possible MS?

I haven't been to the doctors yet,but everything I read about symptoms I seem to have alot of them. Fatigue, left arm and hand going numb. Spine always hurts, dizziness, constantly having headaches. Depression, muscle spasms. I can keep going but ill keep it short. Could it possibly be MS?

  1. Only a qualified neurologist having performed MRI and other testing used to diagnose MS, can properly answer this question, sorry. Laymen can only say, maybe or maybe not. The brain and spinal cord are sort of the body's information super highway, that means that almost anything can be a symptom of MS, or a symptom of a LOT of other things. There are large number of MS mimics (many conditions can present like MS without being MS, which is why it is so important to see an expert). The experts have diagnostic criteria in place that is specifically used for diagnosing MS or other conditions, plus tests to rule out mimics.


    I hope you're able to see a doctor and/or neurologist soon! Keep self-advocating for good healthcare. Best of luck! 🍀🤞
