Hey guys, I can't believe I got myself to write this but-
After a weird collection of random syns over two years, I believe that I should get tested for MS... and I was wondering if there's a way to bypass the family doctor and move the process along faster...so to speak...or since you guys been through this what shortcuts in the process can be made? I know that you can't rush the process from what I read from your posts on here, but I'm just scared about what I think is the reality.
I'm a 27 y/o male and starting like two years ago (as far as i can remember on and off) random synthoms have showed up and gone away. This morning and last month I've been having issues with heat. This morning my shower felt like 100+ degrees, and the water was cold. I couldn't even feel the temperature clearly...like i could, but I couldn't. The first time it happened i was in a rush to get to work and couldn't process it. Today I stayed in the shower for a half hour moving the faucet to all different degrees, hoping it would feel colder. I could sleep for 12 hours and wake up feeling like I only slept for 4. I've been having ongoing periods of my limbs getting numb, and stiff joints when I wake up. Some mornings, and while I sleep, there's a disconnected feeling as if I turned off the connection from my brain to my body. When I have beers with the guys I could barely drink two, and my tolerance keeps getting lower, and my body just wants me to go to sleep asap. What gets me is that I'm pretty active, I run and lift at the gym 4-5 times a week. I'm in better shape than I was before, but I feel like I'm getting weaker energy wise. There was a day at the gym where I felt what felt like a major muscle spasm that felt like a major disconnection to my legs and they went numb. I've been telling myself that this has all been just my body being sore, and rebuilding itself like normal, but now at this point, I admit there's something wrong. Like I had mono senior year of College and this almost feels like I never shook it, or that majority of the synthoms mirror it.
I would be fine with the diagnosis, but am nervous with the process. If that makes any sense. If I do have it, I'll deal with it, but I don't want to put the emotional burden on my parents who are older. So I just ...I dunno what to do. These group of synthoms are all so random and only point to MS, from what I have gathered. So thanks for reading my rambling guys.
