as a person who has MS going through finding the right diagnosis is a rough rode.  Having had friends who had symptoms but not MS itself its just as frustrating.  One thing I would have you check, is if you are sensitive to Processed Free Glutamate.  The body reacts with a surprising amount of MS type symptoms.  Check out truthinlabeling [DOT] org

The person with MS can suffer almost any neurological symptom or sign, including changes in sensation (hypoesthesia and paraesthesia), muscle weakness, muscle spasms, or difficulty in moving;difficulties with coordination and balance (ataxia);problems in speech (dysarthria) or swallowing (dysphagia), visual problems (nystagmus, optic neuritis, or diplopia), fatigue, acute or chronic pain, and bladder and bowel difficulties.Cognitive impairment of varying degrees and emotional symptoms of depression or unstable mood are also common.

But having few of these symptoms do not mean that you have MS.
It has to be diagnosed by a neurologist: The most commonly used diagnostic tools are neuroimaging, analysis of cerebrospinal fluid and evoked potentials.

Take care and come back to us on further queries!

i am also undiagnosed, but have some symptoms of ms. a few months ago my urinary frequency was at its worse, i had to go about every half hour and always felt like i was about to have an accident. at the same time as this i had pretty bad pain in my thighs, it felt like the pain was deep in the bones and at times it felt like they were burning a little, and i think i imagined that they were weak because i didn't have any actual problems walking or running. Both of these went away, but i still have some urinary frequency. i dont know if the urinary symptoms and the leg symtoms often occur simultaneously but it did for us.
