Waiting for a Diagnosis

Hi I e been getting symptoms for the last 4 months: burning sensations in both feet, crawling sensations in left leg, pins and needles in both hands. I have been referred to a Neurologist but it could be 26 weeks before I get an appointment to see someone never mind a diagnosis. I am terrified it could be MS and I don’t know how I’ll cope with the anxiety and long wait ! I am terrified because my mum has MS (40+yes) and I have watched her journey through this. I don’t want to burden my family with my thoughts so looking for some friendly advice x

Hi! Try not to let it consume you! Diagnosis can take ages (5 years for me but some say thats fast...) so worrying about it will only make you poorly. Good luck and take care!

Thank you for taking time to reply. 5 years oh my word ! I know worrying won’t make it better only worse but I’m finding it so hard to focus and find the joy in anything
