I read your question carefully and I understand your concern.

The diagnosis of MS is made by symptoms and signs coupled with MRI. Since you don't mention to have had any MRI lately we are left only with the tingling and movement disorder (which is a little unclear). Tingling can be a manifestation of MS but so can it be a manifestation of many brain lesions. In your case given your history with the accident, the coma and subsequent seizures it is to be assumed that a brain lesion has happened due to the accident and it has left a damaged area which could well justify the symptoms.
So to conclude I would consider it far more likely the symptoms to be due to the brain injury rather than you having a whole new neurological condition (frankly what are the chances of that on top of what you already have). In order to completely exclude MS an MRI can be scheduled.

I hope to have been of help.
