Questions re MS

Can someone please help me? First off I want to commend you all on dealing with MS on a daily basis while still serving your patients-you are all angels! I am not really looking for exact medical advice, but more asking if these are symptoms that you have suffered from?

My mother is 54 and I think she has MS and she won't see a doctor because she has no health insurance.

Here is a brief history on her:

-Suffered from hypothyroid all her life (currently on meds and it is always monitered)

-Was DX with Hep C about 15 years ago, and we not receive treatment because of the costs

-She has abused all types of prescription meds (pain killers, etc) her whole life. She has ways of getting them.

What is happenign now:

-She cannot complete a sentence without forgetting what she was talking about.

-Her hands and legs tremble (shake) when she is having an "episode"

-Cannot speak during the episode

-Doesn't remember the episode, other than being confused

-She has always had extreme migraines

-Dry eyes

-Buring censations over body

-Backpain

The episodes were coming a few times a month, so we just thought she was "high" on meds. Now its so obvious its something medical. These episodes come so frequent now, where she is dead sober in a great conversation and she just gets a dead stare into space, her whole body tenses up and shakes, and she can't speak. Paralized like.

I am so worried, we were coming back from the ER (for me-not her) she was driving and had an episode. I was screaming stop the car, what are doing. She didn't even acknowledge I was there, she was all over the road. I had to pull her leg off the gas peddle and throw the car in park! I had to almost carry her into the backseat and drive off. OMG scariest moment of my life. My dad won't take her keys away!! He is an enabler, and i cant stand it.

Please help, what should I do??
