Worried & Confused! 🤦🏼‍♀️

I have, amongst other things, been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia for some time. I don't want this to go on but at the moment I'm having various tests (CT scan on brain being the latest) which leads me to believe they're testing for Multiple Sclerosis. Has anybody on her been given a diagnosis of MS after being told for years it was something else?

Recently I've had strange sensations of pins & needles mainly in my right leg, now at the base of my neck and across my shoulders. My balance & co-ordination are all over the place.

I'm sorry because I know this is all everyday stuff for most of the people on here. I was just interested if anyone on this forum ended up being diagnosed with MS? ToD xx
