I'm worried
Recently I've been experiencing a lot of the symptoms of MS. I've been having severe headaches for several months, then started losing my balance. I get dizzy, and even though I just recently bought new glasses, I'm now having trouble seeing well enough to read. Things get blurry. My legs are now very weak and often numb. I can barely feel anything and have to sit down a lot. I fall asleep constantly. I constantly forget things, I drop things because my hands go numb. My doctor mentioned ordering some imaging, but my appointment with him isn't until next month. I want to try moving it up if possible.
Could I have MS?
Thanks in advance.
@arica_therrien All of what you described suggests MS as one possibility but, there are other things it could be also. An MRI Scan will give your Doctor a better idea of what's going on with you. You could ask for it to be rescheduled, you dont ask, you dont get, as they say. All the best.
Hi @arica_therrien. As said above, your symptoms can also be attributed to other conditions, so try not to worry too much. However, is your appointment next month to see the doctor, or to have the imaging done? What you don't want is a delay on the MRI so yes, don't worry about being too pushy and keep pestering. Incidentally, I looked at your profile and have just researched Owosso, which I'd never heard of, so that's my piece of learning for today! :-)
