Could this be a sign of MS?

I'm new here trying to get some insight about a year ago out of no where I started experiencing these
"attacks" where my whole body would get numb tight and tingling from legs through face my hands and arms
cramp and get stiff and little bit in legs they would last 10 minutes to an 1 hour they are very unpredictable
and come an go at random it could be days before another "attack" they even went away for a year and now they came back around the same time I got them before but since they came back I get lightheaded often that comes and  doctor says it might be anxiety but he didn't seem sure any thoughts?

Yeah I was afraid it would take time! lol oh well got to do what you got to do but thanks I'll definitely read and look through the health pages its so heard doing research on the net because there's so many disease or disorders out there

While you're waiting to see a neurologist and be tested to come up with a diagnosis (which does take time!),why don't you use this time to read the Health Pages?!You'll note them on the right side.You'll come to understand the MS mimics,the tests for MS as well as the treatments for MS___ should that be the diagnosis.

Thanks! yeah i'm going for a blood test and urine test soon and then my doctors going to refer me to a neurologist he thinks it might be anxiety but isn't to sure so I'll find out sooner or later I really don't know what it could be

Anxiety can cause tingling throughout the body;possibly numbness...but I've never heard of it causing cramping!

As for your symptoms being caused by MS;I cannot say for sure.Only time and testing will answer that question.It is a possibility,but before a diagnosis can be made,the mimics must be excluded.Welcome to our community!
