Hi everyone! I haven't visited here in a while. Actually, I have been doing pretty well until just recently.
I have been getting this weird feeling in my right arm for the past few days and I was wondering if anyone else has ever experienced this: my right arm feels "tired" like I just did several sets of arm curls or like I just spent 20 minutes holding up a hair dryer, but i'm not sore?
It's a weird feeling because I haven't done any real exercises with my arms lately. I have been taking brisk walks nearly every day this week, but it would seem odd to have that tired feeling in my arm just from the natural swing from a brisk walk. My left arm is fine.
I have also had numbness on the top on my right foot and ankle for the last couple of weeks, but it's not numb enough to inhibit walking, it just feels weird when I touch it or something brushes up against it.
As background, I was diagnosed with RRMS in late 2012 and I have only had two official relapses. My first relapse was numbness in my pinky/ring finger on my left hand and my second relapse was Optic Neuritis in my left eye--I've never had issues in my right side.
Overall, I have been extremely lucky, but now I'm wondering if this worth a phone call to the neurologist. I'm not currently on any medications, I have been off Gilenya for about three months now - I should probably get back on it (I got off it for dumb reasons, like not wanting to deal with the specialty pharmacy and their long holds).
