I am the right age, sex, and heritage to have an increased risk of the disease. I feel some of the symptoms like tingling feet, flashing lights, clumsiness, strange vision… but not all the time (come and go) and not severe enough to not wright off as something that’s not dangerous. However, this fear has plagued me for at least a year now and I worry that I’m just being paranoid. I had a horrible year last year with anxiety (provoked by my environment) which I had never experienced before. Now that I’m out (less anxiety), I am still occasionally feeling symptoms and worrying about MS.
Am I just being paranoid? If I do possibly have MS, wouldn’t I do better to wait until symptoms are more pronounced? There’s no benefit to discovering this early so it would be okay to not worry about it now, right?
