About 5 months ago I noticed my right foot was slapping the ground as I walked, then I started getting numbness and pins and needles in my foot which over time moved all the way up my leg to just below my hips. I also find it hard to concentrate/talk/think of words at times. I've seen a neurologist who has ordered an MRI of the head and spine and a nerve conduction test and blood test next month. However 5 days ago my right arm started going crazy at work, I couldn't hold my mouse as it was jumping up and down so much. I went to the doctor again and then casualty but they said they cannot do anything until the tests are done. I had a cold bath and syptoms weed to go (it has been very hot weather at the moment) I feel like I'm going mad and am really worried! Any thoughts or advice?
BTW, I also suffer from depression and have been on tablets for around 9 months.
Hello, well I've seen some replies on here that say anxiety can cause your symptoms and you'll know because you're on here that they sound like MS. I can only say you need to do some deep breathing meditation to help you calm down. Ms is scary yes, however you can live a full life with it and a long one. You need to be kibd to yourself. Heat affects Ms but then it usually affects people who have had a while. Is it possible you've had other symptoms but minor? Either way you would benefit from counselling. It's easy to say stop fretting and I wouldn't say that to anyone, however try find something else to focus on and distract you. Good luck 💮💮💮
Hi Bic, thanks for the reply. The main symptoms are the ones I listed but I have had other intermitent things like blurryness and seeing spots (not after looking at bright lights). Also had a wierd sharp pain a couple of times in the left hand side of my face. And yes I need to calm down, just can't help worrying as I'm in my early forties and have never felt these things before :-( I will try and do some deep breating as suggested :-)
Hi Andy male or female? I get dry eyes which cause problems when using a computer etc and use viscotears. I get sharp pains too. The later you get it the better, 40 is young but not for ms hit to go 🌹
