Hi everyone,

I am 19 years old, in my second year of college, and have been having neuro symptoms for about a year now. I am just wondering if my symptoms could possibly be caused by MS or if any one else here started with similar symptoms. Some information about what has been going on:

- First symptoms: was the feeling of water dripping down my legs when walking back from class (always happened at the end when I got hot), small black spots in vision, flahses in vision, and some lack of coordination

- Neuro #1: last summer, symptoms were very far and few between
- blood work: completely normal
-Brain/spine MRI: both negative for MS (no contrast)
- EMG/NCS: some small indication of problems on left side
- VEP: borderline, prolonged but normal
- other notes: reduced reflexes at knee in leg
- Neuro #2: Still seeing him
- EMG/NCS #2: completely normal
- Rest of back MRI: normal
- skin biopsy: low sweat gland nerve fiber density at thigh, low (but not low enough for diagnosis of SFN) ENFD

Symptoms which have developed this year:
- shimmering of entire vision field (oly notice on blank backgrounds especially the sky)
- increasing black pattern in vision until blinking and then it restarts (not all the time)
- heart rate problems (now taking meds for--ok)
- extreme stinging mostly in legs (sometimes arms and trunk) when working out
- tingling when i get too warm outside
- skin sensitivity to clothing in same spot everytime (right stomach/side)
- dizziness
- shakiness of hands and trembling of body (as if i had chills)
- weakness/tiredness (not all the time)
(not sure if last 3 are side effects of meds or not)

- i am on gabapentin which works for some symptoms
- scheduled an appointment t cleveland clinic and am wondering if it was just too early to test for MS before (symptoms increased alot this year)?

THANK YOU!
