    so many questions

    Hi I have not been diagnosed with MS and am trying not to jump to conclusions but I am very scared. I am 26 with 3 youmd kids and 2 weeks ago I suddently got very lethargic, sleeping 14 hours at a time Nx still needed more. Started takin iron thinkin maybe I was anemic but it did not help any. They 5 days ago I started havin cramps in the back of my legs right above the bend of my knee. Then it went down my calfs a d then my feet became numb and painfully tingly. I cant hardly text because I keep hitting the wrong buttons and last night my rign finger on my left hand became very ridgid for a couple seconds. My left eye has had a "cloudy film" over it off and on and is very dry. I do not have Insurance but my legs hurt so bad yesterday I went to the er. They did blood tests and said everything was perfect but they were "very concerned" about the leg symptoms and I needed to see a dr. They offered a script for prednisone but I declined not wanting to take .edicine when I am not posative what is causing the symptoms. But I believe it is ms. I know there are other conditions that could cause similar symptoms but with mine and also havin a strong family history of ms I still believe thats what I have. Any thoughts on what I am feeling are these the symptoms one suffers with? Thanks so much for any input

    hi, the prednisone might make you feel better while you focus on getting some answers. Did you tell the er drs all the symptoms you are having? Doing a blood test isn't going to tell them anything if it is ms. Did they give you a name of a dr to go to? I wish you the best! Please keep us posted!

      Hi, sorry you are feeling so poorly. If you have a regular dr. you should at least go see him or her. What you described could be so many things or just a virus but the E.R. did a crappy job. You should not take the chance, the eye thing by its self could be serious. GO FOR YOUR KIDS IF NOT FOR YOURSELF! Sorry about shouting at you but I am just worried for you. Please let us know what happens.
      PEACE
