Brief Answer: Hi, Thanks for the query I understand your conce Detailed Answer: Hi, Thanks for the query I understand your concern Let me tell you that the symptoms that you have mentioned are not typical of MS. The symptoms of MS are : sudden blindness, weakness of both legs/one side of body, imbalance while walking etc. I think that your symptoms could be related to vitamin B12 deficiency and you should meet a local physician and get the vitamins replaced so that you feel better. Your problem in the night could be related to stress. Please consult a local neuro-physician who will guide you the way I have discussed I hope I have responded your queries Please feel free and let me know in case you need any help best wishes
