DO I HAVE MS

Posted , 1 user is following.

I have had several falls in recent months. I have no body strength and my wife has to help me shower dress and sometimes help me get up from a chair. I can now only walk short distances when I go out for my daily walk and feel very tired and weak all the time. When alone if I fall I stay on the ground because my body has no strength to get up

I have had cardio tests at the hospital and today I spoke to a Cardiologist who says my symptoms are not cardio and almost

certainly neurological. I have high blood pressure but he does

not want to adjust medication until I have been assessed by a

Neurologist.

I have been waiting since January for an appointment and

now my June appointment has been postponed until July.

I have been put on the list for a cancellation.

Has anyone had similar symptoms?

If not MS what else could it be?

Any advice welcome as I am very anxious awaiting the neurology

appointment

Thanks

Steve
