Have you ever been scared that your anxiety symptoms might be MS? I've had symptoms for a year now, but for the last few days I've been freaking out about MS because I've suddenly developed twitches and weakness in my legs.

I've never had that fear, but I can understand why maybe you'd think that.
You have to be careful, because the mind is a powerful thing. If you keep thinking about it possibly being MS your body might convince itself you have it. Do you know what I mean?
You start to think you have it so your body starts
acting like you have it. I have a best friend whose like that. Does this alot.

But it could also actually be MS. Have you tried going to a doctor? :o
