Heart hi, i'm new and I have some health questions

Hi. I just wanted to see what you guys thought. I haven't talked to a doctor about any of this yet but I've had some tremors, trouble focusing my eyes, some occasional slurred speech and occasionally I walk bowlegged and on my toes a bit. My limbs have had some burning, numbness and tingling too. Plus I've been sort of dizzy, forgetful, and other mental problems. I also used to be really healthy but over the years my immunity to colds and flus has gone way down and my need for sleep seems to have gone way up. This looks like MS to me but I know there are probably other disorders out there Im not aware of. Some of these symptoms have been in the last month or year (I'm 29), and some have been since I was around 19 or 20. It's complicated because I've had alot of emotional problems diagnosed by my doctors. None of this is debilitating, I'm lucky to be pretty healthy most of the time. I have a couple questions. 1. Do you guys think this sounds like MS or is it more like some other disorder you know of? 2. If I get a test done and everything comes back normal can I ask my doctors for more tests, or do I wait for things to worsen then get the test(s) redone? 3. Because of the way I walk sometimes (bowlegged and on my toes a bit), I think it's MS, but it only happens when I've been walking alone for a while and am starting to feel nervous (because I'm phobic about being alone in public). So do you guys think this walking thing is just nerves or do symptoms typically get worse (or even appear) with anxiety? 4. Does MS make colds and flus take alot longer to fight off? 5. Do your symptoms all come and go at the same time? In other words , do you feel symptom-free some months, and they all come back together, or is it like one week it's one thing, and the next week it's something different. 6. Do you guys think I should make an appointment ASAP or should I just watch my symptoms and wait for my yearly checkup in March?

Thanks alot for taking the time to read all that. Hope it wasn't too boring.
