I just do not know! MS? Fybromalgia? Stress? Anxiety? Hipocondriac? Lack of Vitamine

Hi there,
How can I start here?? hummm well first of all I hope I can find some answers and advice here in this Forum. I am pretty worried and scared that I probably have MS or Fybromalgia or just maybe Panic attacks and stress. My story starts in March 2008 when I started to feel very weird sensations all over my body but if i can say no pain just a flash all over my spine and then that sensation went all over my body...leaving me with a sensation like if I drunk a poison...and worried and blue for a few minutes; some then other symptons were pain in my muscles.. like someone was poking you ( very anoying and got me mad sometimes)...and numbness hands also while I was sleeping.( i though probably brain tumor but no headaches at all) , some back pain but no vision problems , no dizzyness , no problems swalloing, no headaches ( exception the fist day that I started feeling this symptons , terrible migrane), no problems or cordination; no problems language ( I speak daily 3 languages and mixing them somtimes) nor mathematics. those symptoms disappeared 98% from August 2008 to March 2009 that started again with thumb base pain both hands , some poking in the muscles arms and legs..and lower back pain...but this time they did not go away like last year..but they are the same no more painful and if I can say less painful that the first time or maybe this time i am trying to handle the problem more calm; but I am worried and stressed that there is the possibility of MS or Fybromalgia ( I know FM is not Inherited but I want to mention that my mom has it :( ) . Maybe it is important to mention that I have been always worried of suffer a temrinal disease or pain.. and I am no diagnosed with Panic attacks or hipocondriac but I know that I am a hipocondriac , and also believe that does not matter if I am one.. these symptons are real...or a hipocondriac can create symptons? also while they are sleeping? like my title says I just do not know anymore... Also probably it is important to say that in the first time I was under stress of looking for a better life and a better job once I got it after months of searching and start working there the pain was gone.....then... due the economy thing went bad.. and I was umployed this last Sep 2008 to Jan 2009 lots of stress but no pain no nothing.... Feb I found and other Job and Mar came and I start feeling pain again so I do not blame stress ( although work is not my only worry like the most of the people in the world there is family problems, moving place to place, reminding everyday that I am probably dying for something and I could go to the doctor cuz I did not have insurance until last month..etc) , ....cuz I was working and paying dues.....I just bought a house so another worry there for my job security...etc...My best friend is a Doctor and he told me that my symptons are to vague.. and unsual.. could be just lack of exercise, too much stress , and that the mind is powerful and start doing thing just because you are thinking that you have something.... like I said.. this second time... no worsening of the symptons just let's say the same.. and no other problems that those bugging pain, poking feeling with the flashes of discomfort now and then (not everyday) and back pain.... 3 weeks ago redness in right eye but no blurry vision or doble vision or involuntary movement..the eye doctor said just eye pressure high but now it is gone with drops...this 2 years I have been reading a lot about neurological problems and syndromes but what really scare me to death two days ago was that Ms can go away for undifine period of time and come back... so now I am thinkling that my life is over...... I have an appoint with a general medicine doctor this coming Friday and a rheumatologist because I thoght it is a lesion in the spine... now I am looking for Neurologists.....What do you think it could be? I am really convinced that is MS or beggining fo MS and I am scared to death and actually mortifying my family and my wife with my thoughs and fears... also everytime I read more and more those sensations get worse... and flashes... and panic...I am at the point of I do not know if it is ok to keep ready or better stop and talk to the doctor... maybe it is my willing of find hope.
I am living in VA for the last 5 years and someone suggested lyme disease...but I have never noticed a rush or see a tick close to me or in my house...
Thank you for your help and answers

But could very well be your spine is damaged somehow, which a CAT scan will show if anything is amiss and a neurologist can look into that, and the rheumatologist can figure out if you have lyme disease, and the general doc can do labwork to see if anything shows up in your blood like a deficiency or anemia, and he can also determine if your heartrate and blood pressure are normal or not. As for big diseases, they tend to show themselves in a significant way, often with lots of pain.
