Sure could be, but why jump to that huge diagnosis without considering lesser things, and more than one?
Your profile says you are a musician, do you find these symptoms more pronounced after a long practice or session? I would consult with a physical therapist as it could be an ergonomic issue, or you might need some adjustment and releases of your spinal column (and little bones out of place could be causing the tingling and such.)

The twitching legs could be that you need adjustment of your spine, or it could be RLS. (Restless leg syndrome.)

Good wishes on clearing these up.

It would probably be wise to consult your doctor and let them help you decide if it's something worth checking out. I hope you have good luck finding a solution to these problems.

It could be a lot of things; don't know if you're on any meds? Could just be side effects of meds or stress, or a combination, etc. See your regular doctor and he can look better at your whole health picture and history and decide on a next step.

Maybe you can find some info on this page: http://www.nationalmssociety.org/abo...-ms/index.aspx

many neurological problems have similiar symptoms so it would be impossible to tell what it could be or what it isnt without testing.

I went to the chiropractor. He would not touch me after examining me and asking questions. He said something nerological is definitly going on and to see one asap. I have an appointment on june 16. I am so nervouse and scared what they will find. I have a family to care for I can't have nothing wrong with me. My husband already has a physical disability.

Hey!

My Mom's got MS and it really hasn't affected her life that badly. Sure it's not a didease you'd want but it won't ruin your life if you don't let it. STAY POSITIVE- there's a really high chance that you don't have it.

Keep your stress levels to a minimum and try to get as much sleep and rest as possible!

Good luck, man!
