    Hi,

    I'm sorry to hear about your ms worries.

    I understand your feelings perfectly, I was diagnosed with ms about this time last year, yes it is wise to check this out with your doctor really so he may be able to reduce your fears at least a bit, there could be many reasons for what you are experiencing. Stress can bring on a lot of weired symptoms too, tingling in your body numbness etc, fatigue could also be down to hormone levels, fatigue syndrome, thyroid problems? Dizzines coul be related to ear proclems.

    I have all sorts of funny weired symptoms, but I discovered they were not down to ms but the menopause.

    I had my ms confirmed by lumbar punture where they take fluid from your spine, if your doctor sends you for tests I believe there is a new one available where the diagnosis can be made by an eye machine which looks at your retanas. Very simple and pain free.

    My first experience with ms was when my right arm and leg wouldn't work properly, but all went back to normal after a few days, and my Nuro consultant said that 20% of people never get another one, everyone is different.

    I hope this reduces your fears a bit. Let me know how you get on.

    if you are still worrying about these symptoms, when seeing you gp make sure you ask for a consultants appointment. You could also speak to the local support office of the MS Society. Look on the West herts MS Society, website if you need someone to talk to. I believe just talking to someone who has MS can help and put your mind at rest. I do hope this helps.

    Dear, i can understand your situation. What you need to do is consult a health professional or a neuro asap so to get a clear idea of your situation. This would help you to analyze your condition in a much proper manner. Treating a problem beforehand is much better than to take it to a severe level and then rush for treatment.Hope you get better soon dear!

    Well-wisher,
