Sorry to read you are going through so much, right now. Especially, more sorry to read your age, at going through this. One of your symptoms, that sticks out to me, that I hope you can learn to have more control over is your emotions. Having micro-outbursts and shakiness, need not always be about depression. Are there changes going on around you?
Have you been tested for diabetes, etc? The frequency in needing to go frequently, can be a sign of something else. Of course, it could all seem MS related. I am surprised they didn't do a contrast MRI. Does sound like a specialist is in order. That, is quite and extensive list of symptoms.

Hi, thank you both for your responses, I really appreciate your help!
@NurseNancy At my local surgery you can usually request an appointment with a doctor of your choice, but they are not always available, so I do sometimes have to stick with him. However, the day I was actually referred to the neuro, the doctor I requested was free, lucky! Unfortunately I do not live in the US, I'm from the UK, where things are generally slower medical wise. I'm not sure if we are allowed to do that here ![]() Apologies for the writing, I noticed afterwards when reading it back it was sending my eyes a little funny ![]() @GladysD Hi, thanks! Yeah, the emotion business is responsible for quite alot of trouble between peers and myself at the minute, although I am not greatly aware of any major changes, I do get stressed easily by the smallest of things that wouldn't seem to drastic to most I know, maybe that is responsible? Yes I had quite a few (8 in total) blood tests a couple of weeks ago, in particular checking for vitamin deficiencies, diabetes and anaemia. All came back completely normal, except concerning thyroid, TSH levels had dropped, and FT4 was in the low end of the range (normal is between 12 - 22) however I was told most commonly in hypothyroid, T4 is low, and the TSH level is high, so maybe there is something going on thyroid-wise. ![]() I just don't know what to expect from now, it's like I'm facing a brick wall with no outcome, silly I know, but it's so frustrating ![]() Thank you! |

What jumped out at me when I read your posts was whether or not you may have a sleep disorder. It can cause many of your symptoms. A sleep study diagnoses that. People don't even know they have a sleep disorder. You don't have to be some one who snores to have one.
