They could be or not.

It was pretty obvious when I got checked out, because I let it go for so long before I actually felt like something was going terribly wrong. I remember my tingling hands and spots of weird sensations, eye problems and even after having a nite accident I still didnt go to the doctor. I wrote it off as stress or something. Finally falling on my face and so dizzy I couldnt get up, made me go to the doctors. I was 37, now 40 and I have trouble in all aspects of this disease in a short amount of time.

So yeah its good to get checked out now at the slightest symptoms, because if yo uwait like me, it makes things harder to deal with.

Good luck to you and dont get to mad if it is true....I know it will be a shock, but take a time out and breath, even at my stage it is fairly manageable.
