Hello,
I think I have some symptoms of MS, like numbness in my hands. I am really afraid this problem could get bigger…

Hey,
I am sorry to inform you but there is no preliminary testing determine multiple sclerosis. There is no screening test for MS. Doctors usually diagnose MS after studying the symptoms. But they might perform some other test, like spinal tab (if MS, then fluid taken form the spine may contain high levels of white blood cells and protein and certain antibodies), MRI, evoked potential testing, neuropsychological tests and these tests help diagnose MS. But as I said there is no direct testing for MS.
