Hi missvega,

 

Diagnosing MS can be challenging.  Here is a post with information regarding the question "Do I have MS?"  http://www.healthcentral.com/multiple-sclerosis/c/19065/62496/guide

 

There is no way to know for sure if someone has MS over the internet.  Your symptoms may be caused by a variety of disorders.  I encourage you to call your primary doctor and mention everything that you've shared here.
