    More convinced than ever before that I have MS

    Okay so this time I KNOW I have MS.

    List of symptoms:

    Tiredness around the middle of the day 2pm and I always end up falling asleep
    Severe itching of the skin - all the time
    Burning skin
    Tingling in my hands and feet
    Always getting ill i.e. a cold/sore throat etc
    Crawling feeling on my scalp
    The feeling of water being thrown over me
    Drips of water on my hands and feets when there is nothing there
    Slight depersonalisation

    Itching is my main symptom along with burning of my skin.
    I am driving myself insane, this is an awful symptom to live with. The only thing I can think that is wrong is MS!
    I dont know how to be taken seriously by those around me and the doctor

    The MS Society have a helpline - the number is on their website. Maybe you would find it helpful to speak to someone there

    Anxiety can cause all of those symptoms. I asked about medication as I was on an AD that made me feel a lot of what you were feeling.
    I have no experience with MS, but I would talk to someone who has more experience on it and see if they can shed any light. Im sure there are people on these forums that could help

    Could I really just ring them up and tell them my symptoms though?
    Considering most of those are MS symptoms they would probably tell me to go and see a doctor/neuro

    I joined a forum called "MS world" the other day and asked the question telling them my symptoms and they basically said that every person is effected differently by MS, so that didnt really help :S

    I've never used the helpline so I don't know exactly what help they can give you, but they will certainly know more than most people on here (you can email as well as phone if you would find that easier. However, the only way you can find out for certain one way or is by seeing neurologist AFAIK, if your doctor deems that necessary. I see you have had concerns about other illnesses in the past and wondered if any of them turned out to have foundation?

    I have just emailed them thank you.

    None of my illnesses in the past have turned out to be as bad as I have thought.
    But the thing that is different this time is that my symptoms have been present for more than 3 weeks and are still present when I am concentrating on something else etc. Whereas before under these circumstances they would disappear.

    Sorry can I ask what you meant by a neurologist AFAIK?
