Well, you don't say what your age is and since you give not much detail on how these symptoms appeared and progressed over time I can say only that yes, that constellation of symptoms can typically be present in a MS patient.
I suppose your doctors have found that your clinical and MRI data completely fulfill the diagnostic criteria for MS or otherwise they would've asked for other tests like lumbar puncture to analyse the cerebrospinal fluid.
