I Want to Know If I Have Ms. Posted: 03-25-07 19:07pm
Hi my name is souhilla and I am 16 years
old. I want to know if I have ms. for the
past month I have been pulling muscles
everywere. at first I thought I was not
warming up properly before p.e but then I
started pulling them so often that it
could not be from my pe class. then I
figured I only have p.e once a week, and I
dont exercise any other time. I have
pulled muscles in both shoulders, left and
right sides of my stomach ,and both legs
in like the inner thigh area.all happened
one after the other. as a result of some
sport I played.I mean I know pulling a
muscle is common but I pull them so often.
im only sixteen and I can barely run
across the room.I gave also lost weight.
and my parents are very worryed. they
think it's ms.but I dont think it is I
have perfect vision,I dont shake and only
recently I have felt a weird feeling in my
legs and I am really tired,but I think
thats all mental because I am so worried
that I have ms and I keep reading the
symtoms online.all this has happend within
too months. and I am really getting scared
because my cousin had ms and she died at
the age of 21. is it genetic. I went to
the doctor and she said she does not think
I have ms but she told me to get a blood
test. but the weird thing is I went to the
hospital not too long ago for the pain in
my side and they gave me a cat scan and
blood test to see what was wrong an
nothing showed up it was just a muscle
strain. and that was like a few months
ago. wouldnt the cat scan show that I have
ms?. I dont want to tell my parents about
the weird tingling feeling in my legs b/c
they are worryed enough. I would really
appreciate it if some one could help me
answer these questions as soon as possibe.
I am so worryed that I can barley focus on
my school work.
thanx ~souhilla

Please, tell your parents. They have
reasons to be worried, as you said, it is
genetic.
Get to a doctor!! Gods, I can't name the
number of people who come on here with
serous problems asking us to diagnose
them. You need to go to a doctor and get
checked out, that's the only way to know.
Please, please go.

thanx for the reply.
the thing is I went to the doctor so she
sent to get a blood test and I am now
waiting on the results. she says that she
does not think it is ms. honestly I dont
know what to think. I am so worryed I've
never been sick before it's so scary. but
there is also a big possiblity that I am
aneemic. cuz i have lost alot of weight
and my muscles are very week that any
little thing I do I pull one. I am also a
very unhealthy eater my school is very
demanding so I stay up all night and load
up on coffee and red bull a few times a
month. I used to be very active but for
the past 6 months I have not been
exercising.so i could have also loss
muscle mass which could be causing me to
pull muscles.

it sounds like you need to first get the
blood results, and try to narrow it down
before taking action or jumping to
conclusions.

thanx for the reply and yea your right.
but the weird thing is I keep thinking
about it. also ever since I read that one
of the symptoms of ms is one leg hurting I
started to feel it .every time I sit on
the floor on my knees when I get up I have
a sharp pain on my right knee the pain
continues for like 10-15 min then it goes
away. I finally told my parents they said
that it's b/c I have weak muscles. but I
think it's all mental.
