Do I have MS??? Please help :(
Posted: Thu Mar 01, 2012 6:57 pm
So I've been experiencing some symptoms for a while now. For a few years now I would get an itch some where on my body but not know where it is, my friends thought this sounded like the stupidest thing ever when i tol them, anyway I will find the itch and scratch it and when I do that part of my skin goes numb then i'll scratch some where else and after it will go numb, and i will do this over and over until my whole leg skin goes numb. The last year or so I've been getting alot itchier at night especially my legs. I hate the heat and I use to love it and never be itchy. I had my first panic attack when I was about 22 (I'm 25 now) and my Dr told me it was anxiety. Ever since then I have been dizzy all day and always thought it was the anxiety since my dr told me it was. I feel off balance sometimes like I'm walking and its only a little bit but I'll almost fall over sometimes when I bend to pick something up and the dizziness and off balance is getting worse and more constant. However! I don;t feel numbness through out the day, this doesn't effect my mobility at all! keep that in mind, the only time i feel numb is at night SOMETIMES! when i scratch, after i go numb i feel a euphoric type of feeling and it scares me. Over the last few years I find it really hard to concentrate on things and it feels like im on drugs when talking to somebody...as my eyes look all around the room and i am dizzy and lightheaded. My girlfriend says my pupils always dilate really BIG then really SMALL and it looks like im on drugs but im not on anything! I thought this may be all anxiety problems but i read a little on ms and it scared me. My vision has been getting a little blurry although i thought it was all in my head at first as well as the dizziness until the dizziness got worse. I find like my eyes are out of focus or something, its hard to explain. Also I forgot to mention but I had a few muscle spasm's here and there and didn't know what they were at first, it felt like something inside me kicking my skin or pushing or like a pulse which is originally what i thought it was (a pulse) and i never had this until the last couple of years but sometimes when im sleeping or just falling asleep I have little mini seizures very quickly and wake up and feel my self jolt as i come to a stop and my gf wonders whats going on. I have been very tired but also have depression and thought it might be because of that, but i have Absolutely no energy or will to do anything and something as simple as going to school for a 1/2 day tires me to the point i need a 4 hour nap.
I'm asking mainly did anyone on here who has MS feel the exact same way before they were diagnosed? Thank you
