symptom questions

 Hi, I was wondering if any of you when you say your symptoms come and go do you mean for a while?  I have had unbalanced feel like I am going to fall over than it goes away sometimes for a week than it is back other times for a few hours than it is back.
I also have had sever leg pain almost like my muscles are so tight it hurts to walk  this is relieved at times with rest but with in a hour it is back sometimes it doesn't go away legs feel very weak.  My arms are doing the same thing now I cant hardly type for the pain up my arms.  I was just wondering when it is stated that symptoms come and go are any of you relieved by rest and how long in between attacks do you not have symptoms.  I have had 1 MRI of brain and spine they said it was clear except on spine he said I had a spur and the area was deteriorating wouldn't explain any more than that and is sending me on to different neurologist.  I have had this reappearing tightening between my shoulder blades and it hurts so bad that I can hardly breath.  MY sister in-law said I should go to a chiropractor that I must have things out of place I do not feel that is the answer but all of my test so far are coming out fine but for almost 6 months I have had many different symptoms and the back has been for a year but it goes away for a month or 2 and than it is back sometimes for hours I also have had on and off diarrhea than constipation for a year.  I am to the point now my vertigo/unbalanced I do not feel like I can drive when I do I feel like I am a drunk driver so I dont any more.
Please help any information would be very helpful.

Thank you for listening to me

 

By all means see as many doctors as it takes to get some help and some answers......just remember that the answer may not be MS.

rm, there are several types of MS.  There is a rare form that is called malignant.  It is very progressive and typically does not respond to treatment.  It is slightly more common to have progressive MS if you are diagnosed later in life (after 40).  It does not mean that everyone diagnosed after the age of 40 has this type of MS however.  I was diagnosed at 43 and I have had quite slow progression so far (knock on wood). 

Ok you have some serious health anxiety.  Please know that severe anxiety can cause real and disturbing symptoms in and of itself!!  You need to get to a doctor now and let that person know what you are experiencing.  Malignant MS is extremely rare!  It progresses very quickly.  There is NO coming and going of symptoms.  You get new symptoms but you keep the old.  I am just about done feeding into this thread.  You need to see a doctor for your anxiety.  Please let them know you are terrified of malignant MS.

I don't mean to sounds unsympathetic.  You are clearly very worried and sick.  Anxiety is a real and potentially debilitating disease!  Go back and re-read some of your posts here.  You repeat questions, you posted twice and couldn't wait for someone to answer.  You are practically hysterical!  I am worried for you!  Do you have a doctor you can talk to about these anxieties?  You may have other health issues but you might just need to treat the anxiety for you to feel better.

Good luck to you as well. 

No worries.  I could be more patient.  My husband has generalized anxiety.  I have seen him suffer so much from this.  I do understand that it is an awful thing to live with.  I am sorry I came off a bit short with you.  I do want you to feel better.  Whatever your health issues turn out to be, you are welcome to post here. 

Remember that I am not a doctor, but I don't think you have MS nor malignant MS.  I think you have something going on and I do hope you get some answers and treatment real soon.
