I have not been diagnosed with MS yet. But my Doctor is leaning in that direction. My Sister has MS, and I have many symptoms of the disease.
I had a brain scan 2 days ago and the results still are not back...
I Have Fibromyalgia and also Herniated discs in my neck,C5-C6.
My symptoms now are....
1. Cold feet
2. tingling in Arms & Legs
3. Migraines
4. Cannot sleep well
5. Pain in neck & Shoulders
6. Fatigue
Also I have ADHD...Taking 20mg adderall XR & 10mg Barr brand generic adderall.
Anyone want to make comments on my condition...What do you think Is my health problem?
Is MS Hereditary?!
I'm Frustrated and scared.....My Doctors don't seem to feel the need to get answers swiftly.
Thanks for any and all feedback.....

Gretall,
There are siblings that have MS and a parent and child.Your symptoms could be neurological or related to the herniated disk and fibro combination.
MS is diagnosed on certain test as the MRI and the exclusion of other dieases.This is not a diagnosis that is acheived over night.It takes time to get the MRI reports back to the neuro.Try not to stress out.For some it took months to years for an accurate diagnosis.Its very normal to be scared.

My mom has Lupus and your symptoms sound like hers :confused: have your been tested for Lupus? I get these MS Hugs and I was describing it to my mother and she says she gets those too, she has alot of pain all over her body, she also has Fibromyalgia.
I think any disease of the immune system, you will have a host of symptoms that mimic other diseases, my neuro said that it is common or should I say not rare for one person in a family to have an auto immune disease and another member gets one too.
It's easy to say don't stress. but the stress is probably making you feel crummier, do research on auto immune diseases and MS, and Lupus and become knowledgeable that way you won't be so scared.
Let us know what happens
