Default Showing some troubling signs

Hey guys, I'm new here, and I'm sure you get a lot of these threads, so I'm going to try to keep mine as brief as possible( it's a tad bit long ). I didn't know where to post this, and this specific forum seems like a good starting point. Basically, when I was 20, I started to have switches in my back, which eventually went away.

About a year later, those twitches came back, and this time I had pain in my back, and one morning I woke up with my stomach hurting so bad I could hardly move, it went away and never came back. It's only been recently at 21 things flared up again and started getting weird, all sort of strange symptoms that come and go, or kind of stay. First off, my vision, for about two months, I was noticing my vision was weird, like things would slightly move, or I would lose track what I was looking at. Now, I have moments where I have hufe black lines, like in a cup formation, sweep by my vision, from left to right, sometimes Ill get a huge white line that flashes in front of me.

This has been coming and going for a month, also sometimes It feels my vision pushes forward, and I lose track for a split second, it's the weirdest thing. I have constant pressure in my head, and lately my neck has been tightening with it, and that pressure keeps pushing my head a bit, like small jerks in different directions, this seems to get better and worse, keeps switching around, Its almost like my head feels stuffy. For about a year it always feels like something has been stuck in my throat.

Sometimes I feel pressure on my right eye, like its projecting out a bit. Ive been having pain all over, like inside my ears, side of heads, my shoulder and arms, thighs, and sometimes feet and hands, It's like somebody really quickly stabs me with a knife, then it goes away and doesn't happen for a long time. I keep having weird weeks where I'm just tired all the time, and taking naps like 7 hours after being awake, then other days I feel fine. I'm having some minor body jerks every once in a while. When going to sleep, sometimes it feels like a motor is going off in my legs.

Getting lots of pain inside my ears every once in a while, and a couple of times my hearing would go away, and just hear ringing for 5 seconds, then the hearing comes back. I have times where I feel tingling like in my toes, foot or legs, almost like ants burst out of their antpile, and this only happens briefly, like 20 seconds. I also have times, where I feel this tingling ticklish buzz that goes off in my legs, only lasts like 3-5 seconds with no pain. It almost feels like its moving upwards to my thighs, like painless electricity.

I also have had nights where there's horrible pain in my cheek. It sometimes feels like there's tingling in my forehead and top of my nose and feels like wet spots on my head, like rain drops hit my head. Sometimes my right eye will get this sore very slight burning feeling. The last odd thing, is I have smoked marijuana since I was 18, and I always liked it, and it actually helped me to keep calm and do my work. Till I was Twenty-one, When I would smoke, I started to get these uncontrollable leg spasms, like they're having a seizure.

This has happened like 5 times, and I have had moments sober, where I start to get the feeling, but it goes away and never takes off. It's like my legs tighten up when it happens, and has the same pattern every time. Where it gets better and better for 20 minutes, then stops. Basically, I'm posting this to you guys because I want to some viewpoints on where I should be taking this doctor wise, and if you guys have any ideas if there's other things that resemble these symptoms. I went to a neurologist, and he's sending me for a MRI scan of my head tomorrow, but he said he thinks it will be normal. That's my question, if this MRI scan comes normal, where do I take this?

because I am not accepting that there's nothing going on as an answer. I know these things can be psychological, but I'm telling you, this stuff is not in my head, it's not normal to be sitting in class, and a feeling of a knife comes and stabs you and you flinch. Does this sound like possible MS at all? I'm a twenty one year old white male, and I do have some family history of neurological issues. My dad is 60, and has just recently had two seizures, they think he has epilepsy. His sister died when she was 14 from lupus, and my aunt has Myasthenia Gravis, and my grandma has had strokes.

These family members are all on my dads side as well. My parents also had me very late like, 39 years old both, which increase the chances of having bad genes. I'm very concerned something bad could be happening to me, even as I type this, I keep seeing some long white line moving across my vision, and like there will be small blank white holes every once in a while, it's hard to explain.

Sorry that is somewhat long, I'm just really looking for some opinions where to take this, because my body is telling me there is something going on, I can compare it to how I felt two years ago, and I 100 percent feel different, like something is just overall off with me. Not to mention, I have a cloudy feeling mentally, and have recently started becoming depressed before the attack of these symptoms.

Last thing I want to mention is that stomach pain I talked about earlier, came back a year later around a week ago, and I now sometimes feel throbbing pain on my lower right side of stomach, whatever that might mean. I also have a ton of muscle twitches all the time, mainly in my thighs, and calfes and strangely in my head. It just feels like my body wont relax the way it should. Thank you so much to those who read this and respond, I really do appreciate it and will respond to your comments.
