Is MS a possible explination

Hey everyone! Sorry this might be a long post but I will try to keep it as short as possible.

I have been suffering from u explained symptoms for almost 4 years now with very little help from doctors. It all started with constant dizziness and fuzzy vision back in late 2017. I saw my doctor and she sent me for a MRI of my brain and it was unremarkable.

The dizziness, visual issues and brain fog would come and go all of 2018. Then april 2019 it came back with a vengeance along with bad neck pain and headaches that were nearly everyday. Not long after that i started getting full body tremors and noticed when working out my abs they started to jerk and shake even with the lightest of exercise which was extremely abnormal as I worked out all the time. I continued to see my doctor who just kept saying it was stress and dismissed me. I then started developing left side facial numbness and tingling. It feels almost like a buzzing or sometimes like something is crawling on my face. In early 2020 I finally saw a neurologist who was extremely dismissive and spent maybe 20 minutes with me. He looked at the MRI and said you are fine it's probably just anxiety. As 2020 continued the tremors continued along with dizziness and facial numbness. My legs also began to feel shaky when going up and down stairs or ladders. They are still strong just unstable if that makes sense. I slowly began to notice too that I get quivering and twitching in my legs, abdominals and left shoulder. My speech at times feels like I have marbles in my mouth and my mouth and facial muscles will twitch when smiling it frowning.

Doctors still keep being dismissive (I live in Canada) I have had 4 different GPs now over the few years and that ine crappy neurologist. I recently had a Cat Scan of my head and neck which again show nothing. They just keep giving me medications to try that do not work at all. I also started having sexual dysfunction too about a year ago despite having great testosterone levels. I still have desire but function has been very poor.

Does this sound like a possibility of MS ? I know ALS does not start like this at all nor does parkinsons but MS from what I have saw can be different for so many. My step mom has it as does a close family friend and they both Express concerns of it but doctors just say no you are young and don't fail our neurological test.
