3. Because of the way I walk sometimes (bowlegged and on my toes a bit), I think it's MS, but it only happens when I've been walking alone for a while and am starting to feel nervous (because I'm phobic about being alone in public). So do you guys think this walking thing is just nerves or do symptoms typically get worse (or even appear) with anxiety?

4. Does MS make colds and flus take alot longer to fight off?

5. Do your symptoms all come and go at the same time? In other words , do you feel symptom-free some months, and they all come back together, or is it like one week it's one thing, and the next week it's something different.

6. Do you guys think I should make an appointment ASAP or should I just watch my symptoms and wait for my yearly checkup in March?

Thanks alot for taking the time to read all that. Hope it wasn't too boring.
Hi again Canadian Girl,

I'm not too good at answering these things but for me, when I was your age, my symptoms would come and go. I wasn't diagnosed back then though, didn't even suspect it.

If the problems aren't too bothersome then I suppose you could wait. If one of my sons was having symptoms though, I'd want them to get checked out right away. (They're 26 & 28.) So from that point of view I'd say get right in there, especially since you have some slurring and trouble walking now and then.

I hope that was helpful. Try not to worry too much and take care.
