Hi,
I have many symptoms of MS but yesterday someone said they think it sounds like Fibromyalgia.
So far I have gone to have Xrays for my sore and stiff joints (nothing noted in xrays) and I have seen an allergist for the crawlies and weird sensations I experience on my skin. I have allergies to Dust...
Okay so nothing major but still symptoms and still more testing now.
Lately I have had major anxitiey from all angles and it is due to stress. I wonder if any of you have firsts thought Fibro. then it was really MS?
Thanks for any insight I feel like I'm getting depressed over everything and am being made to feel like all I am doing is complaining as nothing significant is coming up.
Thanks
LisaB

Lisa,

There are many possiblities of what could be going on.For many of us that have been diagnosed have went through several test and along with these test come different cinerio's.Stress can play a big facture when waiting for a diagnosis.The more you stress the worse the symptoms are going to be.The creepy crawlies you speak of is a symptom of my MS.
Have you seen a neurologist?MS is a long process with several test.MRI with contrast of brain and spine.Many Neuro's still use the lumbar puncture.Blood test to rule out other diseases.You're going to here a lot of possible illnesses until they find out the right one.Stay positive.
