Do I Have MS? - Multiple Sclerosis Message Board

Hi there,
I am 21 years old, and for the past few years I have noticed my health fading.

I have changed my diet, started working out, and still I get worse.

I get very tired, usually happens in the afternoon. No matter how many hours I sleep, I still have very little energy.

There are no major health problems in my family, so I can't figure out why I feel this way.

During the past couple of years I have noticed my speech starting to get worse. I stutter, and I have problems concentrating and distracted very easily.

I also get dizzy spells and feel sick after I eat. I have been going to the bathroom a lot (urinating) and when I go, very little happens. Also my bowels movements have decreased big time.

My doctor's appointment isn't until Febuary 23, and I was wondering if there was anyone out there with some advice, or information.

I am really scared.

Hello there! I realize you must be quite scared not knowing what is wrong with you, but no use borrowing trouble until you see your doctor and go on from there. There could be any number of things going on with you, not necessarely MS. Try and stay positive and hope for the best, okay? Please let us know how your appointment goes. Take care and God bless!

I agree, don't unnecessarily worry about things.....because you don't feel good, it is not great to pile on the stress of worrying about everything. I know that is hard.

Because MS symptoms are like other symptoms of other diseases and conditions, only a doctor can tell you if you have it with the aid of the results of tests.

So, hang in there and post again to let us know what is happening with you!

It sounds like you might have some type of parasite I would get checked out as soon as possible !
