Can't stand this numbness and muscle cramping anymore :/

Hi,
I'm a 38yr old female and I just wish they would give me something for whatever this is!
I already have several auto immune diseases including psoriatic arthritis. For 2 months now I have had whole body numbness, tingling and muscle cramping. My Rheumo says it's MS and so does GP. I see Neuro in 4weeks.
I have barely any sensation in my body and when I do it's travelling sharp tingling. Then my feet start burning or my shoulder muscles or calf cramps. Even my scalp is numb. I can't tell if I need to go to the bathroom because of numbess and I can't feel if I am hungry or full so I don't know how much to eat.
My walking is very difficult and can be painful at times. I just got told I have the balance of a 70 yr old because I'm bumping into everything like I'm drunk and jiggling like a tea bag.
I can't taste anything. I burn my mouth on too hot food. I can't feel the water temp in the shower.
At first it was a novelty to be numb and not feel pain but now it's driving me insane because I can't feel pleasure either! I feel so sad to think that I might never ever feel my partners touch again anywhere.
Almost forgot (you'll appreciate the irony) I'm doing the stupidest things. I walk into the room and turn the light off :/ I'm fumbling all the time. Typing is a nightmare because I can't remember the sequences of typing and have to type so slowly when I used to be very fast.
Aaaaaaaaarrrrrrrggggghhhhhh!!!!!!! Sorry but I really needed to let that out. Thanks for listening.
