Hi Msgolden3222.

Multiple Sclerosis is a disease of the Central Nervous System. Multiple Sclerosis is a demyelinating disease and has a diagnostic criteria (The Revised McDonald Criteria).

Having symptoms that might be MS type symptoms doesn't mean it is due to MS. Many conditions have similar symptoms as those seen in MS. The diagnostic criteria requires all other possible causes for a person's symptoms must be ruled in/out and other (positive) testing indicating the possibility of MS.

Below are two links which give information about diagnosing MS and some of the other conditions that can have symptoms similar to MS

Diagnosing MS : National Multiple Sclerosis Society

Other Conditions to Rule Out : National Multiple Sclerosis Society

To know if you have MS you would need to go through the diagnostic process.
