Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for being in follow-up with further details.
I have gone through your symptoms.Of course,MS may have these symptoms but I suggest you to undergo a physical examination by a neurologist.MRI Brain usually show lesions in MS.For vision loss, visual evoked potentials(VEP) must be done in MS.
I think, next appropriate step for you is to visit a neurologist and give him a detailed history.
Hope that helps.If you have some further questions,I shall be glad to have you in follow-up.
