newbie...

Hi there. I am new and not even sure if I have ms... lots of changes in the past couple of years. I had a strange episode this past summer with numbness and tingling and pins and needles in my back, arms and fingers ( two episodes since). I saw the doctor and she sent me in for a mri and scan on my head and neck. The results were one lesion found on my spine. She prescribed a medrol pack and clonazepam. I was instructed to keep track of my symptoms for the next six months. As I have been keeping track this is what I know... I wake up at night several times to potty (unusual for me) and then stay awake for several hours upon waking, I have this sudden and extreme itching in my legs (mostly my calves but sometimes hips and thighs), I lose my balance on occasion, and am forgetting important things lately, I slur my words often (like I am drunk), I am soooooooooooo tired... when I walk or stand and then finally sit, my legs are extremely tired/weak and, in general, for weeks at a time, I can feel so tired that I cannot get through the day w/out a nap or deep frustration by early evening, I cry daily. Can anyone give me any feedback? I would so appreciate any guidance or advise...
