It could be MS but there are also many other things that could be the cause. Have you spoken to your doctor about it? I would strongly encourage you to see a neurologist who could get to the bottom of your problems.
There isn't a cure for MS but there are drugs to treat the symptoms. There are also disease modifying drugs used to slow down MS progression.
I run a MS Support group on Yahoo called MSersLife. You are welcome to join us if you want. We have a lot of information in the group files and links including a page on "MS Mimics" listing other possible diseases that could be mistaken for MS. The link to the group is below.
Good luck and I hope you don't have MS, but if you do it isn't the end of the world. Most people with MS have good lives and manage quite well.

No cure for MS. It can stabilise, but it can't be cured
First, while your symptoms do sound like MS, they also could be the result of stress or fatigue as well as other medical conditions. MS can be difinitively diagnosed by a spinal tap or MRI. You should see a doctor to assess your symptoms
There is currently no cure for MS but there are treatments for most of the symptoms. Also, in many patients, MS symptoms are intermittent and may go into remission for months or years at a time.
Good luck.
It also sounds like fibrmyalgia. Hun you need to have a doc assess you. I am praying its not MS...please see a doc before you cause yourself an ulcer from worry. The sooner you find out whats going on the sooner you can begin treating it and feeling better.
