Brief Answer:
You need not worry about MS

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

I have gone through your query and understand your concerns. I understand that you have been having a number of problems. It is good to know that Ritalin is providing relief.

The mentioned details do not point toward MS (multiple sclerosis). I do not think that you need to worry about it.
