MS worry

[lou597]

hi

im convinced i've got ms. Cant seem to shake off the thoughts of having it, i have pratically diagnosed myself with it. Its been going on for a few months. Bladder and bowel problems, depression/mood swings constant fatigue muscles spasms, Having to DRAG left leg when walking (:shrug:)
tingling and numbness throughout body, derealisation.

Im in a right old state, cant stop googling symptoms (i know) arghh. I recently had a simple blood test would that detect ms?

A blood test won't diagnose MS but I am sure you don't have it anyway.

You should make an appointment with GP and if they feel necessary they will refer you to someone - maybe a neurologist.

All the symptoms you descrbe are typical with anxiety though.

Hi i can totally undrerstand how you feel its scary.Been convinced iv got MS for over 12 months now. I am the googling queen,its horrible cycle. Every symptom i experiance says could be MS. Docs say its health anxiety. You will get there, dont google xx

It was googling ms that brought me to this site today. I was convinced I had it until I read posts on here. I reckon it's more like health anxiety instead now.
