I am trying to decide if I want to confront my DR about being tested for MS. I am not sure if these symptoms are just flukes, or if they could be something else. Here they are:
Fatigue- Not bad. I have just always worn out easily.
Esophogeal Spasms- Center chest. Usually after eating or when really hungry
Numbness- I have a wierd "numbness"..usually on the left side under my stomach and at the base of my spine right above my tailbone.
Pain in head..notmally on theleft side but sometimes on the right.
About 5 years ago I lost perifial vision in my right eye for about 3 hours. It was right after I put my contacts in and walked outside in the extreme cold, so I blew it off as a fluke..again. This was the only time this has happened.
I have aches and pains all the time. I seem to go through spirts when I just can't seem to shake the fatigue and want to lay around ALL day!
My legs ache, more at night when I am ready to go to sleep. I work out a lot so I chalked ut up to that.
Sometimes I get a tight sqeezing feeling around my chest like someone is sitting on it. I have been diagnosed with Anxiety and Panic Disorder, so I assumed that it was annxiety as it only really happens when I am anxious about something.
Joint pain. Not only 1 joint but all over my body. I seem to have "flare ups".
Maybe I am dreaming...but could thie be MS? Are these symptoms you guys with MS have had?
I just need some guidance.
Thanks!

My ancestory? Do you mean if anyone else in my family has MS? If so, then no. No one has ever had it in my family.
