Hello,
It is necessary to exclude MS, considering your symptoms. Other disorders to consider would be peripheral neuropathy, vitamin B12 deficiency, Vitamin D deficiency. For this reason, I recommend consulting with a neurologist for a physical exam and checking for the above disorders. A brain MRI or nerve conduction studies may be needed.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
