I am not a doctor or a nurse sorry. I have came across a good website that checks your symptoms for you. That’s how I found out I have tenosynovitis. You may want to just experiment with it. its mayoclinic.com. From the sounds of your symptoms it does sound as though you may have some time of nerve problem. I get some of the symptoms you’ve listed above too and so maybe I’ll do a little research on the net for you of the symptoms of ms and I’ll come back and add some details. Sorry I cannot be much help, and I’m sorry that your past doctors weren’t either.
Definition:
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a potentially debilitating disease in which your body’s immune system eats away at the protective sheath that covers your nerves. This interferes with the communication between your brain and the rest of your body. Ultimately, this may result in deterioration of the nerves themselves, a process that’s not reversible.
Symptoms vary widely, depending on the amount of damage and which particular nerves are affected. People with severe cases of multiple sclerosis may lose the ability to walk or speak. Multiple sclerosis can be difficult to diagnose early in the course of the disease, because symptoms often come and go — sometimes disappearing for months.
Although multiple sclerosis can occur at any age, it most often begins in people between the ages of 20 and 40. Women are more likely to develop multiple sclerosis than are men.
symptoms:
Signs and symptoms of multiple sclerosis vary widely, depending on the location of affected nerve fibers. Multiple sclerosis signs and symptoms may include:
■Numbness or weakness in one or more limbs, which typically occurs on one side of your body at a time or the bottom half of your body
■Partial or complete loss of vision, usually in one eye at a time, often with pain during eye movement (optic neuritis)
■Double vision or blurring of vision
■Tingling or pain in parts of your body
■Electric-shock sensations that occur with certain head movements
■Tremor, lack of coordination or unsteady gait
■Fatigue
■Dizziness
Most people with multiple sclerosis, particularly in the beginning stages of the disease, experience relapses of symptoms, which are followed by periods of complete or partial remission. Signs and symptoms of multiple sclerosis often are triggered or worsened by an increase in body temperature.
Well it could be a allergy and allergies can really mess people up but I can’t think of anything else. Celiac Disease causes gluten allergies and you have quite a few of the signs you should look up allergies and see wether that helps.
Sorry I can’t be more helpful.
hi, i have MS and was diagnosed at 16 years old and im 23 now. as i read over your symptoms it sounds like most of my symptoms. why have not they gave you a MRI? im not a doc but of what i know from personal experience MS is what it sounds like. if they wont give you the proper test you need maybe you should seek another doctor. if you have any questions feel free to email me
