Hello,
Thanks for follow up and providing required details.
On close evaluation of provided details I do not think there is possibility of MS or any other serious neurological disorder. Almost every symptom experienced by you can be explained on the basis of stress itself.
The points in favour of stress include
1. Sudden onset
2. Fluctuating course
3. Non progressive
4. Presence of symptoms which can not be explained on basis of local pathology
5. Your age
6. Symptom suggestive of stress.
I hope this answers you.
Feel free to write back to me if you have more questions.
Thanks and regards.
