For the last day or so I've been feeling a bit out of sorts: Fatigue, moody, off-balance, dragging of my left foot.
Today, in particular, my symptoms seem to be intensifying though I'm not getting the needles and pins as much, but it's more replaced by numbness in one foot. I also can't seem to keep my eyes open and anything leaning against my legs; from pants to pets, is enough to be irritating beyond bearing.
A little background: I was only diagnosed just over 3 weeks ago after 10 weeks of putting it off because "mommy pains always go away if you wait long enough". My question now, though, is with all that's been going on lately, at what point should I start being concerned enough to call a doctor, or is this just the normal aches and pains of MS and should I just wait it out?

we all have a list of symptoms we have to put up with. Each of us have our own,.
So if it is symptoms you have had before just coming and going that is fine.
But if it is new symptoms and more new symptoms are stacking on top of more then call the doc
My doc said in most cases new symptoms mean new attack.
Hope this helps
But also, you can see a doctor if you want the symptoms treated. You may want to get a med or go to a physical therapist. Whatever you think. I go see a chiropractor and that helps my neck when it kicks up. Sometimes it helps to get physical therapy whatever way you like it. You could try swimming. Or anything that you enjoy.
Best,
