ms varies to sudden to gradual..i don't think you could have ms though,i think its something else,your to young to even be experiencing any of the symptoms for ms.i agree with the other answers your that worried and you do feel that something is wrong,you're old enough to go to the doc by yourself. they need to do blood tests,further examination to your body and then maybe if you did have something underlying,it will eventually show up..don't be upset at them when they tell u nothing is wrong..certain medical diseases,like ms doesn't get diagnosed right off the bat either.hope this works 4 ya.
If you really are this worried just go to the doctor yourself, you are old enough.
Perhaps you should tell them that you deserve a second opinion from another neurologist. If those results turn up negative, then the next step might be to see a psychiatrist. If a neurologist cannot detect the symptoms you are experiencing, it might just be panic attacks. Whatever happens, good luck, and don't kill yourself!!
I thnk you r parents are being very irasponsible! Cant you take yourself to the doctor? Tell one of your teachers at school. My close friend was just diagnosed with MS and if you get it early there is very good treatment out there for it! So remember if you get it diagnosed early there is o saying you wont have a normal life like the rest of us. Good luck you poor thing I hope it is just anxiety and nothing serious like MS
