I am new to this site. I have been having numbness and tingling going on for about 3 weeks. My brother is living with severe MS so I know somewhat about the disease. I have had numbness from just below my breasts clear down to my foot on the left and now it is going to the right. I have tightness in my abdomen and jerking of my left arm and leg when I get tired and dragging my left foot.
I go for my first MRI of the T-spine tomorrow with and without contrast. I am praying something will show up so that I can get a diagnosis and so I won't have to have another MRI to confirm it. My neuro says that he would have done the whole spine and brain, but my insurance would probably laugh in his face. I just want a diagnosis so that in the meantime I can get some relief with the symptoms.
Last week I also experienced black spots in the center of my eyes for just a few minutes and then they went away. Just waiting for an answer to all these problems.
We are also in the process of building a new house. My trigeminal neuralgia has also been flaring up recently. I have had that for the last 7 years diagnosed at age 35.
What problems. I am just glad that I found a community to share with.
God Bless Us All
