Please help. Worried about multiple sclerosis

[Louieboni]

hi. I have been bothered my the muscles twitches I am experiencing. I am having it for almost 4 months now. It started in my legs but now its spread to my arms, face, neck, chest, and back. Also, sometimes i feel some sort of numbness in my left arm. sometimes my legs are in pain although i find no trouble walking even when in pain. I am afraid i might have MS as I also sometimes feel dizzy and visual disturbances. I went to a neurologist and ordered some tests. Basic neurological tests were normal and so was MRI, MRA, and EMG-NCV. The doctor told me that I have BFS. Although all tests came normal, I am still worried that I might have MS. Should I seek another doctor's opinion regarding MS? thanks

Thanks for the info.

This is what I found on BFS. It sounds like you could have this condition and that paresthesia (numbness) is a symptom of this condition. I also checked out a forum on BFS and they were discussing dizziness with this condition. Apparently that is also a symptom.

You may want to check out MedHelp's MS forum and post your question there. If you don't feel comfortable with your neurologist's responses to your questions, then you should consider seeing another neurologist.
