Ive had MS for 20yrs, but since this past October it has kicked into a gear Ive never experienced before. Over the years Ive had very small flares, not even worth going to the doctor for. They always were very mild and gone in a few days.
Well, October of 2011 changed all that for me. I went from working full time and completely independant one day to a concrete jello mess the next. I am using a walker and a use a motorized cart when shopping because I cant walk for long.
The newest member of my symptom "family" is cold feet. They wont stop being cold.. I use heating pads on them, socks and slippers, heating blanket and the stubborn feet wont warm up. Ive noticed that the cold is spreading up my legs and stop at my knees.
Ive actually been sitting here with a portable electric heater faced right at them for almost 2 hours now and they are still ice.
Anyone else have this problem? Is this just another MS symptom to enjoy?
