   <p><inline-mention user-id="4037320" username="confused2018"/> , <br> Reading over your list of symptoms, I can understand why you are wondering if what you have could be MS. That&#39;s the problem so often with making a diagnosis based on symptoms alone--so many conditions have the same symptoms. Therefore, for your safety, we make it a practice not to attempt to make a diagnosis or give medical advice because we don&#39;t have your full medical history. But here&#39;s some information you may find helpful. The following article provides a list of conditions other than MS that have similar symptoms to MS to consider: <br> <br> <a href='https://multiplesclerosis.net/diagnosis/ruling-out-other-health-conditions' target='_blank'>https://multiplesclerosis.net/diagnosis/ruling-out-other-health-conditions/</a> <br> <br> and here are the diagnostic methods used to determine if you might have MS: <br> <br> <a href='https://multiplesclerosis.net/diagnosis' target='_blank'>https://multiplesclerosis.net/diagnosis/</a> <br> <br> It&#39;s impossible for us to tell on symptoms alone. While what you describe could be MS, it could also be a number of other neurological conditions. Have you had an MRI or lumbar puncture? Have you seen a neurologist? <br> Donna Steigleder</p>

      <p>Thank you for your responses. I have recently been in touch with my original neurologist. I am waiting for a call from this office to set up an MRI exam. We also discussed the possibility of a lumbar puncture. I&#39;ll keep you posted. Thank you.</p>
