hello and welcome to NT.

i'm glad you found us. it's common for the process of diagnosing MS to take a while, especially when you have a lot of sx's (symptoms). the process entails ruling out other illnesses that can mimic MS.

have you had an MRI? that's a common test to dx (diagnose) MS, but expensive. do you have insurance?

some of what you describe falls under safety issues in the home.
i'd go thru your house and see what problems you have and find a way to make your environment safer. like plastic glasses. you might need a cane for balance. and you might consider using nite lites at nite to decrease a risk to fall. if you have rugs in your house, bathroom, bedroom change them if you trip on them. there are also mats you can place under the rug so it doesn't move.

well, that's been a long welcome.
hope to hear more about you.
