[LindyLou252]

I have so many things going on with me. After I had my daughter in 2010, I developed iritis. I have had it 4 times since. Also, here are other symptoms I've had over the past 6 years:
Myoclonic jerks
Heat sensitivity
Chill bumps on head
Iritis
Pain behind right brow
Back pain
Costochondritis
Ear issues
Fatigue
Dizziness after standing up
Hives
Low libido
Poor concentration/memory
Weakness
Night sweats
Cold hands and feet
Dry hair and skin
Carpal tunnel
TMJ
Irregular periods
Irritable
Anxiety
Heart flutters
tailbone pain

What do y'all think? Thanks so much!

I agree with JJ. It sounds like a difficult combination of symptoms to live with, but it's not a list that adds up to sounding like MS.

Hi and welcome,

I don't think you need to be concerned that it could be MS, 99% of your symptoms have no primary association with neurological conditions like MS, so MS would be a less likely cause of all your symptoms.

The only symptom i can see on your list that could be could be caused a neurological condition is the 'Myoclonic jerks' but there are different types and causation and depending which it is limits the list of potential causes eg the most common type is something you experience whilst asleep/falling asleep which is called Sleep myoclonus or sleep starts, it is associated with sleep disorders, restless leg syndrome but generally it's not typically a sign of abnormal....why type have you been diagnosed with?      

Mainly your symptoms list could be caused by many different medical issues but Iritis is inflammation of the iris and it is associated some specific medical conditions eg Ankylosing Spondylitis, Reiter syndrome, Sarcoidosis, IBS, Lyme disease, Tuberculosis, Toxoplasmosis, Syphilis, Herpes simplex, Herpes zoster etc and worth considering....

Hope that helps.....JJ
