Managing Multiple Sclerosis

Archive for October, 2009

Hi guys! I’m hoping someone here can give me some advice or slap me on the head…

I’m a 23 year old female. For the past 6 years, I’ve been experiencing muscle twitches all over my body. They’re kind of like the twitches you get in your eyelid when you’re stressed out. Well, I get them almost every day and they usually happen more often when I’m stressed out. I’ve seen 2 doctors for this and they both said it was because I am stressed and anxious. They said it was otherwise benign since I’m not experiencing any other symptoms.

Well, a week ago, I started to experience "another symptom." The bottom of my left foot is buzzing. For a couple of days, it would buzz occasionally. However, a few days ago, it began to buzz more. I’m terrified!!!!!!!!!! I would like to note that I’ve been very anxious and stressed out the past week. But I am POSITIVE in my mind that I have MS. Absolutely POSITIVE and I’m freaking out. I don’t know what to do. Everyone tells me to calm down but it’s so much easier said than done! Ugh I just don’t know what to do! I’m so scared.

Any advice will be appreciated!!
