Hello,
I hope you have found some comfort in what Sally has said. She is right, it is going to be ok. I was just diagnosed in December of 2012. I can relate to some of the strange symptoms that you have mentioned. I also have had the strange hip pain and tightness. Same thing, tried to stretch but didn't help, I run practice yoga and cycle so it was frustrating that it didn't go away!

See a neurologist. It will get you answers and back on track. Hang in there! You can do it!
