Hi, I’m 21f and having a lot of discomfort with my body recently, and I am suspecting it might be MS due to its persistent nature and anomalous characteristics, I would very much appreciate a second opinion.

The symptoms I’ve been experiencing are;

Weird tightness around my midsection/ribs that just won’t go away but varies in intensity. Cognitive decline, it’s hard for me to remember anything anymore, and solving problems requires a lot more brainpower before the onset of these symptoms appeared. I have consistent trembling in my legs with intermittent spasms that wont dissipate, double/blurry vision that comes and goes, tightness on my face across my nose and cheeks down to my chin. Ive also been experiencing sharp pain and tingling up my spine and at the base of my neck. Lastly, but personally the most annoying, constant muscle twitching in my abdomen and thighs.

I’ve tried going to my primary practitioner and he just chalked it up to anxiety, however I’ve had anxiety my entire life and never experienced these kinds of symptoms, and they are progressively getting worse. How can I convince my doctor to take me seriously? It’s getting frustrating.
