Hello, I am freaking out and incredibly scared. I haven't been diagnosed with MS but according to the early symptoms I found for MS on Webmd this morning I am 95% sure I have it. I'm 27 and have been taking a prescription called Enbrel for over 2 years for psoriasis About 3-6 months ago, I started noticing that the bottom of my feet hurt as soon as I got out of bed. Not the joints or muscle but the skin on the bottom of my feet. I also noticed tingling, numbness and slight burning in my lower legs and my fingers sometimes. I also noticed that the temperature of the water that my girlfriend likes in the shower feels scalding or boiling to me. I spent all last night looking online and took off from work today. I scheduled an appointment with my doctor tomorrow but do I want to see a neurologist? I also scheduled an appointment with my dermatologist who prescribed the Enbrel. Any good resources besides webmd and here? I am seriously panicking and my family is in europe for vacation so I'm not sure who to talk to besides my girlfriend. I thought it might be restless leg syndrome or peripheral artery disease. Please tell me this isn't that bad. How effective is the medication? Am I going to be in a wheel chair in 20 years? I don't know what to do besides go to my doctor.
