hi all.
i hope you don't mind me writing here, but i'm kinda freaking out and i wanted some input.
I am a 40 yr old female, and some symptoms i'm having right now are scaring me greatly. all i can think about is it might be MS.
any input or help would be greatly appreciated.
here are what i'm feeling~
~about 2 mths ago i started getting twinges in my right cheek, like electric shocks, and then they also started on top on my head.
~about a month ago, i started getting a crawling/tingly feeling under my chin, which would run across my chin and then go away. i keep thinking something was on it my skin.
~ at the same time, i always feel like i'm vibrating or shaking
~ about 2 weeks ago, i started getting muscle spasms on my left side (mostly) from twitches in my legs , to my side, back , arm and hand, and even my throat started getting spasms once in a while.
~about a week ago, i started getting a muscle spasm in my right hand only
~in the last 2 days, the right hand spasm has turned into a crazy twitching of my thumb, that comes about every few minutes and lasts about 30 seconds at a time.
~today, i'm noticing that my lips keep quivering, and i have to keep biting them to stop it!
~ also, my vision has been strained lately as well, and i'm finding it hard to focus once in a while. this has been giving me headaches.
ughhhhhhhhhhh...
i'm freaking out here!!!!
