Hello Jose, and welcome to the forums!


Believe it or not, you're traveling down the same path that many of the people on this forum, including myself, have traveled.

Please rest assured that the physical symptoms you've described are all common symptoms of anxiety. Numbness, tingling, burning sensations, cold sensations, twitching... all anxiety.

I actually went through the same worry as you about having multiple sclerosis.

What kind of medication did your doctor put you on? How long have you been taking it? You should know that it may take two or three weeks before it starts to work.

Also, did the doctor diagnose you with a specific conditon, such as Generalized Anxiety Disorder, or Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, etc.?

I don't even remember what triggered my fears of MS, but I think it was a shaky, weak feeling in my limbs, or stiffness (which occasionally trigger obsessions about having tetanus.)

What REALLY sets it off is that I would get on the internet and research all these conditions, and then I would believe that I had them. As I worried, my sypmtoms got worse, and then my worry got worse... you know how it goes.

I generally try to stay away from researching these things, unless I'm in a clear state of mind.
