I no it is heredtory (really bad spelling sorry) but over the past 4 months I have fainted about 4 times but then I have woken up on the floor of my bedroom not knoing what happened, I have also had really painfull and burning muscle problems in my left leg and getting really bad headaches around my eyes and I no that my great grandad had some of these problems for a long time due to the M.S. I am really scared that in could be M.S and I don't no how to ask for help because I saw how it effected my WHOLE family. I don't no what to do, could it be Multiple Sclerosis. PLEASE someone help me!

    Since you are also pregnant you should set up an appointment with a doctor as soon as possible. Nobody but nobody on an internet message board can diagnose you.

    I would definitely see a doctor. My mom had MS so I know what you're going through. When I was in school I did several research papers on it to learn more about it. While it is hereditary the chance of me getting it, at least when I was studying about it years ago, is only 3%. I realize other studies may have been done and I haven't really kept up but maybe that will make you feel better. I would still see a doctor to be on the safe side. Here's a website I found though if you want to check it out
