QuestionI my name is Milinda and I am 27 years old. I am starting my journal because I have been noticing many weird changes in my body that are starting to worry me and I find if I go to the doctor about this problem then it would be nice if I had some of the symptoms wrote down and when they happen. These symptoms have happened before this attack but I never recorded it on paper.
Symptoms I have on a daily basis:
My vision is getting really bad
Can't focus and words run together
fatigue
tired
unbalanced
weak
dizzy like room spinning
cant concentrate on one thing anymore like I used to
can't multi-task.
For this episode my symptoms started on Tuesday April 22nd, 2008 and lasted until Thursday April 24, 2008. symptoms included head pain behind the eyes, blurry vision eyes get really cloudy, and the worst was the neck, spine and shoulder pain. This pain would get worse if I would look toward the ground or from side to side. I also have noticed that when I talk to people I have slurred speech. I also have noticed I am very unbalanced and get bruises on one side of my body. And my left leg has given out twice and I fell to the ground. I am just wanting to know does this sound like MS or any other medical condition. should I just go to an emergency room when I have the pain because I don't have a regular doctor cause I just moved here? thanks...
Answerwith all these symptoms you need a doctor, but, you can't pinpoint MS... the symptoms are too vague and broad.... I would look towards other illnesses first, like diabetes, low thyroid, anemia, and if those are negative, then towards the rarer diseases like MS
