I have been suffering with what has been described as "anxiety" for about 18 months, with symptoms such as:
- a feeling of weakness on my left side (arm & leg) even though it is not ACTUALLY weak
- sore eyes
- tiredness
- various skin sensations in both legs (burning/tingling/buzzing)
- right side of face feels numb/odd - mainly cheek but gets worse when I am self-checking or focusing on it.
- NOW my right arm/hand/wrist has started feeling numb/strange/odd a few days ago.
I saw a GP and a neurologist about a year ago who have told me it is anxiety although I haven't had an MRI. A retired neurologist on here told me my symptoms were not linked to any neurological disease, and after a few months of feeling slightly better I thought I was making good progress.
However, I am starting to question all of these strange sensations again and am worried that it is MS.
I would appreciate any words of reassurance or opinions as I feel like I am not in a great place again.
Thank you all
