Nervous

Ok yesterday my neck started hurting. and yesterday morning i woke up because i had numbness in my right pinkie toe and my right ring and pinkie fingers. Last week i was stupid tired. and today i am getting random places of numbness for a minute or so and then it goes away. and i have been having headaches all week. these are all symptoms i had in 08 when i was sick all summer and diagnosed as possible MS. now they were WAY WORSE in 08, to the point of getting hospitalized, every test imaginable was run on me, and we were all baffled as to what was wrong, but I am still sort of nervous. My neurologist and I had agreed that i would not get on medication or be diagnosed unless i got sick again. i dont want to go through that again. tuesday i have my annual exam with my yuck dr, so i will get a referral to see a new neurologist when i go because my neurologist moved away and they want me to see another one at the practice, but i dont like him because he doesnt explain anything and last time i saw him, we were all so confused because we didnt know what was going on and he did not help at all.?

i do not want to get on the MS medication. I would likely practice alternative medicine if i was ever diagnosed. i have been eating healthy and exercising because those 2 things alone can stave off an MS episode. and at least i know if i start getting sick again that it is what it is and i wont have the same worrying like last time. i mean last time my initial diagnosis was a brain stem stroke - can you imagine the horror of trying to understand and deal with that? it was horrible to put it mildly.?

basically i need some good vibes from you all because i really dont want this and like i said before, i am starting to get the weird stuff happening. i just hope i am imagining things and it all goes away and everything turns out fine :) thanks in advance (and please dont mention anything on face book, i dont want to worry my family if its nothing)

  • I'm so sorry this is starting up again.  Hopefully it's just you being extra tired.

    I know this is different than what happened to you in 08 but last year I had some strange numbness in my legs.  After a few days of it not getting better I went to the Dr and he ran a bunch of tests and bloodwork and everything came back fine.  It ended up going away on it's own after a few weeks and the doctor thought it was from a virus (which I guess is rare but not totally uncommon).  I haven't had anything since.  Maybe a virus could be causing what's going on with you?

    Either way, lots of health and wellness vibes coming your way.  Please keep us posted.

    i wish it was just a virus, but i have a lesion in my left brain stem and one in my neck (left side) and i was told that they can flare up when they feel like it and cause the numbness. the neck lesion is old and i have always had problems with my neck right there, but the brain stem one is the one that messed with me in 08.?

    and during the week i felt some left facial numbness and i blew it off. that was my first symptom in 08. i will go to the dr this week and get an update and let you all know whats up. thanks for the good vibes! it really means alot to me :)?

  • I remember the facial numbness and the stroke conversation but I guess I forgot about the lesions.  I'm so sorry.
