Is this MS?

Hello. So I've been going to various doctors for over nine months trying to figure out what could be causing this pain in my side. It comes on randomly yet suddenly and can be very painful. Every time I exercise the pain gets so back it is physically painful to breath although i am in decent shape. My face has also been twitching along with slight twitches in my arms, legs, hands and feet. I have been overly tired for sometime now but that may be due to stress. I also get very dizzy while standing up too fast and i have started to stutter and it is hard for me to speak sometimes if that makes sense. Could this be MS?

Sizz I hear your concern. It could be many things. It really will take a doctor or several to sort it all out. It sounds like the Neurologist is doing tests which is good. I know January 15th seems like a lifetime away. Do you have support from parents or a friend while you go through all this? All of us need support when things are uncertain. Uncertainty can be an uncomfortable place to be. I wish there was more I could tell you.
