Hello, I'm new to the board and at this point am very scared. You see, I have just been diagnosed with Raynaud's Phenomenon and was also diagnosed with Fibromyalgia several years ago by two doctors. Since the Raynaud's, I have been experiencing some rather unusual symptoms such as persistant memory problems (forgetfulness), tremors (my left arm shakes continuously along with my head at times, and if I get the least bit upset, my entire body shakes), I have spells of my heart racing, my arms and my legs tingle, I lose my balance constantly and actually fell the other morning, I'm unusually hoarse, I suddenly developed acid reflux and my muscles and joints ache like crazy. Sometimes my arms and legs feel as though they are going to give way on my, they are so weak. Sometimes, I even feel as though something is crawling on skin and the vision in my right eye is always blurred. Could this be the start of MS? Anyway, my family doctor is sending me to a rheumatologist next month, however, I feel like I should be seeing a neurologist instead. Any advise anyone out there could give would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I can tell you this much . Except for the ,upset-body shakes, heart racing ,and being horse . I have had all the symptoms you speak of and I have M.S..I do get tremors (body shakes) , but not from being upset, I never know when the are going to hit me .On the blurred vision , you should be checked for Optic Neuritus . They could treat it with Solumedral . If I can help in any way , please fill free to email me at hotworth@aol.com . Best of luck to you . Herb
