I am 44yo and have honestly had symtoms for about 20 yrs off and on. 20 yrs ago I had a neuro eval and complete work up including spinal tap, EEG,MRI, blood work. Everything was either normal or inconclusive and I was told that I could still have MS so would watch symptoms and continue follow ups. Main symptoms then were pin and needle feeling in my face and arms, IBS and my headaches. The neuro moved away and I did not follow up with another.
I have intermittently had symptoms for years. Some I did not even relate to possibly being MS until I began researching. Over the past year symptoms have become more prominent and bothersome. I have frequent pin and needles feeling in arms and legs and face, muscle spasms, loss of balance/clumsiness, dizziness, heat intolerance, burning in legs, my extremities occasionally feel heavy, I have urinary incontinence/urgency, difficulty concentrating /memory issues, headaches. Dx with IBS 20 years ago. I noticed a feeling of having something binding around my upper abdomen/lower chest and started researching and realized that was a sx of MS as were many other things I had been experiencing.
I have an appointment with a new neurologist in a couple weeks. I have yet to have a MRI or anything else done recently. Just looking for some input as to whether this sounds like MS or something else and if anyone has similar experiences.
