This doesn't really shout out as MS to me, you would most likely have had quite a definitive relapse being a male (I'm 32/M had MS since I was 17 but doing fine) however the disease can be random.

The best way to tell is shoot up some nuclear reactive dye and get an MRI scan done =)

Remember a 'Relapse' is defined as a symptom which occurs for more than 48 hours, without any remission. It can get worse. To be diagnosed, you need two documented attacks, these can be simply documented verbally with an MRI scan to back up the verbal talk.

This will be a very important part of your diagnosis phase as it basically relies on you telling them about the relapses, along with having scans to prove it. Bam.
