Multiple sclerosis?

[Louisamith]

I've been trying to get over my fear of MS and convince myself it's just anxiety but I'm having a really hard time.

My symptoms of numb patches on feet, being spaced out constantly, weak feelings in hot weather and hot baths, limbs falling asleep easily and trouble swallowing, have not gone away and it's starting to scare me.

I need some reassurance that's it's just health anxiety and not the first stages of MS? I have been to my doctor about tingling in my hands about a year ago and told her that I was scared that I had MS and she referred me to a psychologist. Should I still trust this decision even if it was so long ago ?

I also cannot go to the doctor again because I am going away to uni next year and if my parents think I cannot deal with this without going to the doctor again then I cannot be trusted with living by myself. Please help ?

I have similar symptoms, also twitching muscles in my legs , iam sure it's another anxiety symptom, our brains can play tricks on us , sending you a hug , you're not alone.

I have similar symptoms daily muscle twitches in my legs, arms, butt and chest. Mine only started the last month with my anxiety so I am sure it’s that as I’ve never had it before and it’s funny how it’s come being anxious. The doctors told me just to take ibuprofen when I went as he didn’t see anything wrong and tested my muscle strength and everything felt fine and took bloods, so I felt like I wasted my time going.

Hi I would go back to the doctors and ask for more reassurance. After all if you are old enough to go to university next year you are old enough to take yourself to the doctors without telling your parents about it if you want. Taking charge of your own health is an adult thing to do anyway.

As long as you are legally considered an adult your parents can't decide what you do with your life - only you can. x
