Hello my name is Antonio, just recently turned 22 yay me! anyways so i decided to join the forum since i have a lot of questions & concerns & would really appreciate some advice & reassurance to calm me down or get answers. I'll try to make this as short & to the point as best as i can. Just really worried i have MS. Because from the research I've done it seems like a lot of the things I've been going through are symptoms of MS. So for about the last past couple of months I've been having a lot of weird symptoms, it all started this past summer when i started getting this forehead pressure around my nose bridge & forehead, it wasn't painful or anything just a dull pressure feeling it was annoying more than anything & to this day i still feel it but not as bad somedays its really noticeable other days i barely even notice it especially if i find myself distracted the best way to describe it is when you first put on glasses & you get that funny feeling between your eyes its pretty much almost like that. Had Xray,ct scan of head & sinus, & also CBCtest & urine test, ALL GOOD! I go on with my life it got better but then I started with more weird symptoms i started getting this almost like constant pressure feeling in my chest & at times painful especially if i extended & stretched my chest outwards & i don't know if thats what you would consider the MS Hug but that got me worried I also started getting muscle twitching across my body, vibrating feelings in my legs like if the muscle was not exactly twitching but vibrating , there were a couple days were i would feel a really warm sensation come & go on my right foot not my whole leg but just my foot, Ive also have felt my vision get blurrier! not sure if its in my head but i definitely feel it off & for like a week or two i would be getting a pain around my eye that would come & go. & I've also noticed that when i talk at times all of a sudden i slur my words or have a hard time finding the words to say. after the worrying & anxiety reached a peak of all these symptoms I go to the doctor again & he mentioned he wanted to rule out ms because he said some of my symptoms were resembling that of MS or a neurological problem so i had a MRI with & without contrast & everything came back normal! felt relieved but at the same time kind of like watta hell !!!!!! haha & idk if that should make me not worry about MS because i hear some people say you can still have it with a clean MRI :/ but in a way it did relieve me & i went on with my life some days i felt really good other days i would feel alot of the symptoms i mentioned all at once other days i feel some, & sometimes ill feel a specific one for a while & it will dissapear like the chest pressure feeling for example. but the most recent event that just recently happened & really made me scared was about a week ago when i woke up with vertigo! I didn't feel dizzy but when i walked i almost felt like i was tilting & just didn't feel balanced. That really got me worried!!!! & it got better but for the next couple of days after the event i still kind of had a lingering feeling of feeling a little off balance or just kind of brain fog! & idk if i should go to the doctor again, idk if this is all just anxiety because i definitely do feel like a have a slight OCD problem but just feel a little anxious! That vertigo event really got me thinking of maybe actually having this disease :/ any feedback would be so GREATLY APPRECIATED!

hi tony, happy belated, and welcome
good that you're in the doc's care, smart to be on the safe side and rule out ms.
more good news: you may already know you're on the young side for ms. and guys get it less too. so the stats are in your favour.
talk to us about life. what's a typical day, week, weekend in the life, for you?
