Hi there, I wish to get more opinions before I see a neurologist. I have visited 4 doctors and can't tell me what I have. I am a latin young lady im 30 years old. I also Started suffering from anxiety . Then I started feeling a weak right leg then pain on the neck  lately on the right side of face. It feels like pressure on my face and basically goes From head to toe sometimes I need to rest as my hip and knee feels so much pain! Last dr said that might be multiple sclerosis but of course she is a go and cannot diagnosed it. I don't eat meat I try to be as healthy as posible been taking spirulina and eating lots o fiber. I can't imagine me with MS but I would love to hear similar experiences! Thanks in advance.   P.d. I also feel tingling and numbness in all the body.

    Why haven't you been referred to a nuerologist yet ?  Get your doctor to refer you, ASAP so that you can have all the tests which can rule out MS.  There are other conditions that can cause similar symptoms that you have been getting.  Generally you neuroglosit will get you do have special blood test, MRI and even a lumbar puncture which will rule out diseases like:

    Lymes Disease

    syphillis

    HIV

    Lupus

    Hughes Syndrome

    If you are suffering from MS then I would recommend that you go on a very high dosage of vitamin D  2000 to 6000 iu's per day.  This has kept my MS at bay as I have not been able to take medication for it because of bad side effects.  I am Portuguese (Madeira) but have lived here for over 30 years and know that not having enough sun initially cause my MS.  I am sure of it.

    Let me know how you get on.

    Hi Jaime thanks for Your answer. I never thought it was going to be MS first visit to the dr. Said to be a nerve then I went back after three weeks as pain continue to bother me and I requested an ultrasound. Dr. Was doubting that there was something wrong and did the test and found nothing on my main organs. Then I went to the local clinic and dr. Said I needed Ann specialist as we could not prescribe more pulls so I had to see a neurologist. Waiting list is too long so I had to call a private clinic and I have to wait a couple of weeks. I am a Latin  woman I always got sun in my life I live on an island close to Italy. I hope It is just a pinched nerve.

    Have you had an MRI of your brain ?  This will detect lessions on your brain which could indicate MS.  But like I have mentioned, the other diseases can cause the same symptoms if they inturn attack your nervous system.  I had symptoms like you are having before I was diagnosed with MS.  Your symptoms will depend on the location of the brain or spinal cord that is being attacked by the immune system.
