I know this gets asked a lot, but I am concerned I may be developing or have developed MS.
I have, over the past four years, experienced increasing symptoms.
-Increasingly common episodes of blurry/double vision, coupled often with a electric jolt feeling, as well as spots in my eyes.
-severe fatigue, even when I wake up
-headaches
-severe back pain
-tingling in legs, arms, back
-cold sensation in my back
-increasing loss in balance and coordination
-stiffness in legs
-loss of strength
I may be just being paranoid, but I'm concerned about this. This year I've had episodes of increased systems at least three times, each lasting a few weeks to over a month. Back X-Rays were normal besides signs of VERY early arthritis, nothing near what would cause the pain I experience. Doctor dismissed my concerns and gave me numbing patches and said to try phys. therapy, which I can't afford.
Should I pursue an MRI? Or should I not be concerned?
