I have seen a few doctors but all say it is stress. Can stress cause heat related symptoms or any of the other weird symptoms I have had in the last 6 years? Also can stress related symptoms last 6 years??? Any one know of a good neurologist in northern Indiana that specializes in MS??

You need to get to a doctor that will send you to a neurologist and they can do a M.R.I. and maybe a spinal tap. You have symtoms that one would or could experience if they had M.S. but there are numerouse other neurologicol disorders that could be the cause.
Go on the web and look up the Crainial Nerves and you,ll see that this sound like a problem involving one or more of these nerves and only a neurologist could tell you just what is happening to you.
If it is M.S. then you need to be treated before any more time goes by. There,s meds. that can retard it .

Symptoms of MS are unpredictable and vary from person to person and from time to time in the same person. For example, one person may experience abnormal fatigue, while another might have severe vision problems. A person with MS could have loss of balance and muscle coordination making walking difficult; another person with MS could have slurred speech, tremors, stiffness, and bladder problems. While some symptoms will come and go over the course of the disease, others may be more lasting.

Find a competent neurologist and get an MRI. MS usually shows up with lesions in your brain as a sign of the disease. Number one thing you can do to help yourself right now is to avoid beef or dairy at all costs. There is something in milk and beef that aggravates the condition. My wife was diagnosed with MS about 20 years ago. She is no longer suffering, thanks to glyconutrients.

You can google the symptoms, there are great websites. But you need to get in to the doctor ASAP. These are very serious symptoms and early detection is crucial in any illness. Best of luck to you.
