Brief Answer:
NO, this is not suggestive of MS!

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about these symptoms. MS will rather cause the bladder not to be active. Therefore an overactive bladder is exactly the contrary of what is expected if these symptoms were related to MS. There is no reason to keep getting worried about this as MS is not a possibility given your symptoms.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thanks for using our services and feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.

But ive read where ms causes you to have to use the restroom more frequently. Plus, Recently I've experienced a host of neurological symptoms for the past six months. It all started with tingling in my left hand which came and went. This was followed by weird sensation in the feet. Not necessarily numbness but feeling as if the feet were falling asleep. I then noticed that I was starting to feel slightly dizzy. Not vertigo. But I had a heavy feeling in my head and I felt slightly slightly off-balance. I found that it was worse when I was indoorsand felt better when I was outside walking. It's sensation would come for a week and then leave. And then would come back for another week and leave. I then felt as though my whole body was on edge, as if at any moment my limbs would jerk at random. The only time my limb has actualky jerked was when i was falling asleep. This has been happening more frequently recently. Ive also felt a weird sensation in my left arm ( not numbness. I've also experienced a hand tremor that comes and goes. And over the last couple of days I've experienced frequent urination without drinking much. What might cause this?

Brief Answer:
This doesn't seem MS to me!

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this detailed follow up information.

I have reviewed your information. MS cannot affect almost all the different parts of the body like you have detailed out. Am a bit concerned you might have some fears related to MS which have increased your level of fear of this condition. Is there anything particular about MS that worries you most?

For now, be relaxed and frequent urination could just be related to low environmental temperatures with little sweating. However, if you keep being too worried about MS, I will recommend an MRI so that you can get results and have a settled mindset.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Remember am always available for more exchanges.
