Help advice so many problems already

[Krispt]

Hi guys
Just a quick background
I'm 30 yrs old, ive had so many symptoms and issues that it's scaring me in a big way
December - Lhermittes - went away feb to barely noticeable
January - hand tingl, feet tingle
Feb - feet started burning, brought a weird achey arm and odd pains in leg muscles all over both legs
March - much of the same
April - the odd feeling moved to left arm too

In the past two days both legs have had muscle pains and aches from my hamstrings to thighs that sometimes burn and up to buttocks and private areas. I've been struggling to walk any distance as my legs get real stiff and heavy and ache on the insides

I've ask had the fasculations in eyelids arms legs everywhere randomly.

Now I know that all seems like loads and that's what scares me?' I had an mri in jan clear brain and c spine and two neuro exams jan and feb all normal.

I'm terrified at how quickly the symptoms have come on including the spasticity whijc I was told should be later in disease, does this sound like a relapse? Or very aggressive ppms or something entirely different! It's terifying me and I would love some advice

Sorry for the rambling and questions let me know

Thabkyou I didn't realise
I've got tablets for it called sertraline I'm also seeing a psychologist one I used for years on a professional level so she knows me all over
I appreciate what your all saying I do and I sort of get to grips with it then something else will happen or a symptom will get worse it' knocks me backwards
I've done so much reading on it all that i know this is a strange presentation for Ms but it's what's happening and I know some people do have fast progression

Although I do sympathize, I stand by my answer. What are you doing to treat your OCD anxiety?

By the way, your profile lists you as female, but you can change that easily using its 'edit' function.

Ess you are spot on and I do appreciate it
I am a man by the way and usually a confident self employed man
However this has reduced me to being a mess
I know Ms shouldn't be as quick as this adding new symptoms all the time, but whatever it is, with me it is that way
I had a new mri friday and I have a follow up with my neuro should it be needed, along with a second opinion next week so I can't do anymore I huess
I think it's the not knowing and the prognosis etc that I'm struggling with onviously coupled with the extreme anxiety, I know there's no way of knowing but I've read the prognosis factors etc 3 systems at onset male progressive etc. I've convinced myself it'll be bad for me
But I do know what your saying and I can see how guys would be getting annoyed by me, I'm really sorry for all the q's but you guys are all that's keeping me slightly sane right now

You have reassigned yourself an edss score, have re-diagnosed carpal  tunnel (which by the way is not part of the central nervous system and thus not MS), you have diagnosed spasticity, etc., etc. All done by you, none by a doctor.

You are very polite, and I'm sure, quite a nice woman. You thank people for their comments, and follow that with 'Yes, but------.' To me that means you are ignoring everything you don't want to hear so as to pursue your own agenda. All the while you concede you have runaway OCD anxiety regarding your health. Why can't you understand that you are making things much worse for yourself when you go round and round with these fears?

No matter what else may be happening with you, you need immediate help with the anxiety issues. You simply cannot live that way, or at least I couldn't, nor could anyone I know. Why are you not making this front and center, your first priority? If you have MS, which is highly doubtful, it will wait, believe me. No one's symptoms take on new body parts every day, the way you describe it. Your brain and spine would have to be loaded with lesions, and I gather you have none.

But do you even have an appointment with a neurologist? Do you have new MRIs scheduled? When?

I feel so strongly about this that will not be responding further to you until you've seen a doctor and have had further MRIs. And until you've taken important steps to manage your anxiety. My answering this way is no big deal, I know, and others here may feel and act differently. But I believe that any further response from me would simply mean I was aiding and abetting your severe, even crippling, anxiety.

I send best wishes and hopes that you get help.

I know you guys all think this is anxiety etc and it cannot present like this
But it is looking increasingly lore likely, the leg sympotks are worse the arms are worse now too and there is no sign of it letting up
I don't have the time to just see how it progresses, if the previous four months are anything to go by
Does the orogressive variants ever have a levelling off or slowing down? This is now gettin ridiculous

Hi Barbb
Thabkyou for that I know what you mean and you are correct
It's difficult because a lot of it is subjective
Today Its got to issues with both arms, aching numb weakness from the shoulder down the arm to the hand! Is this normal in Ms?
Some of the sympotks I know are Ms like but it's terrifying me at the rate they're are worsening and adding to others, it was only right arm it's now both and both legs
