  Wow, thanks everyone for all the comments. I have suffered for the last ten years with, 1: "Reiters syndrome" nevermind it's now, "Rheumatoid arthritis" whoops it's "Low vitamin D levels" Oh wrong again it's "fibromyalgia and Irritable Bowel syndrome", wrong again. Lost my sight in right eye two weeks ago and then two days later hearing in right ear. Both have returned and now scheduled for a MRI of head and spine and finally they are listening to me about all my symptoms. Trouble walking, left hand shaking getting worse, pain scattered throughout body, severe fatigue, but the worst is the "Hug". It constricts my chest so bad I can hardly catch my breath. Haven't received formal prognosis but Doctors (three so far) are saying it is probably PPMS and I should be prepared for the news. How? What suddenly knowing the pain is from this and not that makes it all better? I'm 56 year old male. I don't really care what it is I will do what I do. Exercise when I can, keep my weight down, take my vitamins although reading the comments I plan to double my Vitamin D from 2000 units a day to 4000 to see what that does. The rest, from all the research I don't really see a viable treatment for PPMS. The best thing is to keep my head up. Told my sister at least now I can eat all the bacon and deserts I want. She asked why and told her I would rather die from a heart attack than PPMS from what I read. Oh which reminds me. Does anyone else get "False Heart Attacks"? I get the heart attack pain ie: crushing chest pain, pain down left arm, relieved by taking nitro pills but EKG's and all other tests show no involvement by the heart itself. I haven't seen anyone else mention this so wonder if this is normal for MS. I mean they have even gone to the trouble of running a scope into the heart itself and see nothing that would explain the events. Any help would be nice.
