SOOO SCARED of MS!

[randi1]

Hi i'm new here, about three months ago i found a lump under my arm, the doctors told me it's a cyst and then i got one under my other arm, again they said it was a cyst. Soon after i started being breathless and thought i had heart disease, that went away, then i got a pain in my left arm which i still have and have had for weeks, i then got headaches and eye pain, dizziness and eye pressure and thought i had a brain tumour. the doctor has done blood tests and eye pressure, reflex tests etc. all fine but now i feel numbness in one side of my face, it isn't numb when i touch it but it just feels numb, i still have arm pain and i am so scared i have MS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! please help me!! xxxx

Hi Randi,

A big warm welcome to you. I think you have anxiety. The symptoms you mention are common and we all get them regular. If your doctor has done tests to rule out anything else I'd try not to worry. We are all here for each other so you need never feel alone.

Take Care

Hi Randi and welcome to the forum. I have two relatives that have MS and it doesn't sound to me like you have it, my Uncle who has recently been diagnosed finds it hard to walk he drags his legs where the nerves in his brain aren't quite connecting, MS stands for multiple scarring on the brain, my Auntie has fits sometimes, yes she does have eye problems with it but not the kind you are describing. They will both end up in a wheel chair. If the dr has done the checks then I'm sure you are clear, you prob just have our gremlin friend anxiety.

Take care,

Polly
