Does This Sound Like MS?

I know that I need an MRI and I have asked the doctor for one. However, since I live in Canada, it takes 6-9 months to get one... So as I wait, my anxiety is going out of control.

Symptoms:
2 and a half years ago- Blurry vision and seeing colors while writing final examination. This got better when I got up and walked around.

2 years ago to now-cognitive problems. Mainly concentration/brain fog problems. However, I found that I did just as good if not better
on school tests... So I dunno. It mainly happens when I'm alone.

2 years ago to now-Consistent muscle twitching.

Recently(1 month?)- Warm feeling in left foot sometimes. This gets better as I reposition my foot. Electric shock feeling on right side of scalp. This happens randomly and only on some days.

Background: 20 year old male

Does this sound like MS? Any comments/ suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!

Some of the things you talk about sound similar to MS. I've had MS for 22 years. It started with vision in one eye becoming very dark, hard to see. That has happened 3 times and lasted a month or so each time. I do have several issues, but tingling in my feet is one. It is constant. Congnitive issues arise sometimes as well. Who knows, there are a number of things it could be, not necessarily MS. You should probably wait for your MRI. Otherwise you are jumping to conclusions.
Good luck to you.
