Hi I am 26 years old have a 3 year old son. Ms is not in my family that I know of. I am Hispanic I had a head injury when I was about 7 years old. I have always had cramps in my cabs and frequent spasms all over my body but never thought any anything of it. Recently I started a severe depression and had to leave my job because of too much anxiety and depression. I have began exercising but not too much and began to notice that  my legs feel very heavy and tingly from my knees down. My arms are the same way from my elbows down. I also lost my sex drive for a couple of months and have had constant utis for years. I am laying down and my arms and legs feel cold and numb. I am freaking out could I possibly have MS. I also have had lost of appetite.

    Please do not sit there worrying, talk to your mum or someone that you know, or better still make an appointment to see your doctor.

    To stay alone worrying is the worst thing you can do

    Some symptoms actually are in the range of MS , but other deseases probably would show similar symptoms, so I would suggest you to take some tests included a complete neurological examination.

    Moreover, you should stay away from refined sugar because it is proven that it worsen cramps, spasms, depression and sensory issues. This is an action you could take right away, even before tests' results. (But don't you expect that allopathic physician tell you something about relation between food and illnesses...).

    I had an MRI today the neurologist said no lesions on the brain everything looked normal. He said he doubts I have ms. He gave me an anti depression medication and said that my symptoms are more than likely related to stress. Hod willing he is right we will see.

      This is a very good news!

      Was MRI really complete, including your whole spinal cord?

      I ask you because at first  I had my brain clean at  but there were demielination spots in my spine and they continued to say I was depressed....this story went forward years before the right diagnosis. In these cases time is matter though.

      Antidepressants have a lot of side effects as well. There are some natural compounds such as Ipericus and Hawthorn that could help you, avoiding those possible bad reactions. Take always your information from a qualified physician or a good natural practitioner.

      I wish all the best.

      Thank you Federico for your warm wishes smile They actually did not do the spinal cord. I am hoping and praying these symptoms go away but if in two months they don't I will definitely get an MRI of the spine. Could it be that the brain is clear And the problem appears in the spine?

      No problem.

      Yes, it could be as it happened to me years ago: first brain MRI clear, second (after my insistence in order to get the complete test) : lesions in spinal cord. Again no lesions in the brain.

      Don' t be too worried, as in any case you have received a good news, but It's better you have the second test as confirmation.
