I would suggest that you speak with your mom about this.  She may make an appointment with your doctor, for him to check you out.

Hope you feel better soon,

Heather

I know you must be worried, but like Heather said, sharing it with your mom could really help.  I don't know much about MS since I'm new to all of this and not even diagnoses yet.  Wish I could give you some answer.  Hang in there.

Hi staryi,

It's normal to feel that you may get what your Mom has.  Afterall, Moms and Dads pass most things down to our children, including bad habit sometimes. . .ha/ha. .. hope that made you laugh.  

As Heather and Carolyn suggest, please have a chat with your Mom, if you are able.  If not, talk to someone who can get you to see a doctor to just have a regular check up.  Remember, there doesn't have to be a major problem to get a check up, or a physical.  If you are in sports in HS, it would be a perfect opportunity to get one, and you can talk to them about what your feeling w/your body.  

In the meantime, take good care of yourself.  Stretch your muscles, exercise, drink lots of water (dehydration can bring on a pain in the joints), and eat healthy.

Hope we've helped a little,

Be well,
SL
