OK - Here's a strange one. I was just dx'd so, I am observing my body and figuring out symptoms. I am in 'slight' flair up mode, right now. So, sure, the slight tingly calf is a symptom. But, over the last few days, in that calf area and the top of the foot, it feels cold. Just a small patch on the top of the foot that feels cold. Should i put this on the list of symptoms to live with? Just noticing and not complaining, as it is slight. Any one else ever have this one?
Also, I assume (as this is new to me) that when you are in 'slight flair up' mode, assorted symptoms present - bladder, this cold foot thing and the others i am living with at the moment, oh, and extra crappy sleep and oversleeping. All symptoms, thank G-d, are ones I can live with if they don't go away.

Yep, all of these sound very familiar...as to what you will and won't have to live with, only time will tell! But here is the thing to remember, while all of them can be MS, there are also many things that could be something else, so you want to keep a list and discuss all of it with your doc. You never want to suffer with something they can fix, and you do not every want to overlook a serious problem by just figuring it is MS. I am sure you have heard that before, but I always feel like I have to say it before saying, "Yep, that is all a part of MS!"
hope you will start to feel better, take care
