Hi all
I wanted to post about my story as it may help others.
Last year I thought I had ms. I has symptoms of pins and needles., dizziness, vertigo, bladder problems. I went to gp , she never examined me but did vitamin tests then off to a neurologist. PANICK!
I was obsessed with ms, I do not know how the people around me coped. All I did was obsessively look up ms. I went to a n e twice, got told could be all sorts of horrid things ms, transverse myelitis or ANXIETY. I overlooked that one.
I ended up seeing the neuro, who referred me for mri and guess what no ms!!!!!!I was put through 5 months of hell. I got better from these symptoms.
Anxiety can cause real symptoms, it really can mimic ms symptoms. Of course there is always a chance you do have it, but please don't assume. From my research and talk with the experts ms usually produces one or more symptoms at a time, not a whole host liked I suffered! People with ms often don't know they have it, they have a symptom it clears up, then the next etc.
Anyway hope this helps anyone worrying about ms! Take care all.
