Hi,

I just want to know from people who unfortunatelyhave had CFS/ME for a number of years. Have you had any MS like symptoms during this time, like minor umbness of hands and feet ? Have you been tested for MS and what happened ? There appears to be similarites but they are distinctly different ?  I'm 6 months into my PVF now CFS, just feel zombified on a daily basis, some days worse than others. Like i'm 34 and it feels as if my heart is barely beating. Thought i felt my right foot feel numb this morning. I am awaiting to see a neurologist, upto12 weeks. The NHS is great.

Thanks for reading.

    Unfortunately, a diagnosis of me/cfs is by exclusion of other diseases including m.s.  I had MRI brain scan and EMG muscles tests, I know other have had lumbar puncture.   The wait to see a neurologist NHS was so long that I went privately and was admitted to hospital within a week as an NHS patient due to severity of symptoms.
