Newly diagnosed

[Sherka]

I was diagnosed in March after the entire right side of my body was numb. I am on a treatment plan but I keep getting this shooting pain and tightness from my fingers to my jaw on one side of my body. The pain lasts a few minutes then everything feels numb and weak. It goes completely away in about 30 minutes and I am back to “normal”. I haven’t figured out a trigger. Has anyone else experienced similar symptoms. Is this just one of the many fun things I will experience with MS? Sorry if this is a dumb question.

I had problems with something similar prior to an official diagnosis.

For me,it was the worst feeling of all the BS MS has to offer.

I also had similar issues prior to be diagnosed. Now it happens four or five times a year and I never know when it’s going to happen? No this is not a dumb question, we are not doctors but have experience lots of different things. Always feel free to ask anything 👍🙏😉. Ken 🐾🐾

Hi sherka the only dumb question is the one you don't ask!! I have not felt that particular pain/sensation, it makes me think of Ler something but I thinks that's in the way you bend your neck. Hope some one else can help. Welcome glad to have you. Mary

I will have times when I will have numbness in my hands, arms, and face. Usually goes away after resting. Sometimes it gets worse when stressed out. Sometimes my fingers will have spasms, that is a painful experience. Usually lasts for a few minutes. So far the neurologist is not concerned about it.

I have not experienced similar symptoms. Unfortunately I did not see any recommendations for treatments or meds in the replies from real experience. Check nationalmssociety.org to see what they say.

No question is dumb in this forum, Sherka . We are all here to help each other. I haven't had what you are describing specifically but I do get spasms in my leg, and occasionally, I get spasms that affect my jaw. Not sure why. I would definitely let my medical team know of these shooting pain that you are describing. Perhaps there is something that they can do to alleviate them.

Keep Smiling,

A very warm welcome to the family Sherka, It is just what it is in this M.onS.ter!👍😀I do have some incredibley awesome news for ya though! Go get my very highly recommended G*D send👍of an e'book by Ann Boroch, "Healing Multiple Sclerosis", & "The Candida Cure", those amazing books has changed many 1,000's of people's lives into reversal of many of the plethora of diseases out there, whenever our guts are clogged our whole bodie's system gets clogged, especially our precious brains!

So, when we cleanse & heal our guts, we are on the road to reversal, not just slowing progression! I have to say I have been on this candida cleanse for 7 months now & I am feeling so much more stable, regular, no more pains/spacisity, can excersise now, & just feeling better, no more drunkeness/dizziness feelings!
