" Yes these are symptoms of MS, but also of a lot of other things which is why MS is so hard to diagnose. Have you been to your primary care doctor about any of these symptoms. "

" On your list, try to identify when each pain occurs, how long it lasts - and the severity of the pain on a scale of 1-5. Also, keep a journal of your food intake and if it aggravates the pain. You could have a food allergy also. Caffien, for instance, will increase pain. Even if the doc does not pay full attention to you this time around, keep making the journal every day and each time you go in, take it with you. They do not want to hear that you have pain, but when, where, how long, and the severity of it. Also, write down the meds you have taken, the amounts, etc. - and the result of each med. Best of luck, and let us know how it goes. Leanna "

" Eye pain could be due to a lack of water. This happens to me when I don't drink enough water and instead drink too much coffee!! You could experiencing nerve pain, Neurontin may help with that, Ibuprofen does not help nerve pain. Neurontin didn't help me in the past, but it has helped others on this site. I've had tingling/numbness in feet/legs for one year now. Good luck!! Tasha :) "
