What does this sound like, MS, Brain tumor, or etc.?
I am a 23 years old female that is having headaches lasting more than a week or I will get tem more than 5 times a week. My speech can get slurred and I stumble over my words, like I know what to say I just can't get my mouth to say them. I am always fatigued, memory is failing I can't remeber thing in short term, and sometimes long term. I can't contentrate like I use to. Twitching in the face left, arm, buttocks, and legs with a pins and needles effects too. My heart flutters. I get confused easily. Have shockie pain in and around my lower abs. and rib cage that comes and goes. Shocks in the muscle when it is really hot. With the movement of my neck my head will go numb or pins and needles. I feel weak and sickly. My chest can get really heavy and hard to breath. I wear contacts ( can't see far away, too blurry) but I have foggy or hazy times with my vision. And last but not least, I get dizzy and light headed. I go see a nero.

I go to a neurologist on Jan. 07, 2008. It is the earliest anyone can see me.

You should have gone to an ER and asked for a neurologist consult ASAP.
It sounds really serious. I have MS, and I can get all of those symptoms, but my heart is not fluttering which sounds more like you had a stroke or a small series of strokes/seizures. Go to an emergency room. I wish you the best.

Neurological symptoms are often hard to diagnose. There's probably all sorts of things that can cause your symptoms. The closest cause I can think of is a basilar artery migraine because it can causes all of the symptoms, including occasional atrial fibrillation. There is a similar migraine type called a hemiplegic migraine that could also be a cause. It might be a good idea to get an appointment with your GP or even a walk-in clinic to get a prescription for one of the meds that stop migraines. It would be helpful to try this before going to the neurologist, because the effects of the meds might solve the problem or at least narrow down the possible causes.

Since this has been going on for a while I do not believe that you need to be running to the ER. Contact your doctor and discuss all of these symptom with him/her. If this doctor doesn't find anything ask to be referred to a neurologist for a work up. MS, seizures...and many other conditions have some of these symptoms. Try not to panic while you are going through all of these tests. Easier said then done, I know!

Try sleeping at least 10 hours a day and eating four meals a day and drink plenty of fluids.

go see a doctor immediately! we can't diagnose you, and it sounds like it could be something serious.
