Hello all...my journey all started end of July..numbness on left head/jaw and right arm/leg...one week and then all my symptoms disappeared. My PCP treated my initially and said if things didn't get better he would almost think is was MS because of the wierdness of it. Well needless to say since things cleared up I thought no more of it.
Then mid-August came..woke up with no strength or control of the entire left arm and numbness/tingling of the right arm/leg again...back to my PCP..MRI...neurologists..testing, testing testing. Officially dx'd end of September started Copaxone mid-October...flair up last week--only right hand..unable to use...steriods...now things are starting to be back to the "new normal".
I know MS is not going to ever go away but I guess I am wondering if I will ever possibly get the sensation back in my fingertips? I know I am new to this and PATIENCE is the name of the game some days. I guess I am needing some possible hope that I can do my needle point work again some day possible because as of this time I can't do this and it is rather frustrating but I am learning to adapt.
I would just to know how much of abilities come back if at all after a flair up. It is just hard as there is no "support" program in my area and would just like to be able to ask real life questions and get real life answers.
I know people with MS and my husband is very supportive but I really think more "scared" of what could be.
