I am a 25 year old female. A little over a year ago I started having strange symptoms, including: numbness and tingling in my legs, mostly my right leg and it almost felt like it was asleep from my toes to by upper thigh/hip. In about 1-2 weeks the numbness and tingling moved up my right side of the body to my arm and shoulder. Within a week I felt like I had loss of control in my legs, I kind of shuffled and was careful climbing stairs, etc because I stumbled a few times and almost fell. In about two months I felt completely "off," I had just started a new job and I had problems concentrating, word associations and I would simply forget things if I didn't write detailed notes I would forget. I went and saw a Dr in late April '10, he ran several blood tests, the first two discoveries revealed I was vitamin D deffecient and I had an underactive thyroid. When I started taking supplements for both I noticed the concentration issues started clearing up in a month or so. However my legs still bothered me and sometimes felt like needles were pricking me in the right leg. In the summer I noticed I started having muscle spasms all over my body, feet, calves, thighs, buttox, and shoulders. Today, the leg symptoms have persisted and the last two weeks I noticed my sentences are scrambled. I didn't notice it until my coworkers pointed it out. For example I would mean to say, "lets drive the car" and "lets car the drive" instead... SOOO FRUSTRATING!! I was even speaking in front of a group and completely mixed up two different theories' and their titles and confused everyone beyond explanation. The first MRI of the brain came back ok (in May). I just got another of my back and I will find out the results next week. There has been discussion of a lumbar puncture as well. I have visited 3 doctors and 2 neurologists so far and all have voiced concern about MS but they want to eliminate other possibilites. They have also warned that it can be a long road to diagnosis with the symptoms I'm presenting. My question to you all, does it sound like I'm headed down the right road? I'm living in a new place, I don't know anyone and don't have anyone to talk to about this. Would it be too soon for me to find a MS specialist to possibly focus in on elimiating MS? Sometimes I feel the dr's I'm seeing now aren't very aggressive or on the "up and up." I have some medical history too, if you think it would be helpful to share that too I can surely do so. I'm so frustrated and I just want to feel better again. I'm often very tired and the uncomfortability often affects my normal lifestyle, I like to travel, run, etc but all those things seem to make the symptoms worse. I look forward to your comments and advice!
