New Area of Numbness/Tingling ...

[Daring_Greatly]

Hi Everyone,

I was diagnosed with RRMS in March 2017.

Until now, the numbness/tingling that I experience on a daily basis occurred in my hands/feet/arms/legs.

For the past 4 days, I have had numbness/tingling on the right side (only) of my abdomen. The sensation begins about waist level and moves up approximately 4-6 inches.

Ideas? Thoughts?

Thank you,

Carrie

No, no idea, just one of those MS mysteries I guess.

A couple of weeks ago I had vibrations start in both feet and within about 30 minutes my whole body was vibrating. Lasted maybe another 30 minutes or so. Most of my MS symptoms have been sensory things so far.

Hi Daring_Greatly MS is so strange isn't it? I just vibrate all the time. So l can't help you with what you're going through, but make sure you write it down and keep track of it. If it gets worse make sure you call your Neurologists or PCP. ☺ Do they have you on Lyrica or Gabapentin? Sometimes that might help.

I hope it goes away soon for you!

Hi @Jesmcd2

I am writing down my symptoms and yes, I am currently on Gabapentin. I am starting Copaxone soon.

Thank you for your reply,

Daring_Greatly it's Fancy1959. Since you are newly diagnosed it is sometimes hard to figure out your MS symptoms and your MS in general. When you have changes in your MS and they last more three or four days let your neurologist know. Especially if the symptom is painful or disrupts your day activity.

Dear Daring, (PS do you know Brene Brown's work?) Anyway, any symptom over 24 hours deserves a doctor call I believe. Hope it works out.

Daring_Greatly You may still be in an exacerbation. Sometimes they can last for months.

long ago, my nurse at Cleveland Clinic called the numbness "souvenirs"... We've all got them and sometimes they travel around depending on MonSter activity... After 30 years, my newest ones are much more troubling now that there are lesions on my spine, but I just keep on keeping on battling every day... I AM A WARRIOR!!! xo Cj

Daring_Greatly , I love your name! I'm so glad you're here where you'll find lots of support and information. Your neurologist should know of the changes, as others have said.

Keep us posted on how you're doing.

[Daring_Greatly in reply to greaterexp]

Thank you greaterexp - I will contact my neurologist and let him know of the changes.

Could be what is called the MS hug. Google the term and see if it applies to you. I too have tingling and tightness around my abdomen. It comes and goes.

Thank you RobertCalifornia ... I will Google MS Hug. Carrie
