Is this MS??

Hi, I'm 23 years old female and I have suffered with RANDOM symptoms since I was 15 years old. I've never had an MRI but have had my spine looked at. I have like a buzzing sensation sometimes I use to have it alot but not so much now, i get a sudden feeling of heat in my rt knee but to the touch its fine, I have always fallen (i'm the only person i know who falls at the zoo and sprains BOTH ankles) and my ankles are so messed up my left ankle is wasting away pretty much, every morning I wake up I feel like I'm 80 and have a hard time walking because I'm so stiff, I have low b12 and iron, horrible joint pain and swelling, My hands go numb and tingle if I use them for any amount of time.. especially writing and Im a nursing student so there is alot of writing lol, I have wet the bed since I was 15 years old, its the most embarrassing thing, I get constant UTIs and have alot of pressure when i urinate, I tested positive with an ana 1:160 titer, and my sed rate is high, I also blue fingernails that come and go, I also have PCOD which none of these symptoms are related too, I also have headaches which I've had since I was little they come and go, as soon as I eat i have to go #2. I get forgetful alot and kinda have to think awhile while im speaking its like im tongue tied.I was having a conversation with my mother. My grandmother use to fall ALOT, and had some of the same problems I have, they said it was an autoimmune but didn't find it til she was in her 70s so they decided not to investigate. The neurologist said that if she was younger with her MRI he would say that she had MS but since she had had mini strokes and her age he wasn't sure. I've come to my breaking point. I've suffered for so long I don't know how much more I can take. I've been searching and studying for awhile and this seems to always come up...sad thing is I have no insurance so there for no MRI or rheumy. Can anyone give me any advice or if you have suffered these same things please help me. I'm getting fed up!!! Thank you!!!!

cant say, ytou have a mess of symptoms. i would personally have a go at treating what you can. For the B12 deficiency, try Sublingual METHYLCOBALAMIN B12 tablets. Mine are 5mg at 83,333% the DV (yes, they are way powerful) I get them from an online retailer called iHerb.

For the restless leg, I personally have found a Magnesium Citrate tablet (or two) helps greatly within an hour of taking them. I also get them from iHerb (and no kick-backs)

With your low sed rate, have you looked into hughes? And when you say you have had your spine looked at, what do you mean? and what did they find?

Thanks. I have a high see rate and the spine thing was when I was 15 for the bed wetting they were making sure nothing was there causing the bed wetting. All they found was two bulging disks at L4 and L5.
