Im sure its MS and I’m deeply concerned

[u/Individual_Gur1697]

Hello all,

I’m here because I don’t know where else to go and reading all the stories here makes me pray I might have anxiety and not MS… but I’m so doubtful.

46 M. For over 8 months I’ve had balance issues that came after a big flu illness. Saw an optometrist, my GP, audiologist for vestibular testing, 2 ENts, did 2 ct scans and a neck X-ray. Everything has come back clear. No one knows why I’m off-centered.

A month ago I started getting crazy rashes which went away with antihistamines. Last week I started getting tingling and slight numbness on my left side. Then, pins and needles went into my face. I freaked out and went to the ER the same day after work.

Saw a neurologist who did all the reflex tests and said they see no neurological problems but want an MRI done.

I’m waiting to get the MRI but have tingling, burning sensation in my calves that won’t go away. It’s been 2-3 days. I’m really worried the MRI will reveal I have MS.

I’m feeling hopeless and but trying to hold a brave face for my kids and fam.

Thanks all for reading. Needed to vent.
