Scared

Hi all. I'm still new to this community. Haven't been diagnosed but possibly have MS. Dr. are now trying to eliminate everything else and I see a neuro in December. Anyway, I had an "attack" I guess you could call it--foot neuropathy with numbness and everything the last week in October. It went away as suddenly as it came. Well, tonight, it is starting back again. Is that considered a second attack, or is it just remnants of the first one?

could be one or two...it depends...not enough info to accurately answer...i was dx when I had numbness on my left side to my left foot and into my right foot...then the MRI confirmed my doctor's suspicions.

if you are worried hon... i would call your neuro... you sound worried and this way it will be on your records... some of us are at the point where we just accept it...sigh.. others where yes it is going to be worriesome....you should call your neuro at this point so that they can track how you are doing...cant hurt...

hugs

Definately talk to your Dr., but I will tell you that my Dr considered another attack of the same symptom w/in a month to be a continuation of the first...like the myelin on the nerve hadn't completely healed?? Regardless, you should definately let your Dr know - not sure it makes a big difference one way or another. What the Dr. will want to see to 'upgrade' you to probable/definate is a change in your lesions on your MRI over time. Feel free to ask me if this doesn't make sense. Diane

Definately call the neuro, get your concerns and sx on record. It may get you moving ahead sooner that Dec. Best wishes...... Steve

If you can't contact your neuro, you need to start a journal on your symptoms. At least you'll have a record of when you had them. Let your regular dr. know also. Good luck.

I agree that it may be a continuation from the first "attack." I also have numbness (and tingling) in my legs and feet, I haven't experienced this for 10 yrs. Good luck, hopefully u find a great neuro!! tasha :)

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
