Hello,
I am a 34 female in New England
I have been experiencing tingling and numbness intermittently since August 2011 in both hands (the fingers -- all of them) and my right foot. I have had MRI's, blood tests, seen three neuros, etc and everything is clean. The neuros have said it could be just unexplained or it could be peripheral. I am actually fine with that explanation.
However, I get frustrated that I have done everything I can to alleviate the sensation, and it is still occurring. I have changed vitamins, I have seen a therapist, I have relieved stress, changed my mattress, been regularly exercising, have great kids and a great relationship with my husband.
I would like to know if you experienced tingling as one of your initial symptoms, and basically your only symptom, if you felt it in all of the extremities, or just one. And, if you were experiencing it, were you quick to a diagnosis, or did you have to wait years and experience more in order for testing to show lesions?
I would like to believe neuros and just "rule out" MS, but it is hard when everything I do doesn't stop the symptom.
Thanks so much,
jhk
