time, my
muscles feel extremely tight, my right leg
feels pulled as if I ran 50 miles, I feel
heat on my thighs that last about 5
minutes. I had worn glasses since i was 18
months old to the summer of freshman year
in High School and my vision was perfect
but now I have been feeling like when I
read things sometimes it looks as if
there's shining/cloudiness around the
words. I went to a neurologist but he said
I have anxiety. I had to go for an MRI,
which came back normal, but was not told
to get a spinal tap. The neurologist also
sent me for bloodwork and I have yet to
get the results. I feel so frustrated
because all the symptoms point to MS and
yet the doctor says i have "anxiety". He
asked me if I feel any nervousness or
anxiety when the symptoms occur and I said
no and yet he says I have anxiety? I just
feel so frustrated because I feel like
nobody is listening. Does this sound like
MS to you?

If you feel that something is wrong,
please seek a second opinion from a
different neurologist.

i also forgot to mention that i have
tingling that goes from my body up to my
scalp, and that the numbness and pins and
needles are in my feet and legs, and yes I
plan on going for a second opinion after I
get my blood test results.
