Welcome to the group HP-

While some of your symptoms are indicative of MS, the majority are not commonly associated. While we are often reminded that having MS does not exempt us from other health issues, a compound, complex diagnosis is rare.

I think it is more likely that there is a single issue causing the lion's share of your symptoms. It doesn't sound like that single issue is MS. What kinds of docs have you seen?

Wow it sounds like complex migraines. .. with a possible hemiplegic portion... is the weakness on sided? I have hemiplegic migraines and a lot of people in my group say they "crave" certain foods during their aura phase... this is just a thought... I'm not a doctor:) good luck and I hope you find the answers soon..

That is a lot of different symptoms. Have you read the health pages at the bottom of this page? there is a lot of good information.

I know about waiting for tests and being scared and depressed it is normal. No one likes waiting and not knowing what is going on. I have had to wait many years to be diagnosed with several illnesses. I have learned a lot of patience

Make sure at least your symptoms are addressed by a General Practitioner if you can.
