Hi I'm being referred to a neurologist from my gp as she seems lost now as to what is wrong and after a chat today she suspects it's ms.
For 12 weeks now I've had tingling in my lower half with numbness/wet feeling in my knees but over the last 6 weeks ish it is now in my arms and face. I've been on every pain relief going and nothing is stopping it plus With my vision it's as if I'm in a trance all the time and with some new tabs I feel drunk . I've had neck and lumbar X-rays and an bloods done for nearly everything and they were all fine. I've had over 4 weeks ago a lumbar mri and still waiting for results but the doc has said today if I had a herniated dics I would of heard back by now so she has to think of what step to take next. She said for a while she has thought it has been early ms signs but didn't want to worry me. She now is going to see if I need to go for a brain mri before seeing a neurologist as I could be waiting months for an appointment.
I'm scared but unsure what to think at the moment.
These seem to be my main symptoms,
Tingling all over
Get pins and needles very easily
Feels like Sciatic pain mainly right leg
Vision seems like I'm in a trance
Sometimes feel very woozy
Go light headed quite abit
Ringing in ears(tinnitus)
Left Eye twitch on and off
Slight hand tremors but worse in the morning
Stiffness in my lower back
I do get rather low in myself quite abit but would not say depressed and I can't handle any kind of stress, I seem to loose my temper very quickly.
Any kind of advice would be appreciated. Thanks

I assume your GP ordered blood work, including a vitamin D test (the "25-hydroxy D" test). Would you share your actual number result with us? If she did not order the test, ask the neurologist for it. Also, request your own copy of the test results – it is important to have the actual numbers.
