MS fear??? :(((((

I read through the MS threads and all here and it has been immensely helpful.

However I was stumbling upon some wiki pages and read about the "Cremasteric Reflex" which is an involuntary reflex in males. - can find it on wiki or via google search.
Absence of this reflex is suggestive of MS, MND, Parkinson's.

I tried eliciting the reflex on myself to no avail, now I'm freaking out cause I'm only 21?!!!

I'm trying to rationalise this myself how everyone is different and that maybe I didn't elicit the reflex properly since it's probably unreliable to test reflexes on youself?

Any help/comments would be appreciated!!

Try to relax - with something like MS, I'm pretty sure the symptoms would be very obvious. I've known several people with the condition and their symptoms were severe, like lack of coordination, problems with their vision. As you rightly said, you can't test reflexes on yourself particularly. And at 21 you need to be enjoying your life.
