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?

The symptoms vary. I already have a diagnosis of fibromyalgia, Rheumatoid/inflammatory arthritis, degenerative spine (already had one decompression op & a spacer put in. Have spinal stenosis. I have gradually worked my way through the normal DMARDS for RA but none of the biologics. I'm relying now mainly on IM Depo-Medrone, Amitriptyline & Morphine. H

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. My handwriting has deteriorated (thank God for my phone), I can't cope with crowds, loud noises and the list goes on ....

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
