Confused Can someone describe the symptoms they had of Syringomyelia

I have been moved in the direction that the symptoms im experiencing could be MS which i have not had my neuro/rheum appt yet but all my symptoms are very similar. The other day someone mentioned that they had some similar symptoms and they were diagnosed with Syringomyelia and so i was wondering what symptoms you guys have had before diagnoses or if any of my symptoms sound close to what you guys experienced also? My main symptoms are:
tingling/numbness in legs/hands/sometimes face
fatigue
memory loss/concentration/word finding problems
muscle weakness
a few days ago my neck started aching and(within a half hour period) just got so stiff i could barely turn my head left right or down and is still that sore (dont know if thats related)
Raynauds (cold feet and hands that turn purple)
Other then the neck i have no pain, no stomach problems, eye sight problems, etc.
blood work shows i have low RBC, enlarged red blood cells, slightly high ANA, and a high rhematoid factor....so im really scared but any info at all would be really great
