So for about a decade now I have been dealing with absolutely awful symptoms. On a daily basis id say that sometimes they disappear for a few months or so then come back stronger. But for a majority of the time they are here 24/7. One of the biggest ones I have is just a wierd feeling like I'm almost not even awake dreamy kinda. I just feel so fatigued. Sore and I have always been relatively skinny. Can't seem to put on weight though. I have double vision when I look at my phone alot. Sometimes some burning pain in my shoulder blades. When I lay down my feet tingle. I always feel like I'm off balence. Sleep alot without feeling refreshed. I just don't know what is going on I've had thoughts it could be ms any help? Oh and btw I also get bouts of some pretty bad depression/anxiety

Hi drewpvm.

Your symptoms could be due to many different things. I would suggest starting with your Primary Care Physician(PCP) for blood work, medical evaluation, and any other testing your PCP deems necessary. If there is something of concern your PCP can refer you to the appropriate specialist.

Multiple Sclerosis has a diagnostic criteria (The Revised McDonald Criteria). Part of that criteria requires all other possible causes for a person's symptoms must be ruled out and positive testing/Neurological evaluation which indicates MS is a possible cause.

I honestly would say that my appetite is the biggest concern has been absent for many years. Have had spinal tap before all looked good on that cbc usually looks good but my whites are elavated more often than not. Seems like I also have fluctuating ast alt levels. They checked me for graves disease that came back negative. Not marfrans syndrome . My vitamin levels always seem to be low when I stop them so I kind of thought chrons disease or a tapeworm or something my symptoms are there like 24/7

Just to let you know;
Bloodwork is used to diagnose many problems/conditions. However, there is no blood work, at this time, that will indicate MS as a possible cause. There has never been any blood test, positive or negative results, that is used for diagnosing MS or that is even helpful in the diagnosis of MS.
