anxiety or ms

[shmtty28]

24/m- it all started when i noticed a sharp decline in my sex drive and lack of seman upon orgasm( no problems with erection).  i googled my symptom(retrograde ejaculation) and noticed MS.  I am way to familiar with this diesease from losing my uncle to it 6 months ago.  Since my computer mishap i have been developing other symptoms like random cramps in the back of my legs, cramps in forearms etc.  Everytime I feel a different sensation i go back to my computer.  I now have short term memory issues, not suprising considering the only thing in my mind 24/7 is MS.  i dont know if i am in a donward spiral due to health anxiety or actually have a cause for concern.  I am looking for any advice to help with my situation.  Im freaking out   =/

Health anxiety is not unusual among young men, and it does seem to be happening to you. I'm not suggesting that's all that's going on, since of course I don't know that.

I agree you should be checked out, and if nothing is found wrong, maybe some talk therapy and/or meds would help you. You need to eliminate the possibilities and find some solutions.

You should know that it is rare to die from MS. Most of us here manage fairly well, with bumps in the road we have to deal with. Focusing on the worst-case scenario is self-defeating and way out of proportion, so I wish you well in getting past this bad time.

Have you talked to your PCP about your anxiety?

i have also been experiencing really bad headache in my temples that seem to get worse at night.  i just had 4 wisdom teeth extracted 2 weeks ago tho, so maybe due to the procedure?
