I appreciate your concern

MS is debilitating disease in which body immune system attack the nerve sheath of neurons in brain spinal cord leading to variety of symtoms and sign like numbness or weakness in the legs partial or complete loss of vision double vision tingling and pain in parts of body tremors or lack of coordination or unsteady gate slurred speech fatigue.

Some people may also develop muscle spasm mental changes such a forgetfulness and mood swings depression problems with bladder bowl and sexual function. MS is diagnosed on MRI plus clinical co relation , most of the people develop relapsing and remitting course in which the symptoms get better then reappear. Your description fits so you should definitely get a second opinion from another neurologist.

let me know if you have any query
