Brief Answer:
Does not sound like MS.

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX
Thanks for being on healthcaremagic.com.
I am Dr.Ajay Panwar,a neurologist, here to answer your query.

Your symptoms apparently don't point towards MS. Symptoms appear to be non-specific. It would be better to get a neurological examination done during the periods of intermittent stiffness. A neurological abnormality during that period may provide clue to the diagnosis.EEG may be done to see if there are any abnormal electrical discharges in the brain. Further, routine blood work and a postural assessment of Blood pressure drop would be advisable.

Hope that helps.I shall be glad to have you in follow-up with further questions.

Regards
Dr.Ajay Panwar,
