Does this sound like MS?!
Question: For the past year I've been experiencing worsening headaches and twitching. The twitching is to the point where it's very noticeable, and when it gets really bad I feel fluish. When I have a headache, the twitching gets a lot worse to the point where it's no longer twitching it's jerking. I've also been experiencing vision problems in my left eye, where the vision is no longer correctable with glasses.
I've had all kinds of blood work done multiple times. My electrolytes are good, vitamins are good, everything is normal kidneys, liver, etc. etc.
So now my doctor suspects MS. Does this sound like MS? or something else? If so what could it be?
I am a 21 year old female.

Without actually seeing you its difficult to say, but the twitching/jerking could be down to something else, maybe a movement disorder. I have a myoclonus which makes me have jerking movements, which gets a lot worse when I'm tired or stressed. Obviously I can't say what's wrong with you, but maybe it is something other than MS. The most important thing is that your doctor is taking it seriously and will do all the necessary tests.
Hope it gets sorted out for you x
