hi very very confused and frustrated

Hi my name angela , ive just had the worse time and realy need advice about a month ago i had pins and needles and numbness in my face this was at the end of a viral infection was told it was hayfever. Well a week later i had double vision and diagnosed with 6th cranial nerve palsy told i needed a nuerology appointment and mri . Any way a few days later i felt pullng sensation on my right side of face like spasms , looked alot like bells palsy but i could have control over smiling but couldnt control the pulling of my face. I then went for an Mri and recieved a phone call two oclock the next day asking me to come in that  day (bearing in mind i had three children under 6) i couldnt get there straight away so i asked for a dr to call me ) i then phoned back and was told that the mri didnt show any immediate concerns but i still need to see a nuerologist she wouldnt realy say much else as i didnt go to clinic she said she would send a report to my doctor.
well they sent two reports prior to mri reports to my doctors i had two years prior so my gp didnt know what i was going on about  so they sent them to me on the reports prior MRI  said couldnt rule out ms ? the doctor who seen me at hospital hasnt been in and not in untill thursday so wont get report from  till  next week and aain im having these weird facial things like palsy severe headaches on right sided loads of  feeling of pressure do they seem like symptoms of ms   ?i realy dont know what to do with myself?im not sure if the drs so lax that its anything i should be worried about at all ?but then again im very scared

I would definitely seek out a neurologist and talk about your symptoms with him/her.  These are questions that need to be answered by a qualified physician!

Sometimes a viral infection will cause Bell's Palsy, or it might be something else entirely.  Why did you have MRIs two years ago?
