Hello Mystery101 and welcome to MSWorld.

Please tell me if this sounds like MS

Unfortunately, there is no way to know if you have MS simply due to symptoms. There are many conditions, vitamin/mineral deficiencies, some medications, and mental health issues that mimic the symptoms of MS...no symptom is exclusive to this disease.

Blood tests and urine tests are to diagnose other conditions. There is no blood/urine test that indicates Multiple Sclerosis.

Your B-12 deficiency should be treated as this can cause symptoms similar to MS. Chest pain should be evaluated by a Cardiologist. Your blurry vision should be evaluated by an Ophthalmologist.

inside fever without high temperatures. Heat intolerance, excessive sweating anytime,

If you are a female you might make an appointment with your gyn to check your hormone levels.

We get a lot of questions from people like yourself looking to help us diagnose you without being qualified ourselves.

What this site can help you with is navigating through the procedures and dealing with stubborn providers. There is no rush to get a diagnosis unless your legs collapse under you.

But, while you are moving towards a dx, might as well take it slow. Go to the Limbo Landers section of the site. You will find a lot of company and probably get better advice than we can give you.

Look at it this way. You don’t have MS...YET. Enjoy every moment because the day the hammer
bangs out the verdict, there is no turning back.

Welcome to MS World. I am sorry for your symptoms, your current health challenges and your need to seek answers. I wish I could wave a magic wand and it could go away.

Regarding your question (Does it sound like MS), my neuro often said, "There are lots of other illnesses that mimic MS." Those illnesses will need to first be ruled out, and you will also need to meet the criteria for an MS diagnosis before you can be diagnosed.

Yes; MS can be a mystery and a puzzle. It took almost 2 years for me to get diagnosed. For some, the path is shorter. For others, it's longer. Because my symptoms were serious and horrific, I even went to Mayo Clinic in Rochester for 2 weeks and had many, many tests and many specialists look at me. They, also, could not diagnose me. They didn't rule out MS, but gave me a different "probable" diagnosis. I had multiple flares, ER visits and hospitalizations during those first years. In addition to lots of other tests (both locally and at Mayo), I had 7 MRI's prior to being diagnosed. It was not until all of these things had transpired and my neuro had more data to look at, including an MRI that began to "look more like MS" that I was given an MS diagnosis.

I can't answer your question. I am simply not qualified. Your symptoms might be MS. They might not be.

Go have an MRI. I don’t know; your doctor doesn’t know; no one here knows. Good luck.
