Possible Ms

Anyone with ms around to offer support? I visited my gp today after two months of gradually worsening symptoms, it started on my daughter's birthday in November, we had gone to Harry potter studios and had had a long drive to get there ( live in West Yorkshire). So was tired, while looking at one of the displays I suddenly had a strong buzzing sensation in my head and had tunnel vision then my limbs turned to lead, lasted about 5 mins and left me exhausted and shaky, since then I've had buzzing feet, pins and needles down my arms while using them, pain in my right eye, blurred vision, electric shock pains all over and over the last few nights a constant rippllng sensation up and down my entire body with sudden sharp jabbing sensation around my ribs. I had a similar episode around 8 years ago which lasted about ten months and was referred to a rheumatologist who seemed confused as to why I'd been referred to him. GP has referred me to a neurologist but he said it was a classic presentation. Don't know why I'm posting really just needed to write it down to process it.

Hey sorry to hear you are having a tough time. Do you know how long you will have to wait to see the neurologist and get further testing? I know it’s easy to say but try not to google. MS symptoms often present in other conditions so not necessarily that. Hope you don’t have too long to wait till you start to get some answers. Did anyone mention a course of steroids for your current symptoms?
