stop exercising.  see your doctor.  explain all your symptoms.  let your doc run tests and diagnose whatever's going on.   go with the doc's recommendation.

You might have a low imune system, try going to your doctor because there are a lot of things that can cause that.

Yes, it can.  :(\n\nMost people experience their first symptoms of MS between the ages of 20 and 40; the initial symptom of MS is often blurred or double vision, red-green color distortion, or even blindness in one eye.  Most MS patients experience muscle weakness in their extremities and difficulty with coordination and balance.  These symptoms may be severe enough to impair walking or even standing. In the worst cases, MS can produce partial or complete paralysis.  Most people with MS also exhibit paresthesias, transitory abnormal sensory feelings such as numbness, prickling, or "pins and needles" sensations.  Some may also experience pain.  Speech impediments, tremors, and dizziness are other frequent complaints. Occasionally, people with MS have hearing loss. Approximately half of all people with MS experience cognitive impairments such as difficulties with concentration, attention, memory, and poor judgment, but such symptoms are usually mild and are frequently overlooked.  Depression is another common feature of MS.

Well, there could be several different reasons, but from personal experience...have you had your thyroid checked?  That could be one reason.  I have hypo thyroid and if I do not take my medication regularly, I feel exactly as you described.  When was the last time you went to the doctor?  Have you been checked for adult onset diabetes?  Does it run in your family?  The two I mentioned are possibilities, but it could very well be something very simple.  \nDefinitely talk to your doctor.\n\nI would also suggest you not research anything suggested too much.  When any of us do that...the medical descriptions for things generally fit sooo many different symptoms.  You wind up walking away from the computer having Mono, Anemia, Diabetes, Cancer....you name it...it fits how you feel.

I am female and now 49, and was diagnosed w/MS when I was about 24.  At the time I was diagnosed, there was no 'proof positive' test for MS.  I believe the best test now is the MRI.  \nDepending on your relationship with your PCP, I would try to explain about your concerns and possible sysptoms and that you would like to talk to a Neurologist; who would be the doctor to be treating you if you did in fact have MS.  \nThough, remember there are literally thousands of diseases connected to the nerves, and a lot of the symptoms are the same as MS.   \nAs for your concern about being diagnosed '...until it's nearly too late to do any good about it...'  there are no preventative drugs for MS.\nThere are 4 types of severity of MS, and each person can differ from one to another. Also even if family memebers have MS, it doesn't mean they will all have the save 'type' of MS.\nThe newer medications now on the market have been proven to 'keep' the disease in remission for longer and longer periods of time.  (It's been over 5 years for me now, and I contribute it to the new medication - so there is almost always 'something' the doctors are able to do to help with the symptoms.\nThe only real advice I will offer is not to get 'stressed' out by thinking about it. Talk to a Neurologist and get some information from the Hospital Library.  \nI really haven't heard of anyone actually 'dying' from MS, more from commplications of the disease.\nWhen I was diagnosed, I was told the 1st requirement for MS is: a sense of humor! And trust me that piece of advice has helped me through the years...

MS is a very serious neurological disease and can not be readily diagnosed... MRI to look for lesions, Evoked Potentials to determine to what extent the demylinating disease has on the extremities. there is numbness, pain... every patient is different - that's why it is so difficult to narrow down.\n\nSymptoms of MS are unpredictable and vary from person to person and from time to time in the same person. For example, one person may experience abnormal fatigue, while another might have severe vision problems. A person with MS could have loss of balance and muscle coordination making walking difficult; another person with MS could have slurred speech, tremors, stiffness, and bladder problems. While some symptoms will come and go over the course of the disease, others may be more lasting.

It's difficult to diagnose you symptoms without proper testing.  Go see your doc for a check-up.

It's not hard to diagnose at all.  The symptoms are extreme fatigue,some people have  attacks (the most common type of MS)which can range from mild to severe (during an attack you may loose feeling in a part of your body, loose sight, hearing or not be able to talk, think or recognize people.) After the attack the symptoms usually go away anywhere from a couple of hours the weeks to clear up and sometimes damage remains.  Loss of memory is also a symptom of MS.  Numbness, tingling or pain in the body.  You should see a neurologist right away MS can be diagnosed with an MRI the MRI shows the lesions that are common in people with MS.  There are different type's of MS also some people don't have the attacks but get progressively worst over time.  There is no cure for MS but there are good treatments that slow the progression and can lessen and even stop the attacks of MS...Go right away...Hope this helps

oh gosh you should go to the doctor if it keeps feeling like that because those sound like my mom's (m.s.)multiple sclerosis symptoms

I was discharged from the Navy with a condition that they never fully determined.  They ran a few tests and ruled out a lot of things but they could never find anything that included all of my symptoms.  I looked up the symptoms of Sarcoidosis and I have almost all of them.  I am going to go to my specialist ASAP and see if that could be the mystery disease.

You need to go to the doctor.  There are a number of things that could be wrong: thyroid, fibromyalgia, etc.  You need an MD to make a diagnosis.

Demand a second opinion. Positive note I had similar symptoms for years rarely a day off. I had a brain scan, a EEG and other tests turns out I have hemiplegic migraines - very scary. I have an aura with mine - a bad taste often triggered by what I eat or smell. Gloss paint sends me off my legs for up to 2 weeks. I was investigated for having a stroke! Go back an see your Dr if symptoms don't improve and demand further tests! Have allergy/ sensitivity tests done, mine showed my triggers as being corn, melon, larger etc. I changed my diet and took FEVER FEW natural health supps and have made a fantastic recovery, with the occasional relapse. I f your symptoms are new to you and you have had no further investigations than a DR appointment, go back and demand more. Take a friend or relative with you if your reluctant to push the issue. You only have one life - enjoy it. Luv J xx
