Could I have MS?

[Iona467]

Hi everyone.

I have been having stabbing nerve pains for many years. It is anywhere in my body but mostly legs, arms and the bottom of my back.

It’s like an electric shock, itchy feeling and something crawling on me, and painful.

From being every so often it’s now every hour for days at a time then U get a bit of respite.

My muscles also do something so I have spasms such as my leg will kick out.

Every day I get numb hands and feet where I can’t feel anything.

I get awful fatigue but have Lupus and don’t know if it is this.

My legs are shaky and give way. I can’t walk properly.

Friends who have family with MS say it is this.

My GP sent me to a rash clinic even though I said it’s internal. She puts it down to Lupus and Fibromyalgia even though it is getting really noticeable now.

I cannot walk far and have to use a wheelchair for any distance.

These problems are now driving me mad and I take heavy pain killers to cope with it, they take hours to take affect but really only make me drowsy.

Can anyone help me out with what it could be?

I live in Redhill, Surrey.

I did finally see two neurologists, one still said it was Fibromyalgia then had to reject her report for the truth and another who said nothing to do with Fibromyalgia but nerves and thought it was from my chronic back pains.

I have had an autoimmune disease most of my life, only recognized about 8 years ago when my body completely broke down.
