Default Symptoms coming back

Hi,
I haven't been 'in' here for over a year.
I don't have MS, but have similar Sx's that were at their worst peak about 18months ago, that lasted for just over a year all up.
I saw an MS specialist, and had 2 clear MRI's & a clear VER.

The sx's subsided, along with the major stresses in my life.

However, I do notice that they come back mildly when I'm very tired and stressed.

I was told by a natural therapist it was Adrenal Fatigue/Chronic fatigue, but nothing really proven, but the sx's seem to fit in with this dx as well.

In my ongoing quest for answers, I am also looking into food intolerances. I suffer from IBS sx's and have booked in for hydrogen breath testing next month.

So, why am I here?
This week was more stressful than usual, and I have an upper respiratory virus (again). So i'm tired, and run down.
My sx of heavy left leg and arm returned for about 2 days along with numb right lower arm (when in bed). I haven't had the numb arm sx for AGES. Also, my right eye was a little sore when I moved it, and a litle blurry. But these eye sx only lasted about half a day. (Along with the virus I've had sinusitis.)
My leg and arm feels ok today, but there's been some weird tingling patches on my left side face that i have't had for ages as well.

After all my rambling, I guess I'm a little tiny bit concerned because this time my eye was involved. but could it be the sinusitis too?

I know none of you are Dr's, but I guess in the back of my mind I still worry about MS, and lesions perhaps not showing up 2 years ago?
My aunt has MS, and my sister has similar sx's and has brain lesions, but nothing has been diagnosed. (I don't think the leions are in 'typical ' MS locations, so the Dr's don't know what she has).

Any opinions would be appreciated.
Thanks.
