Possibility of MS?

Has anyone ever experienced a feeling that’s almost like when your clothes like a belt or jeans are too tight and like your legs tingle, or like they fell asleep and are regaining feeling? Sometimes my legs feel like that or like they’re tight? Especially after being on them but sometimes just sitting too.

I continuously get these feelings, it’s started within the last year. I honestly didn’t think much of it. I have gained a little weight so thought maybe it could be that. But what raised the red flag was a conversation I had with my doctor that I’ve started to have trouble swallowing sporadically, almost like my brain forgets how to swallow. Well my brain said to swallow and I just can’t get my body to listen.

She ordered a CT scan and is curious if it’s an abnormality there. So I started to do some research and found that oropharyngeal dysphasia is the type of dysphasia that fits best to my personal struggle. It only happens occasionally, and sporadically. In the last four days it’s happened twice. I should also note this only started within the last year.

I’ve also always struggled with headaches, but within the last year they’ve also become more severe and frequent. Sometimes lasting days.

I know no one can diagnose me and obv a doctor can and I shouldn’t jump the gun on anything but I’m giving myself anxiety. 😅😅 but has anyone had any of these symptoms, especially combined, and been diagnosed from that or prior to that with MS?

  1. Hi I wanted to check in on you and see if there is anything new from your doctor? Did you have the CT scan? When is your next appointment? I really hope you can get some answers soon. Jill (Team Member)

    1. Hi! Thanks for checking in! My CT isn’t for a couple weeks unfortunately. Trying not to throw myself into a panic before then. Which is easier said than done.

    2. the waiting is so hard! Try to keep busy if you can. Please keep us posted! Jill (Team Member)
