Hi cuntexas07,
It sounds like you have such a variety of symptoms that you should definitely tell your doctor about them. You should also be sure to tell your doctor that you have two sisters who each have chronic diseases and what they are.
Depending upon your examination and history, your doctor will probaby order some tests. Read the post Do I Have MS? to learn what types of tests are typically ordered when MS is suspected. Your doctor may refer you to a rheumatologist if the joint pain/issues are the primary concern.
It is best to clearly present your symptoms and explain when they started, when they happen, how long do they last, what makes them go away (if anything), etc. Good luck and please keep us updated on your progress.
