I am having severe vertigo and light headedness and numbness in arms and legs! I went to regular GP and he thought I had inner ear infection, wasn't sure though! I just had my 2nd child in July and since then I have been  experiancing all of the above, it wasn't until last night that my husband said maybe I should be check for MS. I am not sure what to do! Any suggestons! I just want to be healthy for my family!

I don't understand why your doctor couldn't tell you whether you have an inner ear infection or not, did he examine you?  Did he give you any antibiotics?  Yes, if things still bother you, you should share your concerns with your doctor.  It could be many different illness' that bring on vertigo.  We will be waiting to here from you.  Try not to worry, but be pro-active and let your doctor know you are concerned.

Hi. Inner ear infection? if he did not checked you, did he order some blood test to maintain or rule out his diagnosis of Inner ear infection?
It is true, there are many things that can give you light headeness and maybe vertigo, VOR problems, anemia (can give you dizziness and have many other symptoms) vitamin deficiencies and so on. MS will also do so but it is better to see a doctor that can start rulling out each condition that could be causing that before coming to a thought of MS. Make an appointment with your doctor and if not go to another one and get another set of ears and eyes to test you and see you. Good luck.
